Sigue Sigue Sputnik ?


iTunes fails again. No Sigue Sigue Sputnik dammit. I can't even find any on the torrents. All I want is a hit of '21st century boy' but I can't get it anywhere :-( If you have any of "Flaut It", specifically Love Missile F1-11 and 21st Century Boy, drop me a line....Mark...? Also - if you know what the font is that they used on the old album covers.....

Meanwhile the Scooby is back in business. I had the service guys baffled - fortunately it ground and buzzed when one of them was in the car with me. They now reckon it was the new pads they put on.

Really? Do carry on....

They think that because the new pads are metallic, they're "wearing in". They've put some guck on them to try to quiet them down a bit.

Amazing. I told them three times it was the new brake pads. And they finally came to the same conclusion. Anyone would think I know my car.

Sorry Chris

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r...

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On...
