but we're just doing small scale RSA which still isn't very easy

I know what you mean. A few years ago the firm I worked for were doing something with secure document storage for a company mergers and acquisitions system. I understood not word one of how to implement it.

2 moans today....

First one is bloody customers who cancel at the last possible minute.... I'm a landscaper and I have very little work on at this time of year so I really need all the work I can get. Nothing is booked in for next week so the 2 jobs I had for today and tomorrow were really needed. BUT they both cancelled saying they can't really afford it til after the new year!! Fair enough, but why cancel at 7pm the night before......

Second is bloody royal mail and their ridiculous delivery times.... I'm getting frustrated waiting for my NUMS order which was shipped on saturday and should by rights be here by now!! Bloody post office..... someone needs to infest the water coolers with amphetamines or something lol... get things moving quicker!!

Ha. I remember that Dad's Army episode where they're complaining about the *second* post being late! The second post! During the war! The Royal Mail have a lot to answer for...

mind you, better than when I was india, and chances are you will just never receive your post if it looks at all valuable

Get the dose right and it would certainly preclude any, erm, "onanistic" tendencies on their part - in more ways than one!

Bloody trains

I got a moan too. I was at luton today, town not airport. Bloody train sat there for 20 minutes because of some kinda signaling problem. Not only that some people was saying the train was northbound to Bedford and others was saying it was south bound to kings cross, luckly it was and it cost me £11.20 e/w becuase you can't get a return from london to luton for some reason or the other?!

My uncle David built a model rail way and all the trains use to run on time on that. And it didnt cost £11.20 each way either.

And then you get a bus in london its £1.50 ago. you cant get a seat its full of little brats runing up and down and shouting.


The other week one of them road side ticket machines took 3 quid of me god dam it.

dont get me started on the congestion charge!!

my latest gripe is Russell Brand...

he's really getting up my hooter recently..i had the misfortune of sitting through his half hour "chat show"...a spoonerism if ever i saw one...

he's as much cock-er-ney as Damon Albarn and Dick Van Dyke (mauri parpens)...

rubbish banter, couldnt interview to save his life and quite frankly im getting a little bored of his high pitched kenneth williams/victorian grumbleduke whining...

"oh, but i's every soooo 'umble about meee heroin addiction ain't's i?!"

fool of a took!

yes i could of turned over, but there was promise of Amy Winehouse singing live...and he cunningly kept her til the end...

I can't watch Brand at all.

Tell you what really gets me about telly these days. This insistence on shaking the bloody camera around. I mean, how many of you have ever held a video camera? It's not only not difficult to hold it still, is it. It's actually quite difficult to wobble it about like that. There are so many programmes I can't watch because they make my eyes tired trying to fix on anything. "The Thick Of It" for instance, so I'm told, is superb, but all this zooming in and out, jerking the camera about, and so on don't make it look like an a real person in the room, it just makes it totally unwatchable.

I'm still peeved with royal mail... still no order

not even a drunk person? though i suppose it would have to lose focus occasionally, then randomly zoom in on some breasts or invertly, a pointless object....by the way, that guy that was in it -he's been nicked now hasn't he?

I'm also mildly irritated that i've ordered two of those Patrick G.Redford books from Alakazam and they are following "shortly"....i know, i know, i've been spoilt by the fast delivery from them, but even so...i want to get my jammy mitts on them pronto...

Chris Langham. He's [allegedly] turned out to be quite the wrong 'un, though as he's still to come to trial, it has to remain allegedly.

Yeah, the irony is that if you add "in the thick of it" and "help" together, that's probably what's running through his head right now...

and he wrote some the the muppets too didnt he...strange old behaviour eh...

I just got all excited I did..... there was a ding dong on the doorbell and outside was a royal mail van..... I thought yes, at last my order is here........

Alas, t'was not to be!! It was just the bloody business cards for the band!!

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... I want my magic!!

According to Teletext at lunchtime, Russell Brand has been voted second in the Arena magazine list of those who don't deserve celebrity status. 'Troubled Babyshables rocker' Pete Doherty was at number one, third was Sayed Ahmed, the guy off 'The Apprentice' and fourth was David Cameron, alleged leader of the Tory Party. I must admit it seems a bit harsh to lump Sayed Ahmed with the others .

Sayed was a shyster though wasnt he...he deserved the job the most...

Ooooh i especially despise Doherty too...yes mate, of course you're a poet...Chas n Dave have sung more eloquently than you...(they have honestly)...

Whose David Cameron? didnt he direct Aliens 2?

I'm not getting back the 700quid the uni decided to steal from my juggling society. goddamit!!!!
