From the Telegraph:


I have no idea what a "Kafkaesque" is, but I agree with him 100%!

ahh the power of Google & Wikipedia

Full quote here - Kafkaesque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Kafkaesque" is an eponym used to describe concepts, situations, and ideas which are reminiscent of the literary work of Prague writer Franz Kafka, particularly his novels The Trial and The Castle, and the novella The Metamorphosis.

The term, which is quite fluid in definition, has also been described as "marked by a senseless, disorienting, often menacing complexity: Kafkaesque bureaucracies

It can also describe an intentional distortion of reality by powerful but anonymous bureaucrats. "Lack of evidence is treated as a pesky inconvenience, to be circumvented by such Kafkaesque means as depositing unproven allegations into sealed files..." Another definition would be an existentialist state of ever-elusive freedom while existing under unmitigable control.

Hey i sound like what im talking about lol

Fat cat salaries are always seen as obscene but would you turn down that amount of money?

People just seem a touch jealous when they dont make the kind of salaries they think they should be earning - if you dont like your job or dont earn enough move to another job!

I do realise that most of the delay is for my own protection but I must admit it is becoming somewhat tedious trying to take a flight.

I agree its for our own protection - but surely they can speed the process up a bit - whay does it take so long
I guess its here to stay until they develop teleportation - Scotty beam me up
Steve,
Having two teenage daughters, and seeing the huge change in the world, I'm just hoping there is a future for the Historians to remember.

I used to insure a chap with the same outlook on the World, he refused to have children for fear of what he was bringing them in to
