Not funny, but true...
As an addition to my earlier post, I have found several things that either made me smile, helped me out or were just cool.

1) My house. I was looking for somewhere for myself and the missus, when I found a letting agency on-line. They showed us a flat (yech! it was an awful ex-council job that looked like a tenement) and a 1970s house, which was ok (if a bit 1970s, surprise surprise). The lady then said, "We do have another property, but it's not been very popular, as it's an old building. It does have lots of space and a separate studio over the scullery."

We went for a look and made an offer there and then. It took a lot of scrubbing, but that's about all it needed (apart from a lot of light bulbs!) and we now have a lovely old home that's part mansion and part hobbit-hole. Result!

2)Ghost Hunters - found one night whilst randomly stabbing at Sky, now required viewing - it's like Most Haunted, but with scepticism. And some truly freaky results - check out some of the videos or EVP work on youtube. Jay and Grant rule...

3)A load of photos on a CD that I thought had been lost forever. It was stuffed down the back of a drawer and, despite looking scratched to hell, worked well enough to let me rip the pics to my computer for safe-keeping.

4) A copy of LittleBigPlanet - found at Tesco (all other local places had sold out). Brilliant game and it's acted far better than painkillers in helping my pregnant wife relax and chill out after work. God bless Sackboy!

I think that's about it. Of course, I have found many a grot-mag, dodgy video and photo in my years on this earth, as well as finding out that the desk by the front of the class in my 5th form Maths class looked straight into the girls' changing room when the windows were open on a hot day. It's hard to concentrate on quadratic equations when the lood is flowing away from your brain, you know...
