The Devil Is In The Detail

The Devil Is In The Detail

The Devil Is In The Detail

This is frequently interpreted as meaning ‘..the hard work is to be found in the detail..’ but I have another perhaps more ‘devilish’ explanation for it, than that.

In the pursuit of attaining that ‘detail’, a certain character trait is allowed to emerge. You become single minded or myopic and forsake all others. You become irrational, short of temper and are prepared to even cheat if needs be, all in the name of ‘detail’. In fact YOU become a downright little Devil yourself…

So as opposed to thinking the Devil Is In The Detail, it should read The Devil Is In You When Pursuing The Detail.

Blue Screen of Death, otherwise known as BSoD, is a rather all to common occurrence with Windows based computers.

In essence, Windows decides things are getting a bit confusing and so shuts down ‘to prevent further damage’ without any notice or warning. This results in the total loss of any and all things open or not saved.

The Early Bird Catches The Worm

The Early Bird Catches The Worm

The Early Bird Catches The Worm

…or at least that is how the saying goes. However, I have a different take on that…

The Early Bird Pisses Off The Neighbours!

How early is early? Is 7am to be considered early, is before sunrise early or is 4:45am early? Needless to say ‘early’ is a relative term but no matter your reference point, 4:45am IS EARLY!

No Character, No Culture.., No Soul

Have you ever been somewhere or met someone and instantly felt zero connection? Nada… Zip…! Absolutely no connection, no empathy, not an emotional twinge what so ever.

When is Rape, Not Rape?

May 12th, 2009

When the NRL is involved, that’s when!

The ABC network’s flagship current affairs program ‘Four Corners’ broadcast last night, covered the endemic problem of gang rape (or rather ‘female abuse’ in ABC speak) in the Australian NRL. The one hour program was an absolute draw dropper for all the wrong reasons!

not the father of surfing..?

The Irish did what..?

A very learned friend of mine assures me that it is not the Hawaiians nor the Australians who deserve the credit for inventing or discovering ‘surfing’ as we know it today, but rather the Irish!
