Reasonable efficiency..


Apparently "fibre" cable company operatives spend most of their working day standing around looking at their mobile phones. I wonder what ever happened to the O&M department in these large companies, i.e. those people that were focused on making sure that employees actually did what they were paid to do, with reasonable efficiency?

Freeze?


So, don't know if the Tories realise this but pubs, restaurants, bars and clubs don't actually pay alcohol duty..

Fossilised Foliage


Fascinating story in the scientific press recently about a fossil forest found etched into an ancient cliff face in Somerset (Minehead) The fossil trees are thought to be around 400+ million years old (the Devonian period) and resemble palm trees. This makes sense as the UK (or at least some of it) at that point was positioned somewhere near the equator and basking in sub-tropical temperatures (oh we wish). It's amazing to ponder what journey our little island has been on, on a Human timescale it seems so solid and permanent, not so, it's wandered all over the planet in geological time.

Välkommen Sweden


Pleased to see that Sweden is now a paid up member of NATO, one more thorn in the side of Putin, with Finland also joining in April last year that enables everyone in the West sleep a little bit easier.

Friday Smirk


Haha, Jesus and Mo pointing out how "fragile and precious" some of our religious brothers and sisters can be sometimes, particularly the more zealous ones.
