Shy, retiring . .

Never one to miss out for a multiple-business advert.

(but what is the point of the bloody almostbutnotquite space jaunt?)

Lamborghini Zagato 5-95 based on a Gallardo LP570-4.

It looks like a freshly landed Cod

How many . . .

. . . cats can the thing seat?

I forsee YouTube being inundated with 'cute kitties ride on cleaner' vids.

Looks like . . .

. . . the Playmonaut has a handy cold box next to them - full of play tinnies, I hope.

Securitai

Gawd nose what they'd do if they had to use a system that checked for double characters, any real names,series of numbers (including Pi), password used within the last two years, minimum 10 characters and others.

It was a system that allowed access to anywhere on a circuit - and you could re-boot an entire exchange if you really wanted to.

(It got so tedious trying to find a new password every four weeks that most people wrote down the password and previous ones.)

Since when has . . .

. . . 'Password' , '12345678' or 'sesame' been "Brute Froce"?

Reduction

Well, yes, it can and will be reduced -- the more that people find ways of not using Google to search for stuff then there will be a reduction of people using Google to search.

Can I have my consultation fees now?

Lounge?

First I need to move to somewhere I can afford a place with a lounge. Next, it has to be big enough to soundproof-- then we can look at a new system.

I wonder . . .

. . . how long it will be before their homepage is pwnd?

It's only words . . .

While working for a large and well-known telecomms company there was a company-wide block on any 'swearwords' used for passwords.

This missive can only have come from clueless management as some of my passwords changed to ones that were not blocked:

B01lck5

Phuque0rf

were a couple of favourites used in response to the emails.

Expert?

Blimey, a couple of over-publicised spliffs and she's an bleedin' expert?

O.K. maybe a line of something as well)

Booze is the real culprit here -- how much 'social' stuff is done post-pub?

I won't be getting an achy-breaky heart over it.

Franchised stores

Having just about found enough dosh to set up the business and being understaffed usually results in several 'short-cuts' in running the business.

Far too many 'managers' of franchises shouldn't be put in charge of a tea cup ride at the fair - all they know comes from a 'business studies' course that convinced them they could take over the world.

Expectation

I guess one of these things will be delivering my personal jet-pack or autogyro or atomic domestic cooker.

“A new scientific research paper is published nearly every 30 seconds

And, judging by some I've seen, most are of the 'DR' Gillian McKeith variety.

There seem to be a hell of a lot of people on the 'Alternative' circuit who release 'papers' and do a lot of lectures (PR jobbies) to the already converted.

They are published in journals that have a coverage that must reach, oooh, a dozen. Journals that are run by people who also host 'conferences' that are also PR jobbies.

The difference between these and the 'Doris'* circuit is waffer thin.

*Doris - collective name for mediums.

Value for money

"For £120, you can meet myself and LOHAN rocket wrangler Paul Shackleton at Vulture Central in London,"

Considering the cost of coughing up to meet our esteemed Prime Minister for tea and cakes, a mere £120 seems far greater value.

(Is there a pub called 'Vulture Central'?)

Pub Bore?

Is this Twitter doing a 'see how many friends I've got' like wot Facebook users used to?

Are we now to experience sad gits who wave bits of paper around that 'prove' how 'popular' they are? Some of those people just go on and on and onan onan onan onan . . .

Sign of the times

A while back the comments would be littered with Star Trek references.

It would appear that holograms are not compatible with Game of Thrones.

Where's Captain Kirk?
