Trampolines are dangerous. I know this from first hand (or maybe more accurately, first shoulder) experience. For I am writing this with my arm in a sling. Again.
Regular readers of this column may recall this is the second time in as many years that yours truly has found himself word-bashing with one hand. And did I learn anything about business continuity from last time? Sadly, no.
Actually, that’s not strictly true. This time I am not going to waste time faffing around with speech recognition. Two years on from the last encounter, I doubt if there has been any great advances in the technology, or my diction. Even with only my left hand still in action, I am sure I can outgun any piece of beach re-cog mission software. Only time, painkillers and physiotherapy will tell.
Meantime, the only certainty is that lightning does indeed strike twice in the same place and that complacency is the enemy of business continuity. Or, if you listen to my wife, it’s stupidity in this instance.
