Ok, so a couple of weeks ago, some unscrupulous ‘tard nicked a couple of hundred quid out of our bank account and blew it in an online casino. Which leaves us to do all the legwork making and chasing a fraud claim – frankly, it’s a pain in the neck. Well, it just so happens

Another run through. Picked up my shiny +4 katana from the warehouse and give it yet another upgrade then dropped it off in preparation for some future über run. I’m on the mountaintop again, after getting past the incredibly annoying evil soldier. Best way to deal with him, as it happens, is to have a

$COW-ORKER: John, my phone’s not working. I was speaking to someone and it went dead. Me: Is it plugged in? $COW-ORKER: Of course it’s plugged in. I was speaking to someone on it! Me: But is it plugged in? $COW-ORKER: Well obviously it’s plugged in because I was able to make a call before it

Well, the barbeque is on for the third night in a row. Cajun chicken, this time (with a couple of snags on the side). The weather’s been lovely for the last couple of days, despite what the weathermen keep trying to tell me. What I need to do, though, is find somewhere that’ll sell me

I had a very geeky conversation with the strangest of people last night. I had gone to pick up my oldest lad from Scouts and was standing speaking to him, one of the Scout leaders, and the Scout leader’s daughter. The Scout leader is a tiny wee wifie in her late fifties (I think –

My lovely lady wife has Mac Envy. It’s a terrible thing to see. She was wrestling with MS Office this morning and was practically turning purple. So, I’ve been commanded to “Get Her A Mac”. Thing is, we’ve been stuck with the PeeCee for over a year now and she’d kinda got used to the

Oh yes I have – thanks to this site, I’ve just spent an hour or so making the most awesome everlasting wallet out of duck tape (or duct tape, for our American readers). So once again, my firm belief that the whole universe is held together by duct tape is confirmed. Not only that, but
