Saturday Night’s Alright for Blogging

Saturday Night’s Alright for Blogging

It’s getting late have you seen my mates
All I see is the Internet ghosts
It’s seven o’clock and I want to blog
Want to get a WordPress full of posts

My mind is drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my fat cat she don’t purr
My web site looks cute with Lolcats in boots
A handful of grease in their fur

Don’t give me none of your aggravation
I’ve had it with your discipline
Saturday night’s alright for blogging
Get a little writing in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set the ‘Net alight
‘Cause Saturday night’s the night I like
Saturday night’s alright, alright, alright

Well they’re packed pretty tight on the web tonight
I’m looking for a lurker who’ll see me right
I may use a little language to get what I need
I may leak a little rumour and tweet out “Follow me!”

And one of the sounds that I really like
Is the sound of a counter that’s clicking right
I’m a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats at the bottom of a glass

Don’t give me none of your aggravation
I’ve had it with your discipline
Saturday night’s alright for blogging
Get a little writing in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set the ‘Net alight
‘Cause Saturday night’s the night I like
Saturday night’s alright, alright, alright

With the most sincere apology to Sir Elton John and Mr. Bernie Taupin, who once proclaimed that Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting.

Mighty Mouse

No trouble to be found

when you hear its mighty sound.

Here it comes to save your day!

One and only Mighty Mouse gives you your way!

Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right,

Mighty Mouse at the speed of light!

On the desk or in a stand,

it’s got the situation well in hand.

We know that when there’s challenge, we’ll never despair;

Because we know that when there’s challenge it is there

On the desk, in its stand, everywhere.

We’re not worrying one bit.

We just listen for its click.

Here it comes to save your day.

One and only Mighty Mouse gives you your way!

When there is a wrong to right,

Mighty Mouse at the speed of light!

Here it comes to save your day.

One and only Mighty Mouse gives you your way!

That’s right! The new Open Office Mighty Mouse with its 18 programmable mouse buttons, each with its own double-click functionality, a clickable scroll wheel, 512K of flash memory, 63 on-mouse application profiles, and 1024-character macro support is the mightiest mouse of all!

Talk About a Supply Chain De-Railment!

When I saw this article over on BBC News that Trains ‘too costly’ for rail firm, I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry. If you were truly running an efficient rail line, than rail travel should be a cheaper option for your employees than road transport!

But for Network Rail, who own and operate Britain’s rail infrastructure, it’s cheaper to transport 200 staff by coach from Reading to Coventry for a conference — £24,000 cheaper! This tells me that either they are doing a very poor job of cost control, there is a disconnect between operations and sales (who would set the pricing), or government muddling is preventing efficient pricing and operations. (Why can’t workers travel at cost when the trip is related to their job? Do you think an airline who has to fly a pilot from point A to point B charges itself retail for the privilege?)

Your thoughts?
