Not the same as any of your five previous passwords. May not contain your name.

I got the shits with one site, and ended using "Thisisfucked!" - it was a bit embarrassing when I had to give a work colleague the password to order something

Many years ago when I was working in IT at one of the banks, I used to have change passwords for staff who had forgotten their passwords to the mainframe. In the team I was in, only I had access to do it. One of my colleagues, George, fancied himself as a bit of a ladies man, and had his eye on one young lass in particular. So as luck would have it, one day she logs a call saying she has locked herself out of the mainframe system and needs her password reset. George assigns the call to himself and asks me to reset the password to something so she can go in and then change it and says he'll pass on the new password to her when I've done it....

So of course, I reset the password to something like "GeorgeisBig" or "MuscleyGeorge" or something stoopid like that from memory, and give him the password to pass on to her... and he kind of looks at me as if to say, "Are you serious?" but after a couple of seconds, off he goes to see her to give her the new password.... I was pissing myself....

That way I don't have the same password for each and every thing.

Is this the sports injury thread?

I ruptured my Achilles last night. Not as painful as I've heard it can be. But its put an end to any sporting conquests in the near future.

Fuck mate, that's a death sentence for a cow.

Playing oztag. Just running up for a hitup when got hit by the sniper. Felt like I got a kick in the back of the ankle and just fell down in a heap. I'd heard that doing an achilles was meant to be extremely painful but this didn't feel too bad so I was hopeful it wasn't anything too serious. Trip to the physio this morning soon set me straight.

Seeing a specialist tomorrow to try and work out just how bad it all is, but I'll be out of everything for a while. No sport, no exercise, no driving for a while.

Had surgery today. Everything went well, apparently I chipped a bit of bone as well and now have a screw in my foot.

Now to just sit on my arse for a couple weeks and recover.
