Data Privacy and Security
We've all heard the stories over the last year about companies and government departments losing sensitive personal data because they didn't secure either it or the device it was stored on. The loss of data has many negative affects with a loss of confidence in the organisation responsible possibly the least damaging.I capture and store data on a daily basis so I can effectively do my job. I comply with the requirements of the Data Protection Act but the purposes for which I use the data I coll...

Where's My Free Ticket?
London will host the Olympic Games in 2012. As a tax payer I am expected to foot the bill for this two week commercial sporting event. Londoners will have to pay even more through additional charges levied on them through their council tax.The cost to the public through taxation is presently estimated at £9.5 billion. Reliable reports from people close to the bidding and financing process have openly admitted that the real figure will be much higher than this, possibly as high as £20 billion....

Dangling Carrots
Dangling a carrot in front of me then pulling it away when I'm about to take a bite is never going to impress me. When you're stuck at 3am and nobody else wants to know you can bet your back teeth I'll remember your carrot dangling trick well before I remember why you was waving it in front of me.I've been in the motor trade a long time and I'm used to people dangling carrots. These days though I'm more than wise to the various ways of tying one to a piece of string and dangling it in front of...

Customer Aftercare Service
I provide my customers with a complete 24 hour, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year emergency aftercare service. I do this because it's the right thing to do. If a vehicle that I exclusively maintain* has a problem then I'll either make myself available to look at it here or I'll turn out to it if you can't get it here whatever time of the day or night it is. This aftercare service extends to providing advice and guidance when you need it or arranging a recovery after you've had a car accident.Wha...

Pride of York Ferry
Now the weather is improving Debbie and I have been out and about with the camera again. We decided to pop along to King George Dock in Kingston upon Hull and watch the P&O Ferries vessel Pride of York leave the dock on its journey across the North Sea to Zeebrugge in Belgium.When the Pride of York is in Hull it spends the day moored in King George Dock which isn't accessible to the public.

"Piss off back to your posh area and isn't it time you proposed so I can get rid of her?". Not what you expect from your future father-in-law but he'd had a couple of cans apparently and I'm used to making allowances for Ian. It's not his fault I tell myself regularly, he was born like it according to Debbie's mum Ellen. At least you've got your sense of humour Ian, you're going to need it for the wedding speech!But it's not just Ian giving me grief at the moment, it's every one of my mates w...

Smoking Ban - A Reminder
As you're probably aware I enjoy participating in the perfectly legal and enjoyable pass time of having a cigarette or two. By doing so I'm contributing to the NHS, schools, public transport and Iraq through the 89% tax charged on each packet I buy.Like most smokers I've never encouraged anybody to start smoking or to continue smoking and that includes inhaling the smoke which emits from the end of my cigarettes; the door's always open and they are always welcome to leave.As is normal with this...

Flooding in Willerby, East Yorkshire
I've lived in Willerby, East Riding of Yorkshire for over 30 years. Willerby lies on highish ground compared to Kingston upon Hull and therefore I thought we were immune to flooding. How wrong I was!A torrent of water, coming from higher ground, worked its way down Kingston Road and entered many of the side streets, including mine seeking out lower ground. For much of today the road and many gardens have been under water. Fortunately the house was not affected but a few neighbours have spent...

Fry Family Genealogy Wiki
Today I've launched the beta version of the Fry Family Genealogy Wiki. The Wiki is the first part of a new portal system I'm currently developing codenamed Project FryGen.Project FryGen was conceived from weaknesses I've experienced whilst carrying out my own family history research. Many one-name family history resources suffer because they are often fragmented, do not benefit from modern software solutions and don't have the backing of expert web developers and web servers. In a lot of cas...

They Really Should Know Better
I've been around long enough to have seen some eye opening events in the motor trade. Some were minor and some were damn right dangerous. Some revealed a lack of competence, some pure laziness and a number revealed the mechanic just hadn't moved with the times, unlike automotive technology.When you pay good money to have your vehicle repaired by a professional mechanic you expect the repair work to be completed correctly and in accordance with the recommendations published by the vehicle's manuf...

Sadly, the Megabowl is no longer here but Debbie is and by heck do I know about it.Following two years of daily pain, suffering and torture I feel the need to seek some redress so I'm going to post a series of photos taken over the past two years to show just what I've had to put up with.And the future isn't bright.
