It’s the season for it, and to celebrate the (almost) last working day before the big 2-5, we’ve joined many TV channels in producing our very own top-10 countdown. Based on some of the TV offerings we’ve seen, we could have chosen
to count down anything from our top-10 favourite Christmas puddings through to our top-10 yellow socks, but as we’re IT folks we thought we’d give something else a try.
So we’ve gone for……. the somewhat less-than-punchy title of our top-10 IT, tech or internet related jokes or funny quotes. In the humble opinion of the team at Complete IT Systems, it’s 10 of the best from around the internet.
Enjoy – and please make sure you reference (or at least think of us!) if you find yourself resorting to them on Christmas day when the cracker jokes have dried up!
