Another day, another ....
Its been an entertaining day one way or another. Our LAN was still down this morning but late this afternoon came the good news that Batgirl had been resuscitated and was once more available. Someone really ought to tell IT that "resuscitate" and "available" may not be quite accurate or even advisable words to use in conjunction with ladies of the nature of the Bat Caped lady, even less so of a computer server! The bind moggles!
Still, we can now talk to the right printers, each other and the outside world again. And all from our desk tops.
I notice this evening that Matthew over on Skipjack DOT info has a couple of posts worth exploring (he has a lot more as well, but you get my drift.) and one in particular caught my eye. Titled "First post of the year" it is the text of Kipling's poem "If". Hackneyed it may be, trite it possibly could be, but it still has something to say to us all. Thanks Matthew.
A pity though that our illustrious leaders cannot see the dangers in slavishly following the EU diktats and not backing off the power hungry bureaucrats for a change. Tim, of An Englishman's Castle says it very well in his post titled "Freedom to work". Like him I want to live in a country where I accept responsibility for my own actions, where I am not ordered about by bureaucrats with no common sense and a plethora of rule books and without the blackmailing or bullying of the Union bosses.
An economic market union, yes, a United States of Europe? NO!
It is nice to see that there are others out there who think as I do that we are all individuals and all responsible for our own failings, decisions and situations. Iain and Kris on The Edge of England's Sword hit the nail square on the head with Kris post on the patent nonsense of morons who try to blame their own decision to eat fast food on the supplier. My response is to want to shout at these morons "Grow up for heaven's sake and get real!" Read Kris' comments for yourselves under "My fault, not McDonalds". Great stuff Kris.
