  1. I stayed late to do some marking tonight. On emerging from the office I
    discovered that one of the proto-human denizens of Lincoln had removed my
    rear light (B&M Seculite+), smashing the bracket and cutting the wires in
    the process.

    Bah. A DToplight+ and a hopefully more chav-resistant seatbolt mounting is
    now on order from Ben at Kinetics. My wallet is 30 notes the lighter. Bah I
    say!

    Regards,

    ObBrighterNote: Yesterday. Delightful cycling weather, if a little cold on
    the paws at first.

    Criminal _and_ stupid - he's got no chance in life. Put 'im down and get a
    hard working economic migrant in his place.

    Mark.

    An excellent suggestion.

    Perhaps you should put it to Mr Howard, as his answer would be most
    interesting.

    I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
    prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

    Could you not take the bike inside after hours?

    Yes, I will in future, though until now I had much faith in the fixie being
    relatively unattractive to thieving buggers. So it goes.

    Unlike listening to Tom Jones. That may be cruel but it's not unusual.

    You're a marked man after that. I'm *sure* the Hague convention bans
    such puns.

    Mark.

    I work with a couple of indian immigrants who are fresh to these
    shores. They work on my nightshift. They're a couple of nice blokes
    but hard working not really. Only average to below average I would
    say. The worse thing is they're always taking sickies even if its
    other people sick like their wives or children. They are also very
    clued up with regard benefits etc not that they can apply for many at
    the moment as they aren't british citizens yet. They are both deeply
    religious christians and believe basically tsunami victims had it
    coming (they persecuted christians apparently) and similar sentiments
    regarding the jewish holocaust. Thing that annoys me is their total
    disregard for animal welfare which is view opposite to mine. Its not a
    comment on general immigration but I think some will be surprised how
    some immigrants are as it was an eye opener for me. I suppose the
    lesson is just like anything you have to take individuals on their own
    individual merit. I mentioned to one of them back along about his wife
    driving the car and him as a passenger and the idea to him was quite
    insulting. I'm not sure why this was as both of their wives work in a
    hospital and earn considerably more than them and they are quite
    comfortable with that it seems.

    Weird. That's not a Christian belief.

    These two don't sound like the sort of people I'd do a swapsy for. Still,
    at least if their wives are working they won't be claiming much in the way
    of benefits.

    Unfortunately my whole 'swap scum for hardworking taxpayers' idea falls
    down 'cos no country would want our scum. Fortunately the people that come
    over as economic migrants tend to be from amongst the more educated, better
    off sections of their society anyway. Funny accents, weird culture and
    different attitudes aside, they're generally top rate. Well, top half
    anyway.

    I've got a convention now? Cool!

    But banning puns? Nope, must be some other Hague then. Curses, foiled
    again! :-)
