And Then An Update…

   And that would be a third party update that, it seems, unplugged the World from the Interweb. It seems this little update only effected Billy at the Window kit and I must say it’s nice to see Billy suffering wot he occasionally inflicts on us down here with his fiddling.
   Is it something to do with that cloud thingy? I must say I’ve never understood why folk would elect to keep so much sensitive and personal information on a cloud. Just one naughty rainy day and all that info could pour down to naughty folks kit could it not?
   It should also be a wakeup call to those wot would rule over us regards going cashless and demanding digital I.D. Cards an’ such. Remember so many folk saying wot could possibly go wrong? A couple of daze ago should be a clue eh?
   Anyhoo, on a sad note, I’m sure y’all will join with me in wishing Head Rambles the very best wishes for a happy outcome regards his upcoming medical procedure. Good luck to you.
Finally, via a comment on Going Postal, I ran into this old number. Man, that took me back. You old enough to remember that? The commenters note ‘linked’ it to the ongoing palaver regards ol’ Joe be-gone over the water.

I'd like to add my good wishes to yours for Grandad and his family.

I remember that song well. And the B side :) My grandmother used to sing it in a voice akin to Hilda Ogden whilst she went about her chores. A wonder to behold!

Anonymous Waif,
Yes, hard times for Grandad but I'm sure he will pull through.
That song sure stired many a memory in my old head as well.
