It’s been another shitty day, with “urgent” projects and amendments that need to be done yesterday.
However, it means that when push comes to shove, my mouth is on autopilot when it comes to Arsehole Boss.
AB : Lyle, you shouldn’t take these things personally.
Me : Oh, I don’t. I just assume that the world is filled with incompetent bastards who can’t find their own arses with both hands and a flashlight.
AB : … [ silence ]
Me : Know what? I’m rarely wrong.
Maybe this is just me, but doesn’t it seem a bit bizarre to have a sand-sculpting festival in Brighton, one of the stoniest beaches (with the least sand) in the country?
In fact they’ve had to import sand from Holland in order to have the festival at Brighton.
Weirder than weird, in my oh-so-humble opinion…
OK, great idea, releasing new-style number plates that supposedly make them harder to remove/swap“. In theory, anyway.
However, what you have to bear in mind is that when people “clone” cars in order to evade things like Congestion Charge, speed cameras and the like, they don’t actually steal the number plates in the first place. They just make a note of what the reg is, wander into any car-parts place, and ask for a pair of numberplates to be made up with that registration. No need to prove you own that car, or anything.
So what would actually stop this issue would be changing the law to make it so that you have to produce – say – the tax disc, or the insurance documents for the car when you ask for numberplates to be made up, and they can only be made up in the same registration as that on the documents you’ve provided.
Common sense really, isn’t it?
Amazingly, D4D™ now contains no less than 847,718 words.
D4D™ started on 9th August 2002, so it's been going 2779 days or roughly 7.61 years.
In that time, I've not posted on 187 days all told. Not bad.
