More victims of the rush to demolition…
Watching Brownlee on the TV the other night, I noticed he was standing in front of a partially destroyed multi-storey building somewhere, and revealed was some poor firm's file room, shelves of folders, which were all about to be pulled into the rubble – how many medical records, legal records like wills, etc, client contacts, contracts, and histories have been irrevocably lost – the flow-on effect of that is huge and will impact for years to come… and I’m sure many of them could have been retrieved with a little less haste, what happened to the Government’s duty of care? -

The fruits of science...
I wonder if Fairfax are ruing moving so rapidly to hubbing their production and putting all their eggs in the one basket...
No paper today in many centres!
I wonder if they have a Siemens server?
(and who they might've pissed off recently...)
Swan Vesta...
Are NASA getting a tad blasé? I think it was sad that no-one monitored the orbital insertion of their spacecraft Dawn around asteroid Vesta .

Worthy of St Richie, it's all about the breakdown
- and coincidentally, Wikipedia notes that...The town’s name derives from that of an early, semi-legendary martyr named Saint Torpes. His legend states that he was beheaded at Pisa during the reign of Nero, and that his body was placed in a rotten boat with a rooster and a dog. The body landed at the present-day location of the town.
..to think they missed the chance to call the town Coq et Chien en Pourri Bateau avec Cadavre sans Tete, I bet the Welsh would've...
