Small news Tidbits from the Troll's lair.... and a 357 magnum!!!!!

Well hello again...

Not much of an amusing nature has passed by the world of Troll today but here is a note or two that might interest...well... someone

First off the old man is retiring after 30 years in the company and nearly 45 years in the industry but somehow i think he'll still be running around the office as a consultant... damn it he doesn't look a day over 40 and still races motorcycles, runs 10 km's a day and is generally fit and healthy... bloody 'ell i can only hope i can maintain myself as well as that... must remember to not beat myself over the head too often with a club...

Secondly, I am a nerd... Imagine if you will a being similar to the LOTR cave troll with banged up 'Buddy Holly' Style glasses a truly 'orrible cardigan with snout pressed against a computer screen absent mindedly knawing half a hobbit. (I look nothing like that but the imagery is true... make of that what you will) I say this because just yesterday I purchased a few new parts for my pc and i had to wear a bib to stop the overexcited dribble landing on them... oh well i have an uber pc now so all is good.

Yesterday in history marked the anniversary of the start of one of the greatest ever, most daunting and most neccesary military invasions in history. Operation Overlord of World War II began with the moving of the Allied troops to the beaches of Normandy to begin the invasion into nazi occupied europe. To all those soldiers i say thank you for your dedication and your sacrifices to all of us. May you rest in paradise as the true nature of heroes and may we never forget the lessons that history has to teach us.

And finally I am to be presented with a present from my soon to be mother in law in the shape of a beautifully conditioned .357 Magnum revolver with a 4" barrel. It just requires a little work to the stocks and sight but otherwise in immaculate condition and is also a very neccessary piece of survival equipment in modern south africa but that will be for a later post.

I'm now going to grab some coffee and try to make sense of work while having improbable daydreams of gun mounted computers...
