Rick brings rubbish weather to Serre Chevalier

Rick might be the sunshine in the office after his nigh on 3,000km journey to Stoke and back, but he has also managed to bring some rather overcast weather with him, so it’s with a bitter sweet feeling that we see our leader back to work, despite bringing “Brown sauce” with him – what a nation England is, to have some form of food just called “brown” – genius.

It’s the penultimate day of the season, and it’s the missus’ turn today – she’s going freeriding with some people I was actively discouraged from going with, even she’s a bit apprehensive, they’ll probably being going through the trees, still she’s insured and has no helmet so maybe I’ll be getting that new computer after all.

Something else that cheered me up was a recent survey conducted by Cheapflights UK that seems to indicate there is not as much support for the new full body (destroys your DNA) scanners as claimed by security contractor Unisys, the company which supplies scanning and biometric equipment to airports (do you think they might have a dog in that fight?).

Cheapflights found 31% of those questioned would boycott the scanners, a far cry from Unisys’ claim 90% of people were fine with having their DNA ripped apart by radiation and their loved ones and children’s naked images being viewed and shared by strangers.

You might be able to guess which camp I’ll be in when the police state is unveiled, but if you’re undecided I found this article on Unisys the other day, which you might find interesting.
