I've had so many horrible experiences in that Post Office in Camden. I feel your pain, check out this link for another Camden Post Office tale of woe

How can one describe Gordon's doomed premiership more accurately than to join the crowd and revert to good old fashioned toilet humour, directly or obliquely?
I'd be tempted to feel sorry for him if he wasn't such a total shit.... oops, see what I mean.

Hello stranger.
Whenever I hear GB, I always hark back to that episode of the Simpsons when Bart became famous for saying "I didn't do it".
He was never there when it was done - except he was when he abolished the 10p tax rate for instance, and we weren't fooled by him turning up late for the Lisbon treaty-signing either. more…

Gone but not forgotten, the mighty Vort1gern bites the blog dust!
As The Stranglers once put it " but the money's no good ", which, if you're as talented a writer as this bloke makes blogging an eventual recipe for creative frustration.

Another brilliant blog bites the dust - er!
I will look forward to infrequent reads nevertheless, and don't worry about returning the favour or commenting on my blog because I hardly write anything these days and I don't read your blog in order to receive your comments on mine (you've always been quite ungraceful this way anyway :) and it do more…

That's a shame. A lot of bloggers seem to disappear of this site, and it means less people comment on mine. :no:

RB rots the innards period (ptp). Cure for tiredness?
More sleep/rest breaks would you believe.

Let's all raise a festive glass to breathtaking incompetence and the inescapable stranglehold of idiotic bureaucracy.
Glad your knee is becoming more knee-shaped. Nothing worse than a non-knee-shaped knee.
Incidently, Red Bull doesn't make you feel more awake - it just ensures you can't sleep, no matter now knackered you m more…

Well said Vorty!

" Just where I'm going I cannot say, I just hobble along from day to day "
...has always been a favorite motto of mine.
Somehow, personally, I feel that maybe having the distraction of the physical version of the legend might, in some small way, digress from the seemingly never-ending psychologically unbearable one.

That's a whole load of other posst on the subject. At least with the HMRC thing, if this latest botch is directly attributable to the costs cut-backs, then that trail leads directly to the then Chancellor, Gordon "Smirkin'" Brown.
So many have had their palms greased by the BHS IT botch up that it's probably nigh-on impossible to singl more…

Yes, I've said the best solution to a national IT project is to keep Ministers as far from it as possible.
I don't mind facebook, but you really have to be a plank to post stuff on there you wouldn't like people to see.
Sadly, the internet cannot be made ID 10 T proof (techie pun). Similar could be said for Parliament . . more…

What really got me spitting fur was him laughing and smirking at Quetion Time in Parliament.
It's like he's convinced it will just blow over in a week, provided there's enough spin doctoring thrown at the public.

You missed out the gigantic subterranean-caverned money sink hole that is the shambolic NHS IT project, V.
Cut-backs, close-downs and vital drug-denial on expense grounds, MRSA out of control, Bulls***ting consultants being shovelled pinkies by the shedload etc etc...but somehow govt. can find what's likely to end up £20 Billion for an more…

Yes - what price the security of a national ID card database now? But I can't help feeling that the people who were "shocked" by this revelation according to the lunchtime news are naive, to say the least. Pissed off I could understand - but not shocked. Government and IT are a bad combination on past records.
