I'm finally more or less recovered. I shall be cycling the rest of the week if the weather holds
and probably if it doesn't.

how is life with you?
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Tue 6 Nov 2012, 20:59, Reply)

Really good, thanks. Weather's been shite, which I've been using as an excuse to avoiding the bike. Also , it's dark here before nine and after four if the weather's good. Otherwise it's dark .

Need to get out more, though, and stop making excuses.

Been reading about lead poisoning recently. They used to mine lead in the North Pennines and the average adult life expectancy was 40, but the last years were utterly fucked.

Evening
I'll go with a fluorescent green octopus that plays "Guantanamera" when startled.

I have seen a very very nice flat. Bit more than I originally thought I could afford (although I've spoken to a mortgage advisor since then) and 2 bedrooms rather than one (and one has an ensuite, which seems excessive). Also it's right next to the DLR. But I live above a main road with a fire station currently so loud street noise bothers me not at all.

I have more flats to see tomorrow, but I quite like that one. Maybe...

That is probably a moody version, but it'll still most likely work (and it's cheap).

It depends if you absolutely *have* to have Office.
If not, OpenOffice does 90-95% of what MS Office does, the missing bits is some macro stuff etc that most people may never use.
OO will also open files from any version of MS Office, older versions of MS Office are incompatible with the new ones!
Try it, it's not like it costs anything. ....
