Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

Bosses who won't listen.

I've uncovered a major flaw in our works computer system where, if someone was inclined, they could go in and makes all the information 'disappear'. Basically the permission levels are a mess and need sorting.

Go to the boss who says "it's not a problem cos I can see the log of who changes things so if anyone tries anything then we'll know" and repeatedly missing the fundamental point that the whole issue is prevention. A log of who did it isn't going to be worth much when you've lost 15 years of data.

I don't even work in IT and even I can see that protecting your data and.preventing something like this with an hours work is preferable to the consequences.

People saying 'anyways' when they mean 'anyway'. Worse if a non-American does it. I need to chill out a bit.

I don't remember what it was called but there is a very interesting book that pulls back the curtain on a lot of the Beatles American success, and confirms that a lot of the airport frenzies were staged etc. Be under no illusion, the Beatles didn't get that big that fast without some strings being pulled.

I think for anything that 'big' there are always theories and books that go against the grain and try to prove something that isn't there.

There's nothing in the videos of the Kennedy airport arrival that look staged, the CBS news report that started the US Beatlemania is a standard dry news piece typical of the era and they had already sold millions of records in the two weeks prior to their arrival. It seems unlikely that the Beatles management would even need to stage a few thousand fans turning up at the airport.

Beatlemania wasn't a manufactured thing. They were at the right place at the right time, but the Beatles success is largely simply down to the fact that they wrote songs that lots of people of all generations loved and they looked and sounded different to anything else at the time.

"Stop hitting me! If you kill me, there's no way I'm sitting through that cut scene again!" Yeah, I know what you mean.

82 posts here. Christ.

83: Sellers not refunding return postage on eBay. I don't see why I should be out of pocket because some American chancer has resealed second-hand stock from their local shop and fraudulently sold it on eBay as "Like New".
