    Mark E Smith according to Beeb (Breaking news).

    Not really a fan of The Fall. He looked not well.

    RIP Edward

    He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

        Mary Lee Berners-Lee: Computer scientist who became one of the world’s first freelance programmers in the 1950s.
        "She led a successful campaign at Ferranti for equal pay for male and female programmers, almost two decades before the Equal Pay Act came into force. As a young mother in the mid-1950s she set up on her own as a home-based software consultant, making her one of the world’s first freelance programmers.

        …After the birth of her first child in 1955, Mary Lee turned to what she called “cottage industry” programming, writing programs at home to track weather balloons for the Air Ministry and to solve problems of “bus-bunching” for London Transport, among others."

        She may not have been quite as well known as her eldest son, who made this thing you're reading this stuff on, but as possibly the UK's first IT contractor managing to WFH for some pretty high-profile clients, I think she deserves a mention on here

            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood."
