1. ?

   1. ??!

2. I’d like to shake a Happiness Engineer by the throat.

   Of all the ridiculous names for inane jobs, that takes the biscuit.

3. Here here!

   1. Completely off the topic, but having just twigged your gravatar complete with guitar, are you the Julian who used to work at Eversheds?

      1. Yes!

         1. I’m still here!

            1. you have the advantage, I don’t remember any Dolphins at Senator in my day….julian/round@gmail.com

               1. There’s a clue to his real identity here:

                  1. Well! Thanks for that BD, I had to pop to my old photo album and put a face to the name.I left ‘the City’ in 2006, a terrible thing redundancy when you’re 59,so it took a moment to place him. Nice to know he’s still keeping the old firm on the rails….

                     1. He features in quite a lot of the photos on the blog’s Facebook page:

                        1. What a splendid collection! As my book is over 6 years out of date it took a moment for the penny to drop. Bit like my puzzle solving……. Thanks again.

4. For the 4th time of asking!
   I can’t do this via IE – have to log in via Mozilla!

   I didn’t even know I had a wordpress account – so when I set that up heaven alone knows.
   Why to technology companies have the muck around with things that ain’t broke!

5. Thats one “Happiness Engineer” who has not made me happy. Talk about a backwards step.

6. I see that someone has given this 1*! I’m still trying to work out a way for awarding a negative 3*

7. I’ve contacted wordpress pointing out that since their change my Display name “Wayne” has been replaced by my password “yepmopdog2” and therefore needs modification. After a long and tortuous process I’ve finally found a ‘contact us’ facility and have posted a question.Awaitin response with baited breath.

   1. No response from wordpress, Happiness Engineers bl**dy useless. BD put me on the right track so hope i’ve got my name back.

8. I have yet to see a change, but then I have a wordpress account and I save the details.

9. It seems to work for me using my WordPrss login but for what reason.

   Who are these people who dream up ridiculous non-job names?

   We have plenty over here as well. No doubt there are courses to learn the techniques!

   1. It’s the same people that renamed dustbinmen (a proud and longstanding profession) as ‘Sanitary operatives’ and traveling salesmen (a not so proud profession) as ‘representatives’!

      1. … and illegal immigrants as asylum seekers.

         1. Are these guys that do the renaming ‘spin doctors’, who used to be known as ‘Liars’?

10. Oh dear, oh dear…

11. What a mess, I had tried everything I could think of even contacting wordpress to no avail, what a stupid thing to do, I was almost giving up when I remembered my gmail acct email address, which thank goodness has worked, now I just have to find my little dog!!

12. What a load of buggeration! And for what reason pray tell?

    1. Have the “Y”s gone?

       1. Yep. Looks like you are back in the room!

       2. ‘Y’s? Hi spindrift yes I think they’ve gone I have had to use a new email address to be able to get back on the site I am now trying to find my little dog, what a stupid mess!!!!

          1. The bad news is that to get the dog back you will need to create a new account with Gravatar.com and that means you will have to be logged in to it in order to comment!

             Apparently this has been caused by a knee-jerk reaction to various people pretending to be Matt, who owns WordPress and Gravatar. There surely has to be a better solution.

             Read about it here:

             1. Oh dear Ive already logged in and am waiting reply I hope this doesn’t cause me problems again thanks Dave, I wait in dread

13. Happiness Engineers, I don’t think so I have been far, far, from happy the last three days!!!!

14. Happiness Engineers? Sound like a bunch of tree hugging yogurt knitters!

15. Reply for Prolixic.

    Yes, I plead guilty as charged to the Eversheds employment!

16. Well that’s as clear as mud to me!

17. I wonder if my dog works now

    1. obviously not!

       1. I’ve found him!

          1. Ooh am I back to normal now then Dave, you are so clever, very impresssed thank you

             1. Oh dear!

          2. How did you do that I can’t seem to, when I log back into my other email address it just tells me it’s assosciated with a wordpress gravatar acct and to use back button and log in when I do it just says the same thing again!

             1. I amended the email address in your comment.

18. Test

    1. Looks nothing like you!

       1. but, from a distance, if you squint and cover one eye….

19. Working again?

    1. Oh name change?

       1. Third time lucky

          1. Not that lucky – I had to fish you out of the spam filter.

             This change really sucks. There’s another forum thread here which demonstrates how stupid people can be when they try and defend the indefensible (yes, it’s you designsimply that I am talking about!).
