Exactly. If they had been able to give me the thing for a couple of weeks I might have been able to sort it. (Might - bearing in mind I didn't have access to the source code.) But people would have suffered and possibly died.

Believe me, I b*tched about it - I had to build connectivity to the bloomin' thing to extract data for management reports! Upgrades had been tried, but had all failed, and losing the x-ray machine for a few days to try to fix it was not going to fly.

I spent 8 years working in NHS IT, and... yes... but also... it's complicated - e.g. in one case, it was the only OS which the software that ran the x-ray machine would run on. What was the trust supposed to do? Bin a perfectly good x-ray machine?

Was a massive fan at the time but looking back feels like Rio is an album that contains great songs (Rio, Hungry Like the Wolf, New Religion) rather than a great album. (Realise that you can probably say this about a lot of albumsā€¦ and Iā€™m sure your replies are full of them!)

Think there is still quite a lot of ā€œIf they werenā€™t guilty, then why did the police fit them up?ā€ inā€¦ erā€¦ certain demographics.

Every Friday/ Saturday? Or just those ones at the start of September? Were those the last few days of the school summer holidays?
