Armagedden Avoided

What kind of Rock is never delivered on time?

Slate

FTSE is up, Exports Up, Government borrowing down.  Mortgage rate down. Crisis over.

Can we now get back to geeking now?

 

While you were all enjoying yourself in Chicago I decided that I couldnt watch enviously from a wet, slightly miserably Post Brexit Vote UK, so headed off to our Villa in Portugal.  It struck me while I was there that I could work anywhere in the World (even in the Europe!), and I didnt need a cloud to make it happen.  Just good ole fashioned RDP (or Jump for the Applers).

So, dont feel down about not be able to move to the cloud (for security, costs etc reasons), just move to Sunny Portugal and remote to the world.

My Mate cant pronounce the letter ‘S’ when he talks about fruit.

He says its his Peach impediment.
