Why the problem is always a firewall

Why the Firewall guys always cause so many problems!

Why the Firewall guys always cause so many problems!

I found this bottle of Port in one of my local restaurants (Nandos in Norwich) and had to take a photograph. My family (and the rest of the diners) thought I was completely mad. Old Invalid Port just tickled my sense of humor and made me remember how many implementation issues have been because a firewall is improperly configured and blocking the important port that the application needs to work.

I thought you might like to know what the label on Bowen's Old Invalid Port actually says:

As an invalid wine it is invaluable
Equally suited for the Connoisseur

The Laboratory
Bow and Bromley Institute
London E
March 11th 1896

"I have carefully analysed and dietetically examined the Invalid Port submitted to me, and found the wine to be an exceptionally pure product, thoroughly aged and possessing a most delicate flavour and bouquet.

From the result of my experiment I can testify to the genuine character and dietetic qualities and unbiased tasting certify it to be a high class wine of great purity"

John Goodfellow

I wonder what the Advertising Standards Authority might say about that message today?
