Windows XP

Eagerly checked my E-mail today. I was seriously disappointed that I had not had a reply from Microsoft regarding their incorrect decision to pull the plug on Windows XP. I thought that they might also allow me to use the full functionality of my copy of XP seeing as how it is now worthless, and can no longer be bought. In any case, my XP is a genuine copy. I don't have the disc anymore and my computer is now built into it's third case, so I can no longer prove otherwise..........Just release it for me you burks!!!!!!! aaaarrrrgh!!!!

Microsoft, bloody Microsoft

I visited Microsoft website today, and took the survey having utterly failed in my quest. I was always bound to fail because the software that I love to use and runs well and problem free is being chopped up for firewood - Windows XP is being phased out.
Listen to the Luddite I hear you say!
I do not like it when people force me to change things for no other reason than they want to make money out of me.
So I may have lost it slightly when I took the survey and I was asked if I thought there was anything that would improve the website, having pratted around in circles for half an hour..........

A simple list of available downloads, software and repairs, instead of trying to sell an upgrade that will most likely cause problems on my aging computer. Windows is supposed to be a tool to make the experience of using a computer better, instead I am being forced into an upgrade that I do not want, is not essential and will cost me time to set up. As a one man business trying to rush some work out this is nothing short of disastrous - Thanks a bunch Microsoft

To add insult to injury I was asked what level I went to with my education and the only thing that I could choose was 'some college work'
With several [7] successful patents in which I was named as 'inventor' and a couple of decades behind me running teams of design engineers, experience has been my highest qualification, not some frigging button on a survey!

Slippy roads - if you can find them!

The roads were a bit treacherous this morning - I know it is too late to warn anyone! I presume that the lack of gritting effort was in one way or another due to lack of cash, caused by the restrictions of our wonderful Government.
And just think of all the money we have saved in the Somerset levels by not dredging rivers. 
I think we did something about lower reaches of rivers silting up as the water speed drops, it causes the rivers eventually to run at a higher level than the surrounding ground, the water being held back by levees [raised banks] left to it's own devices the river will not be able to cope and eventually the land around it floods.
- Basic Geography!
I presume no one involved in the Environment agency did Geography at school, but unlike me they will have passed Economics!
 But never mind, the money saved can be put towards paying for the Dutch to come and rescue us with giant pipes and pumps.
