Fine one am I to talk, but perhaps the advice also applies to the adults?

Napoleonic, Crimean and First World War Debt to be paid 31st October 2014 2:01 PM How's that for a long standing debt! Cracking story about how the Government is paying off some of the remaining £2bn First World War Debt, plus some debt which goes back to the Napoleonic and Crimean wars! The government is going to buy back part of the debt by redeeming bonds first issued during the First World War by Chancellor Winston Churchill Maybe in 90 years our great grand kids will hear how the Government has paid off the 2008 recession debt, plus a few years worth of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan Pub Sign Sarcasm 31st October 2014 1:46 PM Saw this on Facebook and made me chuckle
Fed up with HP laptops, anyone tried a Lenovo? 31st October 2014 11:44 AM Historically, over the last 10 years we've always used HP laptops in the office. For us they have been a combination of quality, reliability, performance and price. Until about 3 years ago, from when we have been plagued with problems, poor quality, failing batteries, laptops dying after 2 years. To the point we've had enough and no more HP! So I've just ordered a Lenovo Flex2 15 inch for a new starter which should turn up next week, so I'm hoping that goes down well (other than having Windows 8 I now need to order another lappie as Clive's HP is currently on life-support! Many moons ago I used to use IBM Thinkpads before they were sold off to Lenovo. I always liked them, but they were a bit pricey. Lenovo prices seem to be more reasonable, I just wonder if they have maintained the old IBM build quality and reliability? Does anyone use any Lenovo products or have any experience with them? Any problems, issues, feedback? .uk domains - will you move to one? 31st October 2014 10:41 AM
“Sorry for the rant but give the little guy a chance!”
With automatic rights going to .co.uk owners it does make you wonder what is the point of the .uk as most decent names are already taken, so adding a new domain extension doesn't actually free up any more names? At least for the next couple of years. Stop playing online games and go outside and play! 31st October 2014 10:35 AM Our internet connectivity is crawling in the office and at home. I'm convinced it's because it's halfterm and all the kids are sat in their bedrooms playing online games and using all our bandwidth Or the Warwickshire broadband network is creaking even more than it does normally! Dear Santa, can you lay some fibre to our office... Anyone else struggling is it just the Alcester/Stratford Upon Avon region? Company Liquidations are down 11.7% 30th October 2014 10:57 AM Maybe some good news for once? It seems the number UK companies getting liquidated or going into administration are down along with the number of people becoming insolvent, compared to the same time last year. Figures from the Govt National Statistics: Companies

Apparently the rate of company liquidations is the lowest since records began in 1984. In post a Armageddon world - psychopaths would help to keep order 30th October 2014 10:40 AM I love it when the BBC dig up government files from recent living memory. In this case it's 1982 and the files are from a Home Office exercise testing how the UK would cope after a Nuclear Attack. Remember the advice from years ago, hide under the kitchen table Well if you survived, it seems one of the civil servants, Jane Hogg had an idea to recruit psychopaths to help keep order: "It is... generally accepted that around 1% of the population are psychopaths," she wrote. "These are the people who could be expected to show no psychological effects in the communities which have suffered the severest losses." Hogg suggested psychopaths would be "very good in crises" as "they have no feelings for others, nor moral code, and tend to be very intelligent and logical". lol brilliant, it seems some of her colleagues were understandably unconvinced. Apparently the exercise was the inspiration for the BBC Drama "Threads" which closely resembled the exercise plot. The BBC Article is called The nuclear attack on the UK that never happened, lets hope it stays that way in this post cold war but fruit cake invested world we live in! Romania may vote on an important decision. 30th October 2014 10:21 AM I hadn't heard about this.
