An appliance for removing creases from clothing, I'm told. They traditionlly inhabit an area known as the "airing cupboard". - (sourced @ Wikipedia for Men 2006)
Amazing. What will they think of next?
Things to moan about. Today it's about the nhs.

Team Leader Reports and Mission Overview Reports... Especially when THEY ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS AND ARE FILLED OUT THE SAME WAY!!!
If I could just invent a portable, field expedient copier with editing capabilities (iPhone and Android accessory, perhaps?) I could copy one form and simply paste my handwritten answers and John Hancock onto the other...
I moan about the deja vu effect they have on me all the time... when someone else isn't moaning about them...
Fill out one form........shoot a pic of it.........send it.
All umpteen pages of them? No thanks. Plus I'd have to photoshop them to delete unit affiliation and protect identity...
I can fill in the general gist of what I fill out if you are curious what it involves: "Where did you go?" "Attach Coordinates... "Did you complete your assignment?" - "Attach GPS Start/Stop"... "What did you see?" "What are the coordinates?"... Are there any areas you did not cover due to terrain or time contraints?" "Attach coordinates"... "Are there any areas that need to be re-searched?" ... and you guessed it, "attach coordinates". "What clues were located?"... "Attach coordinates"... etc, etc... Then you fill out an entire 2 pages involving probability statistics, which you must under-guestimate (so you don't appear over-confident in your search efforts)... Like probability of detection percentages if subject was alive vs. dead, with multiple sections to cover all the types of terrain covered, etc...
That's one of the forms I fill out all the time. Called the Mission Overview Report. I fill that one out with my team. Then, after they get to go home, I move on to the Team Leader form... WHICH SAYS THE SAME DAMN STUFF pretty much! 
Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork... All after yanking me out of bed, slogging up and down snow covered hillsides for 12 hour shifts, then when back at Station, my other job (paperwork), begins. But the reward is worth it.
Send them to me, I'll photoshop them for you.

No, not him. This person is much higher up the food chain than Pump.
how about a miniature excerpt from your "Who the bejayzus am i" thread for a clue ?

Ex-Pope Ratzinger, the King of the Pedos? (Unofficial)
no relation to Bob Geldof the ratsinger, I hope.
Not quite, MD. One was an Irish scallywag who helped the hungry and was Sainted, another an ex Hitler Youther who helped the fiddly...and will soon be Sainted.
it's a bit like how the universe creates living beings by splitting the person and the antiperson from zero!
Wow, the quantum mechanical theory of good and evil! You are on to something, MD, have a slice of brainy cake....

I might need a slice of that.

It's not a drink. Although it sounds like it should be.
