I had cause to use Heathrow's new T5 this week, so I figured I'd write a few words about it from an engineer's point of view. I've given each category a score. more...
One man, one desk, one chainsaw
Travaglia, Simon. Carbon-based lifeform with more chainsaws than computers (and that's a lot of chainsaws). Lives in the middle of nowhere with a goat, a cat, a dog, chickens and cows. And writes BOFH.
