Uninteresting Trivial Facts

[Severus]

this time tomorrow will be in heaven. 17yrs waiting to see 5 lush men back together.....excited is NOT the word

My mates went last week. It is a sad state of affairs when intelligent women in their thirties go gaga over an entertainment act aimed at children. It's no wonder that shows such as Xfactor and britains got talent are so successful if this is what passes as music these days.

Anyway, I'm turning into an old fart. Have a great time.

Just back from a morning at a middle-class jumble sale where I was pack-donkey and bill-payer for the wife. Boden clearance sale. ##### awful experience of a huge hall full of 30- and 40-something Henriettas with sharp elbows and little tolerance for anyone in their way.

Never again.

That's it. Done. Just submitted my last invoice for a five month bit of work that involved 16 hour plus days over that time. Thank feck for the last of getting up at 5:15an and home at 8pm on a good night.

Outstanding challenge and excellent people, just a nightmare of a task doing the impossible for business people who don't understand that you can't just snap your fingers and expect countries with third world IT infrastructures to have the same responsiveness as central London.

The forum trolls might not appreciate it but I'm going to be spending a good bit of time getting back into the forum again

......expect countries with third world IT infrastructures to have the same responsiveness as central London.....

There's a difference? My offices are only just outside the M25, there seems to be an exponential drop off in quality of IT the further you get from central London it would seem!!!

I ordered two 4mbps network links in one "challenged" country, this came to over £200,000 per year plus the install charges and a delivery attitude of "it'll be ready when it's ready". The more you pressure them to give a delivery date, the less likely they are to turn up for work the next day.

Even the UK's worst infrastructure companies aren't that poor...

I'm not convinced the "challenged" nations help themselves, we shipped around £300k of microwave equipment into a central African nation to provide backhauls for mobile comms and broadband which took over 6 months to clear customs because the local customs decided they had their own shipping documents that needed to accompany the goods. I found this out after the equipment had been sat on the dockside for a month. There may have been a local "adminstration charge" to be paid in cash as well, I didn't get involved in that bit.

i started the original unintersting trivial facts thread some time ago on the old forums, back then i was first of the gang to die, the first post was "my next door neighbour is called brian" well hes moved now and now hes called neil!

It would normally have been sufficient to just move house. Why did he feel the need to change his name as well?

Ah, just thought ... Deed Poll Tax.

I've just got Windows Live Mesh working on my Mac acting as a live sync between my Mac, my home PC and my file server. It's one of those rare Microsoft gems that actually works properly, is simple to use and, best of all, is completely free.

I was driving to Rotherham today and, on the opposite northbound carriageway, a wagon had run off the road and caught fire. I don't know what it was carrying but it also set several trees on fire.
