John,
So thanks for reminding me..... I'll advertise now for August 2004! Before
the change.
I'm getting rather philosophical nowadays. I'm not saying that a change in
SHO training and structure is not needed..... but to introduce it just now
seems madness.
Thought for the Day
"We trained very hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to
form up into teams, we would be reorganised, I was to learn later in life
that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising and a wonderful
method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing
confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation."
Gaius Petronius (A.D. 66)
Footnote
Gaius Petronius subsequently committed suicide (as seen in the film Quo
Vadis) when it all got too much for him!
Petronius wrote the first Roman novel, the Satyricon. Only sections of the
novel exist today. The work traces the adventures of three Romans as they
travel in Italy. Through a mixture of prose and poetry, Petronius portrayed
conditions of real life under the Roman emperor Nero. He described a
society filled with dishonesty, insincerity, and vice. Nearly one-third of
the surviving novel deals with a rich but uneducated man called Trimalchio
and a lavish dinner party he gave. During the dinner, Trimalchio attempts
to impress his guests with what he thinks is good taste. But the host's
showiness and vulgarity expose his cultural inferiority to his
intellectually superior guests. Scholars believe Petronius wrote the novel
to ridicule Roman society under Nero. He committed suicide leisurely by
cutting his wrists, whilst dictating a letter to Nero detailing how
despicable his regime was!
