Outsider’s digital date

Outsider has never trusted the young chaps who claim to know everything there is to know about the interwebs and if he hears another bloke with baggy-arsed trousers and an ill-washed t-shirt talk about "digital disruption" he may be found guilty of assault without batteries.

You see Outsider and his fellow scribblers at Money Management have been enduring the launch of a new web-site and while your venerable correspondent usually couldn't care less about things digital run by people with fractional personalities, he is greatly missing the comments posted by the likes of "TJ from the South Coast" and "Davey Jones — Emperor".

While Outsider has tried for as long as possible to remain a proud luddite, the little propeller-hatted bastards from IT managed to persuade him to have his column appear on the new Money Management website and he so liked the look of it that he agreed to allow readers to see him front-on rather than from behind. The photograph in question is very old and was taken during his Winfield period, but Outsider thinks it captures him at his best.

In the meantime, he has had a young lady helping him initiate what she calls a social media profile but he notes that while he has been trying to move ahead on this Linked-in thing-a-majig, an erstwhile colleague with claims to digital discernment seems to be having trouble letting go of the past.
