The guy can't win! If he hadn't he would have been done for not apologising, and now that he has it's a political gimmick. When I read it I just thought it was a nice thing to do.

I think every codinghorror link posted this week contained a variation of the sentence "You're a bad developer until you realise you suck". It's a bit boring, we should invent a new catchphrase for him. I do like the picture though.

The NHS is one of the greatest things we've invented in the UK. It's not always perfect but everyone uses it at some point, some more than others that's just the nature of illness. You may not have had to use it yet, but one day you or yo
