Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Advances in Chivalry

It is customary in England, that should a damsel find her horse with a stone caught in its hoof, she should wait (in distress) by the side of the track/road for help to arrive.

Given advancing technology, and the changing requirements and pressures put on chivalrous types, is it any wonder Swissbit have devised an updated knife for when the damsel in question finds herself in a more contemporary predicament which could be played out in offices all over the world every day -the network has died meaning she cannot transfer the presentation from desktop to laptop, AND she has rather unfortunately also forgotten her laser pointer and pen. Given the potential brownie points (pun intended) for any desktop support type, it must seem like a dream come true. If only they did one with an in built microwave and fridge...
