I moved house last Saturday, new place is at a much higher altitude. As a result, I awoke this morning to two inches of snow on everything, and no grit bins as the council haven't bothered their arses to put any in yet. Finally get onto the main roads after rescuing a Mazda 6 and Mini Cooper (why am I the only one with a snow shovel?!), drive down to work, and it's raining. Then have to explain why I'm 30 mins late ...
'On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.' - Charles Babbage
