Morning all
Tuesday: that day that is better than Monday for some reason, but still so far from next week that it makes me a little sad.

Highlights of your Tuesday anyone?

My highlight is discovering the b3ta bash pics were taken out of the b3ta bash pool by the pool-admin coz I didn't add any captions.

I've got to wait until Monday to get paid. A weekend with no cash is not something I look forward to. How will I be able to buy alcohol and pay my loose women?

Good to hear you're no longer ill
I went to a brilliant comedy club thing last night called the Smirking Room at the Adelphi pub in south Leeds. It was brilliant, although the last comedian was a little... odd. That is, he was a raving transvestite in lipstick.

that sounds like awesome. I once saw a transvestite stand up that made no reference to dressing like a woman, just deadpanned his/her way through the entire show. Made the whole thing even more funny.

Saturday night
God, I was hammered too... I don't remember much about the train journey home. Was great seeing everyone though, without exception the new faces I met were all lovely folk. I must thank Wanderlust again for her excellent cakes.

LvP - I thought you were coming to the bash?

Sunday was a write off though. I woke up with sore ribs and managed a grand total of two climbs on Sunday. I'm getting too old for boozy nights out.

I guess you could go to a scrap yard, get a new door and not go through insurance.

That'd cost you a bit, but nowhere near as much.

Also helps if the car is a common colour.

I'd say
go through the insurance. Most policies, especially ones on company cars, offer a replacement vehicle for the damaged party.

That way, Mrs Al gets £500 in her pocket and a shiny new car to drive around in until it's sorted....

You could bake a cake and leave it at reception for him, if you know where he works.

What he won't realise is that the main ingredient, after flour and eggs is the stingy-bits from ten thousand bees :D

I have joined the world of work again...

@ Ethelred - I can tell that's a voice of experience speaking, doncha just love Active Directories?!

I did a bit of work here a few years ago and was responsible for commissioning the Exchange 2003 server, and a Win2k file server, so I have some idea what I'm letting myself in for... just seems stupid to be running those in an NT4 domain, if I upgrade the DC to Server 2003 I should be able to run the whole network without even leaving my desk. (that's the theory anyway)

I just rang the dentist to see what time my appointment is on friday. Apparently it's in ten minutes. As I am still nekkid and it's a 15 minute drive I would have to rewrite some of the laws of physics to get there on time. Anyway I don't think having a numb face would work to my advantage in my job interview.

Still, on the plus side, if I get called for an interview for the job I really really really want it will be on friday. So no numb face for me then! Hurrah.

Also Walkers salt and vinegar, my ex, and I was going to say wholegrain mustard but now have to think of something original ... er... hummus.

Update:
"Keeps phoning me up to ask why their PC is being funny.
I asked what kinda funny, and they said that when they type stuff, it puts random extra letters into it.
*shrugs*
I'm not the IT guy, dunno why they asked me."

So, it turns out that my explanation of the problem as "The motherboard being possessed by the ghost of a sparrow that got trapped in the ceiling tiles" was, in fact incorrect.

Turns out the keyboard was fucked, swapped it for another, all good now.

My first branch (can you have a branch of a pub?) will be called The Giddy Aunt. No reason. I just like it.

Someone I knew lived in Holland for a while and told me about a cooperative pub the locals had set up. There was no landlord, everybody ran it. It worked well.

@Lusty, bosses suck. Another piece of advice: when doing something against the rules that everybody does, don't get caught. And if you do, don't tell the manager everyone does it and then refuse to name names. The boss will be humiliated that he can't control his staff and make a shining example out of you :(

Aaaah, that'll be why the lack of trouble. It was a really expensive laptop (Inspiron 9400) which I only bought because of a whacking great discount through my work ...... basically got it for two thirds of the normal price.

Or maybe HP. Can't go far wrong.

If you give me a budget I'll look one up for you (I am VERY bored at work....!)

Assume it'll just be used for Facebook, listening to music etc?

Edit: in reply to Vipros, I've had nothing but trouble with Acer. Made the mistake of buying a few of their screens for work as they were cheap, about 40% were DOA and nearly half the rest broke in the first few months! All their stuff seems really plasticky and poorly made.

My sister went through three Acer laptops before settling on a Toshiba, which has lasted longer than the three Acers put together.

YMMV

January will be good as I expect a few of them will make it into the sales (prices will have changed so much by then it's barely worth me recommending one)

But, my recommendations:

Get a Toshiba or a HP (preferably Toshiba)
Get an Intel processor one, not an AMD
Buy a copy of Norton Ghost and image the hard drive after you buy it, then rolling back to pre-borking will be far easier!

You could even look for something second hand/refurb/ex lease, you don't need that high a spec to do basic internet things. And spend the balance on Net Nanny type software and such.

The review claimed it felt more like a Bourne film than anything else, which is good in a way as the trilogy was ace, but was lacking the James Bond feel. Still, if it's half as good as Casino Royale I'll be chuffed, that was excellent. And lets face it, it can't be worse than the last 2 Pierce Brosnan did.

As for the Dark Knight I loved it, well the first two hours anyway, up until the threw two-face in. That was a waste. Looking forward to the Watchmen though :D

Watchmen
is definitely one of those wait-and-see films. I know I'm going to end up watching it anyway, same as I did with Daredevil, Constantine et al, all the reviews will have a bearing on is how soon I go to the cinema to see it!

The Justice League film
may be way off in the future.

DC have announced they're going to reboot Superman again and have a Green Arrow film out some time in the next year or two as well. Unfortunately, that means the JL plans are off the shelf for now.

Is anyone else looking forward to the Wolverine film? I'm intrigued to see how they fit Deadpool in there....
(Pirate Monkey is not the goddamn Batman, Tue 21 Oct 2008, 15:39, Reply)
The Wolverine film
is also in post-production. And Deadpool is in it, now that's going to be good.

EDIT Pirate...yip, I am! Deadpool is sexy.

Exactly, it's always left over and it's far superior to vodka
Similarly I took several bottles of gin (and tonic, and limes, I used to be in the Scouts so I operate at high levels of preparedness) to Glastonbury, and mixed up Sigg bottles full of G&T to take round with us. Great thing was everyone we offered it to refused once they knew what it was, more for us!
