Internet where have you gone

Hi to all.Many fall outs has occurred from the coronavirus and I hope that none of you are experiencing the bug, either yourself or you know someone who has. It is effecting everyone at some level from schools that has to close, to large events that have been cancelled. A lot of people have been told to work at home and companies are doing everything to help in this regards. As more people are working at home, means that the broadband will be under stress, as it was designed not to have too m

Rain stop play

HiNear where I live a lot of houses and businesses have been flooded as two major storms have hit the Calder Valley the last two weekends. This is the third time in 10 years that the Calder Valley has been flooded. The last two have been serious with many people been displaced, which is not a good feeling. The boxing day flood of 2015 caused serve damage, where in Mytholmroyd they experience water levels over 4m in height. This was and still is the highest level experienced. This is only 11 mil

Mobile woes

I know it has been a while since my last blog here at WA but I have had an experience that got my hopping mad and thinking at the same time. Yesterday I woke up as usual and tried to turn my mobile on, after charging overnight to find it had gone to the great mobile phone in the sky. No biggie as it was still in warranty but this is the beginning of the story.Let us go back two weeks where after a hard day blogging I decided to watch a YouTube on my phone and you guess it, it decided to kick t

Are you doing it wrong

HiIt comes a time on your life, when you wonder if everything you are told is correct or not. Have you been mislead or are you holding on to ways which are no long valid today.To demonstrate this I will use an example from chemistry, in particular the naming of elements. We all know that the English and Americans spell sulfur/sulphur different, as well as Aluminium/Aluminum. This caused confusion and the body responsible for the naming of elements, the International Union of Pure and Applied Ch

Why statistics do not reveal all.

HiI thought I would tell you a story for those of you obsessed with stats.There was a business man who was so scared that he would be blown in an airplane. He hired the best expert in the field to help solve this problem.One week went by and he heard nothing. Another week went and he still heard nothing. Finally, a week later the man came to his office, carrying a briefcase.The businessman asked "Why did you take this long?""Well it is a complicated problem and it took a lot of analyse from ma

How much is too much?

Hi to allFor all of you struggling to write content and the length of articles take heed from those who study for a PhD. I am talking about the UK process, elsewhere in the world the process will be different.Normally in the UK the PhD process takes 3 years of intensive research on something that furthers a certain aspect in your field of study. It could be small but it could be large and have pronounced affect on everybody lives. Most PhDs do not finish on time, due to the many things that

Be devoted

Hi to allIf lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, does not it follow that electricians can be delighted musicians denoted and disbanded, cowboys deranged, fashion models deposed, teachers declassified. Authors described, and doctors deciphered, while laundry workers can decrease eventually becoming depressed and depleted? Gardeners can be defenced, dictionary compliers demeaned and train-operators departed. Even more, bed-makers will be debunked, baseball players debased, and equestria

What love is?

Hi to allA boy was out walking where he sees a small bird that has fallen from its nest. He picks it up and with his hands he makes a nest to keep it from falling and doing damage to itself.But he does not make his hand into a cage, for he has no intention of possessing the bird or turning it into a pet. Having reassured the bird that it is in safe hands, and once it is nursed back to health, he slowly raises it up and up. Then, when the moment is right, he releases it. He rejoices when

Words of wisdom

HiI thought I will share some words of wisdom1) The journey of a thousand miles begin with a broken fan belt and a flat tyre. 2) Don't be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. 3) Always remember you are unique-just like everyone else. 4) Never test the depth of the water with both feet. 5) If you think nobody cares if you are alive, try missing two mortgage payments. 6) Before you criticise someone you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise the

Selling a horse?

HiHope you are all having a good day. For a change I will start with a joke. One day a man was walking in the British countryside, where he sees a farmer leading the most beautiful horse in the world. The horse was big, white and looked very healthy. The man stopped the farmer and asked if the horse is for sale. The farmer replied "No the horse is not for sale, as he is not looking well"." Nonsense, it is a fine specimen, I will pay £5000".The farmer said "No, I cannot accept your money,
