Re: London centric obsessing

I tele-commuted across 2,700km every day for 3.5.years.

Apart from a few flights over for the xmas party, I never saw the people at base office.

Worked very well.

Headmaster

When I were a lad.....

Handwriting ability was a testable part of the school curriculum. This was in the days of nib and inkwells too. We had special books with faint lines for us to follow. If the serifs on the end of each letter didn't reach the correct lines, it often resulted in a telling off by an ICBM* wielding teach.

But then I'm old.

* ICBM: Intra-Classroom-Ballistic-Missile (aka: chalk duster).

Good show I say

Person 1 thinks about the less fortunate, makes a sacrifice, saves/donates some cash, tells others.

Person 2 gets a benefit/some cash, thinks about the assistance, eats a bit better.

What's wrong with this?

Re: I can't believe...

Sadly, they were tested, in a live theater of war.

The unfortunate operators/civilians who died or were injured were the lab rats.

The operators that survived a blast were probably told that they weren't holding the device right.
