Bloody English weather.
Just got back from taking my parents dog for a walk in the local park. Set of all sunny and warm but some distant dark clouds. Will be Ok says I as a bit of drizzle wont be too bothersome should it be on us.

Bloody pissed down for an hour. I had to take a detour round the park as there had been an incident and the police told me I had to go another route. Doubled back along a bridle path and fell in the mud.

I got drenched and my jeans were so wet it was like walking home with a small child attached to each leg. Even the dog was rushing to get back and usually you have to drag him up the hill back home.

Good news is that my Incredible Hulk t-shirt has arrived. Huzzah!

Oh and someone fancies me on the dating website and he's cute.

Edit - I keep getting Belgium men checking me out. What is it about me that says I need Belgium cock?


Edit 2 - And why didn't Firefox notice I'd spelt Belgium wrong?

I am now dole scum
Having moved to London. Which is fine, except of the £500 emergency money I had, I've spent £1200. Ah the free money of credit cards.

Now I'm asking your taxes to fund me as I attempt to find a job that will pay even half of what the one I walked out of in Northants did. Bastards.

On the plus side I'm now in London, yay!!

EDITAGE - I have shite 'net connection so sorry for being ignorant, and if you know of any part-time jobs in Londonville, gaz me! Yeah. AND even though I do have a massage table upstairs, it's not that kind of work that I'm looking for and no cock pictures will be accepted.

Craving!
There's this thing you can get from the chippy, but only in the city of Hull and a couple of it's outlying regions called a patty. It's mashed potato and sage, deep fried in batter, and it's fucking awesome and I WANT ONE! Can't even get decent fish and chips around here so I'm craving lots of greasy deep fried food.

What's your favourite dish local to your city?

So, I'm totally off to the beach in three weeks.
I have an old tax form that will allow me to recieve $400 (yay extra beach money!) and I was going to file it today but it turns out that I waited too long and I'll have to mail it instead of filing online which means I've gotta wait 2 months to get it (boo, no extra money).

What have you missed out on because you're a lazy crap procrastinator? Or just busy, like me?

Every so often
you get told a tip, or a mnemonic and it really does plant itself deep in your brain. When I saw that thing in last week's newsletter about how to open a banana properly, I went out and bought some to test it out. By christ it works, and it's one of those tips that is now almost hardwired into my cortex. Everyone who sees me do it asks me what I'm doing and I explain. I've not had a single person complain that it's not better.

Greetings good citizens of Off Topic
Techie help needed. I want to rape and pillage your knowledge as I am an imbecile and have tried to do this for about a week with no joy.

Computer crashes (shitty Advent laptop). Reinstall windows and all the other guff. I've got an external dvd drive which hooks up via a usb which won't play now. Comes up with a 'need a hi-speed usb port' window twatty bollocks thing. It worked before. Been looking online to download the software driver, can't find the fucker. Any ideas where a poor fool like me can find this illusive fucking software so I can watch grot films on my laptop again (well, I was actually trying to watch The Incredibles).

Groo ....
Thank the relevant deity that's over. It is now two days since I had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst.

Going in, I was prepped for the worst. Suspected Endometriosis. Might have to take out one ovary and maybe some of the fallopian tubes.

Shit. Wasn't really hoping for a third child anyway, but, Really?

And then came the Bowel Prep. [warning, icky stuff]

The prepatory reading was bad enough. It outlined a 3 day diet that a supermodel would've considered a tad severe. Only to be followed by a course of laxatives, followed by a Full Bowel Purge.

The words, "If your anus become excoriated, please apply vaseline or lanolin" should never be read by a straight housewife in her thirties. I don't even know what the word excoriated means! And I went to Uni! And studied English Lit. Fat lot of good that was.

So ... I was ... in fact ... weeing out my bum for 2 days.

This my dears, is a Coming of (Middle) Age Ceremony. Don't laugh. You're bound to be next. The list of overly intrusive medical tests seems to have exponentially multiplied the SECOND I turned 30.

[/end icky stuff]

So, end result;

No endometriosis. Yay!

Four scars on my belly. Boo.

Ovarian cyst excised and gone for good (hopefully). Yay lots!

Going to bed now. All this excitement has fair done for me nerves.

Bugger ... I should just buy a pearl twin set and change my name to Hyacinth.

Quick techie help needed
Today I'm going to be reinstalling XP on someone's PC, as they've got a badly pirated one.

I'm going to be replacing it with a genuine one they've bought (don't ask, I don't know why either), so my question is this.

Will I need to remove the old windows first, or can I just install over the top?

If this doesn't apply to you, tell me what your favourite alcoholic drink is? Mine is a heather ale called Fraoch, it's godly!

Double Jamesons + Ice.

Repeated intake will fend off swine flu, man-flu, bird-flu and several other ailments.
Side effects may include loss of vision (after 1 bottle), loss of ability to retain memory and complete failure of inhibition.

So forget TamiFlu, grab yourself a bottle of Irish Flu Defence Medication... and it's very nice to drink too!

Toasters
Was just having a shower and I realised that my toaster is now 10 years old. Its a dualit 4-slice bastard. I've never replaced a part, and it makes better toast than cheaper toasters. Anyone who disagrees a) doesnt have a dualit b) hates toast and c) doesnt know what the fuck they're talking about.

A wank, I think.

I just don't fucking get it
A girl claims to like me, and claims to call me her boyfriend. However, when she comes round mine for food (and leaves my keyboard as greasy as hell) she decides to play games on Facebook and chat with her friends.

And then says she has a good time and wants to come round tomorrow. And yet I feel like I'm competing with a fucking website.

Am I missing something here? Or is she just an antisocial cow who I'm better off without?

Wanna know something else that freaked me out a little today?
I'm reading Stephen King's 'The Stand' at the moment on my everlasting journeys to work and on page 165, there is mention of...SWINE FLU. "Government health officials emphasize that this is Russian-A flu, not the more dangerous Swine flu".

It's a given that I'm reading it as a giggle as I loved the miniseries and people give you funny looks if you wear your scrubs home on the tube and sneeze a couple of times - anything to get a seat, but the thing that gets me is that this book was written in 1978, with any additions made in 1990 (It's the complete and uncut version).
