Could you let us know what 2021 is like so we can be prepared ?

Happy New year.

COVID cases again here in Victoria. We celebrated today by reintroducing some restrictions.

This reminds me a little of our preparations for the 'Millennium Bug' (ask your Dad, he'll remember :) :)

At one point, our boss said something along the lines of 'why are we spending all this time and money preparing for the unknown? I'll just ring a friend in Australia at lunchtime on New Year's Eve - if there are any problems, they will have had them first, and we can fix them here before midnight. We were never entirely sure if he was serious or not....

My favourite quote from then was a colleague who asked "Why can't we simply do the same as we did last time it happened" :lolol:

I was also paid £500 just to be on call on 31/12/1999 and as suspected, nothing happened :thumbsup:

£500? Blimey I only got £100.

There were hours and hours of work put into reprogramming to make sure nothing did happen. Be prepared as some boy scout once said.




I wish things did magically get better because the date changes, but this coming year will have some sad and some happy times just the same as any other year. One day at a time (end of philosophy)

Happy New Year folks
