      Rushing to the scene on their hoverboards, "A 17-year-old man was charged and was in possession of a licence which expired over 30 years ago", police said. "Investigations into the vehicle and what a flux capacitor is, are ongoing."

  5. Thoughts for those killed and injured 10 years ago today and their families.

  6. Sorry for the downtime this afternoon. A process hung during software maintenance and we couldn't get the server properly rebooted. Note to self - leave well alone on a Sunday!

      That's about right Mick! No wonder some people get ripped off for every email scam when they haven't got one scrap of common sense, the ability to read what's in front of them or follow a very simple instruction. Honestly, they're a danger to themselves and really shouldn't be on the 'net. grrrr.

  15. reduced the life cycle of Yellow Pages to the optimum today by taking it of the delivery bloke and putting it in the recycle bin at the end of the drive which was collected 5 mins later by the binmen. Job done.
