1st thing... yesterdays one...

our firm has a gritting contract, so i get up at effing early o'clock , and set off up the m1 to the frozen wastes of sheffield.. thru the 22 odd miles of narrow lane 50 limit cos apparently someone is storing cones there, its ok, they are behind large concrete barriers.... i do the gritting, and head south... now, this return journey takes 90 mins, including a stop off near nottingham to do a small car park... but it took 2 hrs... why??, i hear you all yell... because some tit broke down almost within sight of the end of the 22 miles of narrow lane...and even though it was downhill, and they were right next to one of those gaps in the barrier for lorries to get in & out, so they could have safely waited for rescue... NO, they stopped dead in lane1... thanks for that, you ungrateful get.....

today.

I was born within 2 miles of the site of the battle of bosworth, where Richard III died. for the last 20 odd years, i've been regularly doing building work at the battle centre. its a nice place, miles of woodland walks, a decent cafe, and if you want, a museum. they are planning a long funeral procession as part of the reburial of Richard III. they are holding a memorial service at the centre in a couple of weeks, and are selling 2000 tickets on a 1st come 1st serve basis... sales are either on-line, in person, or over the phone, according to the press release... my eldest daughter was off from college today, so she offered to go & queue. so at 8.30am she got there. 5th in the line, feeling pretty confident.... then 10am came, when the sales started.. and this is the WPYOT

the ar$ehole IT people at Leicestershire county council arranged the sales thus: all sales are to be processed on-line. a woman was on the ticket desk, with a pc, and was to process orders using the same setup as internet buyers... oh, and another woman was sat next to the phone, with a pc, and was expected to also go on-line to process the orders.... so 1st people got their tickets & the website crashed properly. it sporadically worked thru the day, and at 3:30 my daughter left without tickets, and was told to keep an eye on the interweb to see if the site comes back to life.....

can the techy people on here explain to me in simple terms just how useless these IT people are......... 2000 tickets FFS, its hardly london 2012, or a one dire-erection tour, they couldn't even put a couple of hundred by for face to face sales....
