Years back I made a technical presentation at a computer show which was covered by the industry press and who contrived not only to get my name wrong, but fouled up my job title too... "Mr M Bareback, Anal Programmer, indicated that the cyclomatic complexity indices for the software under review wer...

"The Daily Mail got a scoop, but got the names of the crew wrong" The article hopelessly mis-spelled my name! And to this very day, some thirty years later, I am still most thankful and grateful that it did!! :-bd :-bd So your real name is Slinky the Pilatus? ;)))

A kind and gentle member here, who I didn't know personally, who has clearly suffered bad health with great humour and fortitude. I am truly saddened at his loss. RIP HF.

Handsfree (Eric) passed away last night.

I have opened a seperate thread.

Louche, decadent looking ape that he is!

Midst all the perils that one might encounter in Southern Africa, there is now this new one (apparently)...

Estate Agent ? Inappropriate ?

As we know, Douglas Adams used a Highbury based estate agency, Hotblack Desatio as the name of the humanoid rock band leader of the Galactic rock band Disaster Area, who died in the Restaurant at the End of the Universe for tax purposes!

No apologies needed by me anyway. I trust your better half is on the mend EA01!

Gonzo in Botswana... I know that Botswana is a big place but socially and business wise it is a small place, and often there in not much more than two degrees of separation between people, particularly the small white community!
