Not quite, I'll forgive you, it seems as a mere BA, you haven't been exposed to much armed combat.

That it is actually me sharing bit of lead with the Butler who is bearing the shield, that's actually my mother cowering behind him.

You're obviously a braver man than me. Bringing up the subject of your own mother in General? Chapeau

For death in service?

Well it comes with benefits....

You've not seen a USB chainsaw, have you?

no, but now you've told me I can finally understand the merit of the "you can now safely unmount the hardware" thing in windows.

I'm no expert but surely a chainsaw would be more effective?

I saw some Panasonic ones more recently being used by a tree-felling company.

but you could drive a car/tank over them.

There are not a lot of small things that one could not drive a tank over...

One place I worked built a prototype PC inside an armoured metal suitcase for use under fire or whatever, which was quite interesting (I think overheating turned out to be an issue). There were also those rugged Dell laptops - do they still make those?

Coding under gunfire would certainly get you motivated.

Just in case, as you never know when that opportunity might come a knocking, I have invested in the following:-


A man with a gun to protect me:

OK. Let’s recap. Draw the gun from the holster, knock the safety catch off, there’s one in the chamber, and move and fire and move and fire and move and fire. The terrorist is disorientated from the stun grenades. He doesn’t know what’s going on. Remember the double-tap, bang, bang.

Lovely stuff.

A stylish waistcoat that just happens to double up as a bullet proof vest.

Death is quite life changing.
