What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
If you’re seeing this page but it’s not the 22nd August 2008 (check your calendar) then something has gone wrong.
I’ll be here scratching my head trying to work out what the hell is going on.
Yours in Christ,
James.
and now back to August 22nd
Every time I think about complaining about my job, I think about these poor fellas.
Holding up the targets whilst the rest of the troop fired at them.
No helmets either.


I don’t understand why this job is necessary
Neither do I- it was on the grass along the main highway leading to Pudong airport.
The actual targets are very high, are they practising shooting basketball players?
even more troubling, why are they practicing beside a highway?
Surely they weren’t actually shooting along the highway with live ammunition? But with a 1.3 billion population I guess it’s not the first time I’ve seen jobs done here that wouldn’t exist back home. A bit like the girls who press elevator buttons in office towers and apartments.
if they’re not shooting with live ammo, what is the point in the targets / at all?
I think they’re just playing a version of paintball.
I think they’re just saving the really good picnic spots for the weekend and someone stuck in an office with an air rifle and a big hamper planned doesn’t like that.
I’ve never seen anyone dead on there yet so you could be right- makes me feel safe anyway.
i like the contrasts in attitude. the guy on the left is all relaxed and sitting back, “chillin’” as it were . . . the guy on the right doesn’t look too confident in his fellow marksmen (paintballs or not).
hi James. Why am seeing this post on the frontpage? Did your archives get wiped?
hey Jerry- I’m not sure, a few people have mentioned this, seems to come and go. Very odd.
Jerry it’s a sneaky way for James to generate more comments for older posts. Don’t take the bait!
So what month is this?
what is wrong with da site???
Well I’ll be flummoxed
errrr…did you get hacked or something? why are the bloggin entries going back in time?
I guess I am not the only one who is complaining about the lack of my daily read of ispyshanghai.com. Perhaps it’s some sort of PR gimic to get more attentión?
Can you not see the “Recent Posts” list on the right hand side?
Are you still seeing the old version of the layout?
Can you not follow this link?
I’m close to just giving up, I can’t get the same error as anyone else, I’ve tried dozens of different ways to fix it. It seems to work for some people but not others.
James, is your site broken?
Not sure Jenn- is it broken for you?
Your site is cool by the way- I’ll have to add that to my list of links
What is going on with the site?!?
For weeks now the main URL of ispyshanghai.com takes you to this page.
Sort it out mate!
Everyone apart from you says that problem is fixed.
What are you using to access the site? Is it possible that you just need to refresh the page?
Can you see the “Recent Posts” plug in on the right hand side of the page?
It’s like being in a Michael J Fox movie. Just look for Doctor Emmett Brown and he’ll take you back to the future!
I really thought I’d fixed this, but how am I supposed to tell if anyone else has the same problem?!
A good time to run one of those polls?
