Old Man Pain

For a few days lately I have felt like I am an old man being in quite a lot of pain. I assumed it was the booze I drank over the weekend but here I am on Tuesday and it has not eased at all. It could be loads of toxins in my blood I guess, the booze not clearing and the excersise I did last week combining but it is just not nice.
 
Last night I went to panto rehearsals with Robin and it was fun for one reason or another. I think he'll pull off a small miracle if they are ready by 28th November but if anyone can do it, I am sure Robin can. Poor Robin got a flat tyre last night but those nice people from the RAC sorted it out though somewhat stupidly agreed to Robin not having to be here over the phone then moaned about it when they got here!
 
In a warped way, it is good to hear that my friend Pete is going through the same sort of thing as me feeling like his life is not his own, he has no real freedom and that inanimate objects are ganging up on him, I am not totally mad then!
 
Oh bugger this, I am trying to have a yawn as I need one but it just hurts too much so I can't.
 
I believe I have identified a program needed to remove copy protection from already owned DVD's so they can be backed up, it is called  DVD Region+CSS Free and seems like it could do the job.
 
Autoglass are meant to turn up this morning ... no doubt I shall be adding another not to this blog later

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
