Questions For Microsoft

Why have your recent Windows 10 updates completely fucked up my wifi connection?

Why can't you leave things alone?

If something isn't broken, then don't fix it!

False Hope

Allow a man a few hours to bask in the sunshine of false hope, and come the night he will have a far better appreciation of the hopelessness of his situation.

They will only show us what they want us to see, and only tell their own people when they are ready to at a time that suits them not us!

Advice To Airlines and Holiday Companies Refusing Covid19 Refunds

If you want to treat bookings, cancelled because of covid19, as a loan (instead of refunding your customers, as you are meant to do) then you should offer to pay your customers interest on the payments they have made for the bookings cancelled.

You should also offer a legally binding guarantee, backed by escrow/third party etc, that if you go bankrupt before your customer redeems his/her enforced "loan" that you will repay the money in full if you go bankrupt!

Ironic that given they are clapping for the NHS, they are actually putting themselves at risk and potentially adding to the strain on the NHS.

Lockdowns Have a Limited Shelf Life

It is "ironic" that certain media organisations and "journalists" are screaming for an easing of the lockdown, given that these are the same people/organisations that are screaming that the lockdown was tardy.

Like it or not, lockdowns (ones that need the voluntary compliance of the population without them being shot or welded into their homes) have a limited shelf life.

Proper Journalists

The above photograph shows journalist from the past who didn't grandstand, promulgate their own political beliefs or try to talk/shout over the people they were interviewing.

Aside from a very small number of people, I wouldn't trust the current lot that "grace" our screens and social media to sit the right way on lavatory let alone perform as respectable true investigative journalists.

It is hardly surprising that the public's confidence in the media stands at minus 29%!

Advice To Journalists and Armchair "Experts" Re PPE

We are not the only country in the world experiencing shortages/distribution problems with PPE.

Oh, and by the way, it's called PPE not PPP as one journalist referred to it in yesterday's briefing!

Below is a thread listing SOME of the countries experiencing problems with PPE supplies.

Why is this?

BECAUSE IT'S A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, AND EVERY COUNTRY WANTS THE SAME PRODUCT IN VAST NUMBERS AT THE SAME TIME!

JOURNALISTS, ARMCHAIR "EXPERTS" AND PIERS MORGAN PLEASE READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTHS AGAIN!

Next thread:

What’s the situation with #PPE in other countries?

Let’s start with the US.

Here’s a report from March showing how short the States is of PPE:https://t.co/q8LWHvtfI5

Happy Easter

Here Comes The Long Easter Weekend!

It's the long (four day) Easter weekend...

Yay!

All together now:

Tra la la tra la la la
Tra la la tra la la la
Tra la la tra la la la
Tra la la tra la la la

One banana two banana three banana four
All bananas make a split so do many more
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Come along to bring you the banana splits show

Four banana three banana two banana one
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun
Flipping like a pancake popping like a cork
Fleagle bingo drooper and snork

Making up a mess of fun
Making up a mess of fun
Making up a mess of fun
Lots of fun for everyone

Four banana three banana two banana one
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun
Flipping like a pancake popping like a cork
Fleagle bingo drooper and snork

 

It's White Shoe Weather

Advice To People On Social Media

If you can't play nicely; then turn of your pcs, laptops and phones then go and do something more constructive!

Happy World Health Day!

Happy World Health Day!

Experts All!

 

It is truly impressive to see how many people on social media (not just journalists, Piers Morgan, politicians and those with an axe to grind) are now experts on:

- viruses
- pandemics
- supply chains
- logistics
- nudge theory
- political decision making
- sourcing medical equipment and medicines
- antigen tests and antibody tests
- statistics
- policing
- population control during emergencies etc

This is in fact all the more remarkable, given that a few weeks ago these very same people had to be given detailed instructions on how to wash their hands!

Here Comes The Weekend!

Well, well, well looky here the weekend is almost upon us!

Yay!
