Good weekend? Mine was pretty good, thanks for asking. I went to Sir John Soane's Museum which was actually faintly unnerving. It was like seeing inside the home of a nutcase. Nice to see Hogarth's 'Rake's Progress' paintings up close though, along with the sarcophagus of Seti I and a million other items. Then went on a pub crawl which was costly but hugely entertaining.
Sunday I got a text 'from my daughter' which was quite thoughtful of my ex - and helped me to cope with the heartbreak that was BGB NOT FUCKING BOTHERING TO CALL EVEN THOUGH SHE SAID SHE WOULD.
What did you cunts get up to - and what scintillating joys does the week ahead hold for you?

But the insurance folk texted me £900 voucher to spend in Comet, which is weird. Toying with the idea of spunking the lot on another Vaio, or splitting it and buying a not so bad Asus and a Pentax DSLR. Would put me £100 over budget, but it would a whole new world of snappy photo goodness which I have been lusting after for many years.
Then I am off on holiday next week, not going anywhere, but not being in work is like an instant Caribbean break. Just good to geyt away from the fucking throbbers.

This week will be fantastic from Thursday onwards, as that's when my friend gets home, and I can't wait to see her, having missed her like crazy these last 11 months.

Which was awesome. As we were leaving they were firing off the MASSIVE Long Tom gun from WWII. At the very moment it fired a car was reversing from its space and BANG. An old guy got out of the next car and said "Oh my God" Went round to inspect his perfectly OK car and stared at the other driver who smiled and drove off with the old man yelling at him. Obviously he thought the gun was the car hitting him. How he thought it left no damage I don't know but his wife got out acting as if she had major whiplash and they were still inspecting the car when we left.

Sorry, I know I've not been on here for a while, but I need to vent before I make a head-shaped hole in my desk. I have just had the following conversation with a colleague:
Colleague: I think I need to get a dongle because the wireless signal's really weak in my room.
Crow: But your laptop's already got a wireless receiver in it, surely?
Co: Yes.
Crow: You can't solve the problem by sticking extra aerials onto it. Have you thought about getting a repeater to boost the signal?
Co: I don't see how that would help.
Cr: Well, it's designed to pick up your weak wireless signal and re-broadcast it.
Co: I am not sure how well that would work though
Cr: Why not?
Co: Well if the signal is weak how will it be able to rebroadcast it any better?
Cr: Because that's what it's designed to do.
Co: But the signal in my room is as weak as you can have before it cuts out, and in fact it cuts out a lot while i use it...
Cr: But that's the whole point. It's designed to receive a weak signal and boost it. It's much more sensitive than your wireless card.
Co: I'm not sure how well it would work though...
This has been going on for a good ten minutes now. Oh fucking hell she's whinging about her boyfriend again now. What a fucking great way to start a morning....
