Now, if you were regularly standing in front of hundreds of thousands of people, probably millions, and campaigning based on ethical and moral reform you would be pretty sure not to drop ya cacks in front of a hooker, let alone be caught by the FBI in a wiretap operaton arranging to meet a high [...]

I meant to blog this yesterday, but with a big quote to finish and small child to run around after, I forgot.

Now, I will admit to shitting my pants a small bit (just a little). [...]

Am I the only one who was watching the new series of Big Brother the other day and heard Dermot say that the turnover of Liam Youngs web design firm was £200,000 ? First, let me explain. The new series of ‘Celebrity’ Big Brother has a new celebrity each day take over the role of [...]

Yes Folk,
You can continue to dispose of your plastic and your paper in normal kitchen bin. Go crazy burning those old car tyres. Greenpeace, you can sell those old fishing boats and put your feet up in front of a nice imported, gas powered, faux fireplace. The environment is safe !

Hello again.
In my job there’s a lot of waiting around, often late at night as it’s the only time you can work on a system, and it’s the most common time for backups. First backups can take hours, and though we offer to copy the data on to a removable hard disk in order to [...]
