Hi Steve,

Good to see that a sense of humour is still required to be in business.

I am a railway modeller and the age demographic is about the same as for engineering. There is a fair population of Grumpy Old Men in the business and hobby. I try not to be dragged down to the level of the GOMs.

Reality is reality, cant turn the tide back just have to ride the Tiger under neath us.

I wondered why I don't hear so much mooing these days, but it has been replaced with a fair amount of bleating.

Now if only we can encourage the lawyers, accountants and manager/bureaucrats to bugger off to the same place that the code jockeys have run to, then this end of the world will be a better place to live in.

It takes the same amount of energy to complain than it does to be positive about things.
But I must admit that having a good old grizzle about the unfairness of things can be curiously gratifying, for reasons I don't entirely understand.
Even nostalgia aint what it used to be.

Cheers

Steve

Not more buffalo hunters around the camp fire chanting "The herds are going to come back, the herds are going to come back. ..."

The herds have moved offshore and are alive and well living in Asia eating grass at one twentieth of the cost of western society!!
