Crash!

Okay, so I know I don’t attend a lot of University, in fact my attendance is shocking, but I do try. And it’s things like this that cause me to fail. Let me set the scene, from about two weeks ago…

I set off for Lincoln, from my home in Skegness (well, not actually in Skegness, thank god, but close enough) in plenty of time. And when I say plenty, I mean plenty! We’re talking three hours before the lecture starts, for a journey that, at most, takes an hour and half. And yet I miss the lecture. Completely. By, like, an hour. Woop.

Why? Just look at the freaking pictures! Some piddly little accident between a car and a lorry. In other words, some fucking idiot pulled out in front of something because he couldn’t see. And, and this is pure conjecture, I would be willing to bet they couldn’t see on this wonderful sunny day, because they were not wearing sunglasses. Thus, they deserve everything they got. And, seen as no one was hurt (essentially) I think the driver should be shot. Or at least given three points and a 60GBP fine.

After all, you get fined for not wearing a seatbelt, what the fuck for?? And don’t go quoting ‘the one not wearing the seatbelt did the damage‘ shit at me, I don’t give a fuck. If you’re driving, you tell people what to do, it’s your responsibility. If you don’t mind, or more importantly, if you’re on your own, why are you being told what to do in your car?? This is complete bollocks, and is only exacerbated by the fact there is no punishment for the fucking morons who refuse to wear sunglasses when driving in bright conditions. This is completely unacceptable behaviour, and I absolutely believe it causes major accidents. And the culprits? The brain dead trash who you see peering underneath the sunvisor, driving through a small letterbox sized gap, even then still unable to see properly. Mirrors? Pah, who needs mirrors! Fuckers.

Your Daily Quote [21st November 2007]

You will find that the State is the kind of organization which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly, too.
John Kenneth Galbraith

Thanks to quotationspage.com.

You have to love the irony of this quote, coming out at this exact time, surely. Well I do. How the hell did they manage to lose the data? Well, to be honest, they didn’t lose the data. The Royal Mail lost the data. Okay, I know I’m being pedantic, but it goes much deeper than that. The second they needed the send the data anywhere (geographically speaking) they lost it. Nothing is 100% bullet proof, and this is why people should relax. I will end my rant before it begins (I’m really tight on time today, my apologies) by posting the same comment I posted to the BBC website. Needless to say, this is the only place it will be approved…

“Wow. People seriously need to calm down, I mean just posting a comment is giving the BBC plenty of information about you…

And why does everyone think the information is going to be used malevolently? The parcel could be lodged down the back of some machinery for all we know.

In fact, this was probably the safest way to send the data. Nobody knew about this! Unless they marked the envelope ‘Private Details; Half the Populous of Britain’ who the Hell is going to know?

You people sicken me!”

And finally something from my future. As many of you are aware I very much hope to be self employed early on in my working life, and to do so I need to follow advice of others who have gone before me. Actually this quote is even better than that, because I read the book it came from. Awesome, no? I read a book. Can’t quite believe it myself.

All existing business models are wrong. Find a new one.
