Phil Perry Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 "I hate sorting out my network problems. . ." I've seen a computer that was programmed by plugging wires like that. Can't remember the brand. It was used by an insurance company in the same building as the computer centre I was in charge of for a bank. And,. . . .I've seen a mess like that at THE major civilian Air Traffic Control centre, in the UK, since it was moved from it's post war location of West Drayton. I cannot name the place to protect my mate, ( Swanwick ) Matey says that the system fails and goes down in one way or another regularly, as it was designed in a hurry, then implemented by LAYMEN Civil Servants, none of whom had any training nor experience whatsoever, in IT systems of ANY kind,. . Let alone one of the most important and critical systems in use in the UK today.. . . I've said to him on a number of occasions,. . that he ought to sell his £950K house and land in the UK, and take his family to Australia. . .maybe CASA could find a little job for a very clever Civilian Aviation IT expert like him,. .he is the right age, ie, 39,. . .I still have not decided whether or not he is a Masochist for doing what he does. . . .

old man emu Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Put this tennis ball container over the foam can and give the piece a fancy name like "Federer -v- Nadal" and send it off the Wimbledon. It will sell for a motza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Perry Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 From the Daily Mail: ROYAL NAVY "SILENT SERVICE" FACES EQUIPMENT SHORTAGES MORE SUBMARINERS THAN SUBMARINES HAHAHAHA ! Have you read about the sacking of quite a lot of Submariners recently ?. . .apparently, now that Female ratings and officers are allowed on Subs, there have been reported cases of sexual liaisons between officers of disparate ranks, and Cocaine fuelled parties on board nuclear Subs whilst on Active duty 'Protecting' the country ! . . .I may be a Dinosaur, but I still do not agree with Women serving alongside men in certain military circumstances where this sort of activity is almost inevitable . . .( The Cocaine bit is possibly a newer 'Thing' but very worrying. . .) I don't have an issue with the Ladies flying military transports, they seem to be pretty good at this in the USA. . . but Frontline combat pilots, Naval officers / ratings / artificers and Submariners ? . . .Nah. . . it isn't going to work, as has been proven on a number of occasions. The Military is a 'Hairy Bloke' thing. . .and so should it remain. WE ARE THE HUNTER GATHERERS.. .Whatever the purple haired SJW Feminist idiots say. . . Professional Military officers of Both sexes are, after all, only Human, and are driven by certain carnal desires and feelings. . . I do not relish the thought of some cocaine addled rating in charge of of ANY system on a NUKE sub really. . . .maybe it's just my own stupid 'MAN' prejudice. . . .

Phil Perry Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 There was a bloke in a wheelchair in the local pub 2 days ago, I saw what he was drinking and bought him another pint. He was wearing a Royal Marines beret and must have been in his late seventies at least. I said, "Thank You for your service Sir" Please allow me to buy you this. I got it wrong, he was actually drinking a dark 'Real Ale'. . . and simple bollox here bought him a pint of Guinness. . .STILL he was very grateful and astonished that anyone recognised the badge on his hat. . . . The Lady accompanying him turned out to be his Grand Daughter, ( after a brief chat with them ) and I didn't notice him JUST because his GD was gorgeous to die for, wearing a tight outfit of slinky satin and black stockings. . .. . .Oh no no no. . . I'm not that sort of bloke as you know. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
