Stacks of my tears
Last week we suggested an IT pub named The Stack, which really seems to have caught your imagination. ‘I might “pop” in, although I may have to “push” to the front of the queue,’ says Paul Morris at Nottingham Building Society, successfully cracking jokes that no one outside his department will begin to understand.
Kevin Campbell at EDS suggests: ‘The Stack would only have the first person arriving leaving last if it was a First In Last Out stack.
The other variant of stack, First In First Out, gives us the FIFO Stack and the LIFO Stack. Early in the day the LIFO is preferred (stay all day) while later on the FIFO is preferred,’ he says, helpfully.
Mike Hayward at Helenswood School says: ‘Down in Hastings we already have a pub in the old town called the FILO or First In, Last Out. It has been here since the 1600s, showing what a pioneering bunch we are.’
We mean this nicely, but it could be there for another 400 years and we are still not going anywhere near it.
