Hi,

Good grief!! you have too much time on your hands

I pay a premium so Zen staff can throw angry birds around the office ??!?!?! Thank god my connection just works and I don't have to "disturb" their fun!

Not enough time or there would be more buildings and they would be bigger.

for more birds to throw around huh?

Good grief!! you have too much time on your hands

I wish! But after buying a few Angry Birds as desk ornaments, an after-work recreation of the game itself seemed inevitable

Subtle, very subtle

Excellent, from that and the other Zen clips on Youtube, Zen looks like an incredibly fun place to work.

No wonder the staff always sound so happy on the few occasions I've raised a tech support or billing query by phone.

There's no way you would get three stars for that poor performance

If they are making their own rules they might.

Like most places, half the workforce messing around whilst the others do all the hard graft. Ha ha

The video was made as a bit of fun after the end of a shift.

It would have been fairly difficult to make while doing work, though the idea trying to aim and fire Angry Birds while simultaneously diagnosing a DSL problem over the phone does have a certain appeal... maybe in a future video

Now if only I could get that into some of my Regulatory meetings in London I'll be a happy chappy

Rovio and T-Mobile Spain, having obviously been inspired by the efforts of the staff here at Zen, decided to have ago.....

Brilliant

Frankly, we're going to have to try harder...

Your version does have a certain rustic charm. It's also made on a yorkshire budget

Lancashire, please (although - clues in his forum alias - Paul is from Yorkshire).

Budget? Luxury! In my day you could spend two-and-six on t'catapult (we made us own out of coal, tha knows) and STILL have change left over for t'Angry Birds.

Mind, only Angry Birds we 'ad on us phones back then were t'pigeons on t'telegraph line when they got shooed off. Angry? Made a right mess.

Kids these days... don't know they're born.

Thanks (on both counts)
