Daily writing prompt

Write about your first computer.

View all responses

I think it shows a lack of interest in technology, but I really can’t remember my first computer. To me it is a tool. I seem to remember a lot of IT departments whose support varied and were regarded as God Like if successful or as reliable as “Mystic Meg” if not.

Advice to turn it off and back on and check the printer is plugged in became second nature and listening to the bored support assistant at the end of the phone resetting your password for the fifth time in a week was to be avoided

.” Yes, perhaps I am stupid , but this is not what I want to be spending my whole day doing, you felt like saying but never would.”

What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

View all responses

I’m most scared to do algorithms, am I right? I don’t know. To be a computer programme generating all this stuff, sending out the same questions once a year , just to fill time. Not really caring what the answers are, but building a database of information to be regurgitated in a nano-second to help users with their website. What would it take me to do it , probably money, it wouldn’t be love that’s for sure. That’s not to say algorithms aren’t lovable. I suppose one day they will be.

What do you complain about the most?

View all responses

I like to complain about expert complainers, the ones who outdo everyone when it comes to life giving them a hard time. Move on , honestly , there is nothing you can do to make it better and I’m a tiny bit suspicious that they like to bathe in their misery and why waste time listening when it will always be the same conclusion. “No one can help me”.

You all know they exist and how you deal with them is up to you. Yes understand their situation and empathise with them then tell them you have an appointment you can’t miss ,tell them you’ll ring them later. Whether you do or don’t is irrelevant. The more times people don’t ring back the more likely they will get themselves out of their own self-made fug. There’s no guarantee, but then what in life is guaranteed, even doom and gloom.

This donkey is actually a very happy donkey, he has lots of grass to eat and an nice barn to sleep in. He just looks sad.

What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

View all responses

I like to think I’m a good sport and will occasionally watch something purely for entertainment purposes. Though as I am an observer of human nature, it pains me when I see behaviour which isn’t very sporting. Sport is all now so monetised, the stakes are so high, that it seems anything goes, and we have lost the point of Sport . So I turn to Shakespeare who knew a thing or two and probably watched the odd game of Tennis as it features in his plays.

“If all the year were playing holidays. To sport would be as tedious as to work” Henry IV Part 1(Act 1 Scene 2

As to me playing sport nowadays. I shall again refer to Shakespeare ” But I , that am not shaped for sportive tricks”. Richard III (Act 1 Scene 1)

What would you do if you won the lottery?

I’d sit on the Dock of the Bay and think what boat I could buy, then I’d breathe deeply and wish I could write a song as good as Sitting on the Dock of the Bay and realise that money isn’t everything and a boat wouldn’t make me happy anyway.

List five things you do for fun.

Only do shopping lists, and they are not fun, they are tedious and the effort of shopping is monotonous. Apologies it was raining all day yesterday and I’ve got the dishes to do.
