Hang on a minute!

Back in the mists of my youth, I can remember being told that the Americans had spy sattelites that could read the headlines from orbit on a paper being read by a man in Red Square.

I heard the same old stuff a couple of weeks ago BUT by now, should they not be able to read the tiny little by line crediting the reporter? (Justin Dunski?)

And I was also told, while at school in the 70's fer fecks sake (when most of you wher not even ova) that an area the size of a football pitch is cut out of the Brazilian Rain forest EVERY DAY.

Soooooooo, either the Brazilian Rain forest is a lot bigger than it looks on sattelite pictures, because they still say that football pitch thing, or there is about a four foot square patch of it left, crammed full of animals and native tribes - and the media and David Attenborough have been keeping it quiet because it now turns out that the bloody oceans are the "Lungs of the planet" and they feel silly.

Also I remember being told that computers would mean we would all be doing about 2 hours of work a day and have a lot more leasure time.

Oh hang on...........

GOD DAMN GOOGLE - LEEEEEVE IT!

Google, well know search engine and lover of tarting up its logo to commemorate whatever the blinking gusset is going on at whatever time of the year, have replaced two of the letters in their logo with a "Delightfully cute" old couple, tottering along hand in hand, with the woman holding a nice bunch of red balloons.

Is this supposed to say that we will be with our true love until she is so decrepit that she needs half a dozen helium filled mini zepplins to keep her upright, if of course it's true love (because if it was not she could stay in that damn wheel chair forever while we hump her less elderly sister in the next room)

Or is it supposed to say "Don't worry! even with a colostomy bag fitted you can still pull!"

I will let you know next year. (before any of you lot say it!)

No not Valentines Day, well not totally, but I have actually spent this morning working (mostly)

I even pre did a few songs to appear on Channel 136 during today, last night at S&F's using the edit date stamp option. Because I knew I had something to do this morning.

So bloody THERE!

And I am not in tomorrow so I really had to get it done.

But I think I may have to laze around abit this arvo, don't want to strain myself now do I.

A Guilty Cyberman sort of feeling......

In this wonderous and interesting job working with spreadsheets of data and compiling and editing reports all day, I do a lot of cutting and pasting.

One of the commands I click on my pc on a regular basis
is "Delete Row"

At least I feel guilty about it.

Sorry Row. It's nothing personal.
