"your medical records are perfectly safe with this shower."

Really? Because my experience with NHS Direct is that their IT people have trouble in the shower finding their derriere with both hands. Oh hang on... this is that irony thing I don't understand, isn't it?

<FX: wavy lines>

This takes me back to a conference a few years ago when an NHS Direct bod gave a speech about their "great success" in ensuring that that hundreds of thousands of iToys owned by medical staff were all permitted to access the network within a few hours of the latest Apple product launch. Most of the non-NHS IT bods sat staring and asking if they had thought through he implications of a massive BYOD with access to sensitive personal data. The answers seemed more than a little complacent.
