FishermansEnemy 「漁師の敵」 :donor:‮'s Post

I was reminded recently of something that happened while I was in a pub in the Cotswolds. I was feeling very left out, but after a couple of pints I got chatting with one of the old fellas there. I explained that I worked in tech and spent a lot of my time attacking computers, and he said that even farm equipment wasn’t safe from “progress” and was filling up with computers.
He told me how he used to help a local museum restore old equipment so that it could be displayed, but the newer stuff was completely untouchable. Not only did nobody have any electronic knowledge, but the manufactures had put in controls that would disable them if it detected tampering. He said that since then he’s not really bothered with restoring work and he just spends his free time in here grousing about it.
Now, this was a few years ago, back when you could still smoke in public houses, and as a non smoker it was starting to affect me. I said that I’m just popping out for some fresh air. The guy looks at me, winks, and starts taking the biggest breath I’ve ever seen. Within seconds the air is completely clear! He walks to the door and blows out all the smoky air into the car park.
I said that’s amazing!
He looks at me confused and says, have you not been listening mate? I’ve just spent the last hour explaining to you why I’m an ex-tractor fan!
