The Snark Returns: Random Musings from The GWS

SW/Web developer: ~12 years of C# (yay!) & ASP .Net MVC, Java (blargh!), Python (woot!) experience. I'm currently hitting faucets and writing for crypto to stake/invest . | I work part-time with animals. Sadly, my cerebellum and medulla oblongata aren't Einsteinian in proportion. However, I possess a Brobdingnagian vocabulary and get by with being a barbigerous logophile. I can probably write you into bed, if smashing Capitalism and Patriarchy turns you on. Kink is political!

The older people get, the more set in their ways they seem to get. I've seen it with my parents' and grandparents' generations, which are/were particularly rigid. Case in point, an encounter with an unnamed and unidentified individual from that era:...

Words are Very Unnecessary; They Can Only Do Harm

16 Nov 2022 3 minute read 2 comments Great White Snark

For most of my life, I've lived it trying to be the hero, the great white hope, because that's what was expected of me. Instead, I'm the Great White Snark, because I have never managed to keep up the pretence long enough to make a success of it. (My...

Copyright carbuyer.co.uk This afternoon, I drove home from work behind a guy (it was definitely a guy; he had his name as his personalised number plate) in a very fancy BMW M3 sportscar. (At least, that's what I remember it as being.) However, he wa...
