The Royal Navy -RIP

About 50 years ago I read Professor Parkinson's book "Parkinson's Law".

In in there was information about the post WW2 manning of RN .

There was a large decline in active seaworthy warships and personal to man them, but an marked increase in the number of Admirals,Vice Admirals etc to administer the declining capability of RN.

Things have only become much more so now that vast amount of money is spent on bureaucracy and bugger all on operational capability .

Green anything, not just windmills !

Dear Tim,

Plead don't confuse the Greenies and friends with facts , reality and reason.

Greetings Sir Runcible Spoon,

Mr. Obama promised to close the Dachau type concentration camp within a year, when he took over the job.

He just hasn't managed to deliver on his promise- as is ofter the case with politicians

It was NOT BP

Dear Anonymous, Thursday 21st April 2011 20:54 GMT,

BP employed a company witch is a specialist in deep water drilling.

They were the owners and operators of the rig that exploded.

Why blame BP just because the Americans do?

Caesium

Dear Anon Coward, Posted Tuesday 12th April 2011 14:43 GMT

Caesium 137 is something my wife is very familiar with.

Following a Hysterectomy for Overian and Uterine Cancer ,she had 6 months of Chemotherapy , 5 weeks of Radiation by a machine blasting her with "External Beam Radiation Therapy" .

Then as a final treatment she had three days of Internal Radiation by an insertion of Caesium 137.

An impressive sign on the entrance to her room warned not to enter because of this dangerous radiation.

I ignored it as it seemed completely stupid to me.

The point about all this , is that eleven (11) years later her (and I ) and not showing any ill effects of the radiation.

If their is any life reduction because of it , it needs to happen soon as she is now 75

Get your dose of Caesium 137 , it can save your liffe.

Two hands-too right!

It is called a Claymore.

Got that Seymore.

US protection

Dear Anon.Coward, Tuesday 5th April 2011 13:38 GMT

Absolutely correct, The Americans consider anyone who is not an American, has no rights and they can be treated like a mad dog and be "lawful" in their minds.

A Drop ?

Mr Anon 1 April 22.42 GMT,

Detractors keep up this verse on each release, but Ubuntu keeps on getting more popular.

Now about 60% of Linux uses on on Ubuntu.

Be Happy, don't worry.

Well '); DROP TABLE

Speaking from wet New Zealand, I can only assume the SA Government are taxing rainwater because there is bugger all of it in Australia.(Except occasionally in Queensland and NSW)

However it is strange that the Canberra Government wants to tax Carbon because you have too much of it.

Bollocs to Gore also

The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the American Politician Al Gore for promoting the alleged global warming , now called Climate Change to sound more scientific .

Thanks bigsnap

I hadn't a clue.

Manilow Magic

When Aircraft fall from the sky during these tests it will be due to the aliens, force field or terrorists.

Sounds like extrotion

or extortion!

However, it seems you are not of the breed that proclaims "Give me Liberty or give me Death".

Just as well a previous generation (1940 vintage) wasn't as weak kneed as you.

Jake,I am as mad as Hell

and I am not a teenager, but an Octogenarian (what a big word).

Just as well I am having a cup of tea or I would have been even more angry .

Take that

Finally - Linux is loverly.

(and -Peace and Joy to all)

Donlt know how long

I don.t watch NCIS type programs

Saves me from going in for ideas of a conspiracy under every bed.

Would you give us of those here who do not know as much as you about dog attacks, to give a personal demonstration of the ability of ordinary clothing to protect against a savage dog attack..

However , arrange for an ambulance to be ready on site.

Good Luck

I love Sudo

I often Sudo in the Terminal of my Ubuntu OS.

Will now leave very fast.

Go Mark

Dear "The Cube",

Please post a photo of yourself so that we my make derogatory , stupid and ignorant comments about your appearance .

What have you achieved lately? Susan Boyle has gone from obscurity to being worth millions in a couple of years, because of her talent.

what talent do you have?

Spending too soon ?

Greetings Mr. Jones,

Mark is free to spend his spare cash anyway he wants to.

Do you use Ubuntu, or are you just spouting regurgitated here-say?

I have been using Ubuntu for 3 years and it is now very stable.

The nightmares about the blue screen of death have subsided now thankfully.

I suppose I should not mention any of the faults that Microsoft have had and still do.

Quite Mr strum

Dear strum,

Any data he collected , however real , true and factual would not get published by an Scientific magazine,

It is a forbidden subject ,

You must believe what the "majority" say and not be a heretic .

I bet I am older than your mother -and father, and I am not confused by this partition for home directory idea.

Have done it a few times when installing the beloved Ubuntu.

I also back up the home directory frequently.

I learned many moons ago that hard drives go silent and are never heard from again,and just when everything seemed to be going so well.

Peace be with you young man.
