Just another example of the grand failure and folly of the war on drugs.

The problem will be exasperated once the governments start making one maditory for us all. For our own good of course.

How the mighty have fallen.

I'm as proud as punch of my British (Christian) heritage: Magna Carta, rule of law, the non-racism of high expectations. What a formidable, honourable culture.

What this culture has morphed into in the post-Christian dispensation?

A sorry, sodden mess.

Kyrie eleison.

"The problem will be exasperated once the governments start making one mandatory for us all. For our own good of course."

Mine will be going on a lengthy bus trip 15 minutes after it is issued. Either that or into 200 fathoms of water later that same day or the next one.

Great idea! I've been racking my brain how to use my prosthetic leg to more advantage than handicap parking spots!

if only all the mistakes were this funny.

"The firm contracted to apply and check monitoring bracelet says that 'procedures were not followed.'"

Has anyone else noticed how standard it is these days that "procedures are not followed"?

A major delivery company a few weeks ago:

* left a notice on our door with the first three ID letters scribbled and COMPLETELY illegible.

* When I called said company to track the item, the company employee, after gathering other info from me, told me what the CORRECT ID letters were.

* When, two days later, the parcel had still not arrived, another employee was not able to track the item because, as it turned out, the employee I'd spoken to earlier, even though she had told me the CORRECT ID letters, HAD ENTERED THE INCORRECT ONES INTO THE COMPANY'S COMPUTER.

* When I asked to speak to a manager and finally got one on the line after 10 minutes of waiting, he was not apologetic and kept making excuses for his employees: "Yes. They made a mistake." I told him in no uncertain terms that making "a mistake" and being completely incompetent were two different things.

* The manager did say that he would register my complaints and, at my request, that he would call me back with the complaint numbers.

* A week and a half later, he has not called back.

The tracking bracelet on a prosthetic leg and tracking mistakes all the way down the line in a (supposedly) competitive delivery company are a sign of the times. What really scares the Hell out of me is when our doctors and dentists stop following procedures -- and I've seen evidence of this too.

Or when airline companies don't follow procedures. I'm flying today, so my prayers are for the maintenance crew, that they catch any problems, and for the cabin crew: that they all follow procedures!!

Would you be issued two monitoring gizmos if you had, like a work leg and a Sunday-go-to-meeting leg?

Well the Brits may soon need to have a license to obtain any kind of tobacco;
