h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I sent a bit of mail, mate..

Take your time in answering,no need to hurry.

Keep safe and warm...

And again, better luck on ROW.

got it

think of "hackers" another way How many are government ones ? and also many caught hackers are then employed by security firms etcto aid their companies ie: selling security products etc

Oh, understood.

It's the cyberspace version of criminals using their talents to get legitimate employment--burglars getting hired by alarm companies, etc.
As for govt. spying by computer, that's been everywhere for a very long time.

Most of us can only hope that cyber warriors don't impinge to much on our personal space, simple conversation by phone, our emails, and the other things we like to keep private.

old sayings =
1..big brother is watching.
2..If you've nothing to hide, then so what
3.. protection for the masses
4.. invasion of privacy
5.. keep an eye of/for terrorists
6.. make money buy selling secrets

the list is endless

I actually don't care whose "watching/recording me" I'll say/do whatever I want and when I want - what you see is what you getnoticed or un-noticed, always has been and always will be

Fair enough,mate.

Being worried and angry doesn't slow 'em down anyway.

I take it that you're alright. How's your next door RL friend doing?? Is he still with us?
Have you had any contact from your old Buffalo Lodge mates??

Spoke with Lil this eveningall ok on their side of the Pennines
next door - not a lot to say - still under doc's etc - can't say more here
lodge - I see one "who I thought was a close friend" now and again round local shop area - but as per - conversation from him is zero (no skill in general issues etc) no loss!

Well, it's good to hear that Lil is doing better.
I wish you good luck as always with the lotto draw tomorrow.

The future is not about next week, next month, next year and onwards, it happens in the next second...

A few seconds ago after checking some numbers I'm still poor - some bloody future eh!

You're right about the future. of course, which is why a lot of folk say we should focus on the present. Thar is what my group therapy leaders say. Hard to do, though.

"message" received and your wishes will be passed on

Thanks mate!!

thunderball lottery = I did a set of "lucky numbers- computer draws them" = 6-19-30-35-39
them pulled 3-5-18-31-36 - it would have only been £100 win, but better than a kick in the teeth

I still don't know how you do it...

How's all else, mate?? It's still "cold" and damp here.

this morning I woke to a good ground frost rain gonebut next few days sky clear but gonna be bloody cold

added info U.S mail-man calling in about a week and half ?

Okay, mate.

We're lucky I guess. We've shelter and blankets at least. There are folk who have neither.

I was brought up, that there's always someone worse off than you are.
I've seen that over the years and actually! In the last 40 odd year nothing has really changed it's still status quo, no matter how "they say - We'll make the world a better place"

Heading for the pillow mate ok

As always - be safe and be well

and I'll "see" you later

Cheers, mate.

See you soon.

It's survive or knuckle under I don't bow to anyone!

There's a saying "some of us older Yorkshire have" (not the young'uns nowadays)

"The only way to keep a Yorkshireman down, is to plant 'im 6ft under and THEN he'll still fait back"

fait = fight
