You'll find yourself replacing everything every two years, and pouring money into the coughers of corporations.

Then you die and they put you in a coughin'...

Especially when they're a university, trying to sell you a Master's in IT with a strong emphasis on Web development...

Just wipe the SHIT across the other naughty words on your screen.

I hope for their sake that the Scunthorpe problem has been resolved...

...you find yourself stuck with IE6 on XP, and installing Firefox is a sackable offence.

I've got a couple of reams of paper that you can put under it if you like...

You can tell when my projects are going badly by the proliferation of modular origami balls...

...and here was me thinking the editors had no shame...

Arrive from Free World on filthy A340
Get into strange bus
Do common-criminal fingerprinting BS
Collect bag (W)
Wheel bag past completely uninterested Customs agent (T)
Dump bag (F?)
Freedom Feel
Get into strange bus
Leave on connecting flight - except it's United and they broke it.

CPH-IAD, even. They're all starting to blur into each other....
