Got a selection of ales to usher me through the evening and I Am Legend on DVD while will probably end in me bitching that "It's not as good as the book".

I don't plan to get out of bed tomorrow except for essentials.

Well...
I'm busy playing with my new toys - I've had my shiny new large TV and blu-ray player delivered today.

Only thanks to me being the fail-master, I've neglected to buy any blu-ray discs. *spang*

Methinks I need to go shopping in the morning.

Does your blu ray player not play DVDs? At least then you can play with it a little bit.

I know it sounds really sad...
...but I was desperate to go playing with a HD source for it, so I spent a good half hour this afternoon gawping at the BBC HD preview loop through Freesat HD.

I'm kind of desperate to see a blu-ray disc on it though - there's another 360 lines on a blu-ray picture than BBC HD.

Now I've got the TV set up, I've been casting my gaze at the Mission 7.1 speaker setup I've got in a box and haven't unpacked yet.

I just KNOW it's going to take me an entire weekend to install - that's how long it took last time.

Then I can host a high-def, Dolby Digital wine evening :)

So that I can get to Edinburgh for 9:30ish
Go round the castle then head down to Cardiff to see friends there and pop in to Warwick on the way.

Before you say it; yes I know I'm mad.

I'm guessing that most of the regulars have lives and are out on a Friday night... However, copious wine and salmon are the order of the evening in the collective sweary household. That, and we're desperately trying to save up - a small matter of nuptuals next year, y' know.

Speaking of which, I've just booked our accommodation for our mini-honeymoon-coinciding-with-the-Edinburgh-bash-next-April. Woo!

Good luck Captain
You'll need it :)

The M6 from the Thelwall Viaduct all the way down to Birmingham is completely unpredictable nightmare, and you will grind to a halt at some point along there. I just hope it's not for too long!
( rubberduck should only be used after consulting with your GP, Fri 26 Sep 2008, 20:40, Reply)

Thanks for the good luck wishes
Hopefully the trip up should be trouble free because of the ungodly hour. Back down again is where I expect I might run into trouble.

Suppose I should look into alternatives to M6 as by the sounds of it that's where I'm most likely to hit trouble.
( Captain V, Fri 26 Sep 2008, 20:44, Reply)

The reason the M6 is busy
is that the alternatives are even worse :)

There's cheeky little diversions you can make in some areas when there's localised holdups. E.g for problems near Manchester, drop onto the A50 and pop back out on the M6 at Stoke, but in most instances you're best off sitting it out.
( rubberduck should only be used after consulting with your GP, Fri 26 Sep 2008, 20:49, Reply)

In that case
I'll not bother even thinking about alternative routes. M6 here I come!

Hey Davros!
In light of the the fact your honeymoon will coincide with the Edinburgh Bash, I rearranged my New Zealand holiday so that I can come up to Scotland. Not missing that!

You feeling any better?
( thealternativefact, Fri 26 Sep 2008, 22:02, Reply)

Much better
ta, clendrix. Still a bit chesty, but it's amazing what sleeping for nearly two days will achieve when one is a tad under the weather.

I'm not one of these 'heroes' that will struggle into work with a cold, infect everyone else and then take 2 weeks to recover properly myself. Oh no. I learned that a loooong time ago...
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Fri 26 Sep 2008, 22:05, Reply)

What a sensible chap.
I agree and besides colds are weird things - so common we don't feel we can moan, but actually capable of really making us feel like shit.
( thealternativefact, Fri 26 Sep 2008, 22:10, Reply)

Absolutely
I long since learned - struggle into work with a cold, it'll take a week at least to disappear. Take a couple of days off - sorted.

I fucking hate people that labour under the delusion that the office will fall apart if they don't go in 'just because they have a cold'. Because, like, they're so important and shit? My boss 'struggled' in with flu a few months back. Result - one totally decimated section for about four weeks as everyone succumbed to the lurgy one by one, putting the whole programme back by about double that length.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Fri 26 Sep 2008, 22:15, Reply)

I swear this is the reason
people phone in with 'flu rather than a cold.
Taking time off for a cold just sounds so lame, like phoning in sick with period pains.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Fri 26 Sep 2008, 22:17, Reply)

Yes
and what's more, I can't understand those people not wanting to at least feel they can make most of feeling crap by having a couple of days under the duvet watching films and sleeping. Freaks!

Just finished watching the first three episodes of Fringe, which was enjoyable. It seems to be a cross between X Files and Lost, but then it is another J J Abrams production. The 50" plasma and surround sound added to the joyousness of the evening.

And to be stuck in Swindon! I'd sue.
It could be worse though, could be Slough.

@ Swan Vesta
I was wondering exactly the same thing yesterday after thinking I saw someone I recognised on a popular Flash video based porn site, not that I frequent such places of course. Turned out not to be them (although I did have to turn the volume up on a bit where they were talking to make sure!)

I read a funny story on teh internet somewhere (maybe even here) about a guy that didn't know his sister was in pornos until he downloaded one... could've been bullshit though.

Back to the original question, I am doing absolutely fucking nothing tonight due to enforced unemployment/skintness/singledom/living in a shit rural area with nothing to do again. Joy.

And my new phone's buggered already after approx 4 weeks, nice. I swear phones are so much less reliable than they used to be!

The single good thing in my day seems to be the new Roots Manuva album which I'm currently listening to for the first time., Rather good, anyone else on it? (I am a bit late I know, but I've only recently come out of a big phase of listening to no music recorded after 1972)

On a related note
I once saw a porn video, amateur job, whilst at work (as part of my job). The lady in the video looked AMAZINGLY like an acquaintance of mine. Double, and indeed Treble Takes occurred.

Of course, I jokingly told this girl, and she said that she's also seen it, and that I'm not the first person to point out the fact that there's video grot of her stunt double on the net. I'm not sure whether to believe her or not, she is teh filth.

On the subject of sunny Slough, anyone else been watching fly on the wall documentary Road Wars on Sky 1/2/3 recently?

Thames Valley Police ELITE SPECIAL PROACTIVE UNITS on patrol in Slough. Made hilariously watchable by the way they absolutely throw the book at everyone, they'd better be jobsworth cunts cos they're being filmed.
