The company in the building opposite this one is apparently involved with Huntingdon Life Sciences. I can tell this because there's a protest going on outside that building right now; from my desk I can hear a lot of scary mob-type yelling, an occasional amplified voice, and a variety of parping noises which are either someone playing a brass instrument terribly badly or car horns from motorists trying to get past.

I'm finding them moderately intimidating just sitting in the next building having nothing to do with the subject matter. When I went out to buy lunch they were only just beginning to gather, but by the time I came back half an hour later they were looking worrying enough that I decided to avoid them by going back into the office via the back door.

They'd better have given up and gone away by 5:30 when I want to leave. With any luck all that manic yelling will have given them sore throats by that time.

It's probably something to do with Physics or Paediatrics. Easily confused these mob types.

The tactics of animal rights activists are working really well to convince me the experiments should take place.

Nah. Too hard to extrapolate the results to humans.

If they ever find out that HLS use mobile phones, they'll be camping directly outside your office next.

That happened to a company in a bulding next to ours on Tuesday.

You should try working on the Downing Site.

Where do you work? We had protesters too at about that time...

Oh, and I've solved my DNS problem. See my latest entry if you're interested in the answer!

The ARM offices are on a small business park on Fulbourn Road, Cherry Hinton, which also contains Acambis (which was the company targeted by the protesters) and a couple of other buildings I don't know anything about.
