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!

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.

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

Could you not take the bike inside after hours?

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.
