I'm not sure what I am more shocked about - the £4m or the fact that he did not physically destroy the disk before sending it to the dump

The old story of as soon as you get rid of it you find yew need it.
I'm a pack rat and I hate getting rid of stuff because 99% of the time that's what happens to me.

When I was a lot younger I had a friend who seriously didn't like throwing anything away - he would even keep the old brake pads from his motorcycle when he changed them.
Finally, his dad got fed up with the rubbish in the garage and made him chuck it all.
Want to guess what happened as he rode away the very next day? 
|
|
|
|

Exactly!
Now I'm kicking meself in the butt for all the baseball cards I threw away and used to make noise on my bike. I could of retired a lot earlier and with a lot more money in my pocket. Doh!

Where did he throw it all ? Shagged out brake pads ! Gimme gimme !

Thanks but Derek and Kevin have already started on the new web application. I realized that they were both single and had no plans for thanksukkah so I told them to come into the office and work.
New app should be up and running by Monday.

Lewis Collins[^] died.
I loved The Professionals when I was a kid.
He was also excellent in Jack the Ripper.
Only 67. Cancer sucks arse!

Damn, but that's sad. If I'm pottering around early in the morning, I sometimes watch the Professionals repeats on ITV 4. While it's weird watching old format programs on a widescreen HD system, it doesn't detract from the fact that they wrote some great stories.

It truly is a leveller.

It's not a "leveller", at all. It's reality.
There are no "levels". We're all 60-ish per cent water that's significantly dirtied by other substances, and we all pull our trousers on one leg at a time.
It's past time that people who think that being "famous", making money, and/or "owning" things makes humans special woke up to reality -- the world is an amazing place to visit, if you can get past all the stupidity that people try to apply to its surface.

I agree with just about everything you just said.
I don't do stuff.
Over the years most of my disposable income on travelling.
And I have travelled the world.
One thing I have learned is that people are the same all over the world.
Possessions make you poor, memories enrich you.
I buy the things I need, and yes, buy the best of those things that I can afford at the time, but I am not someone who buys crap because others have it.
I would rather travel.

Except the Chinese, of course; better just to kill them all so that the US won't have to pay its debts to China[^].

Cancer can go f* itself! With a rusty spike n'all.
I was at my brother's just now and that came on the radio. B* f* c*! He now takes it as a matter of pride when he out lives anyone<\I>. It is still awkward hearing noise like this when you're with someone who's on the list.
