Just going to see how it goes and go from there. Still very keen on the girl I was out with last weekend but I haven't heard from her since.
I think the reason for that is that she knows about tomorrow and wants to wait until she knows how that's gone. That's the impression I got from her at the end of the date anyway.

I much prefer the female voices - if you use the male ones they have more of a tendency to get obscured by the road/car noise, as they're lower in frequency. Don't know if that's the reason for them being default but it wouldn't surprise me.
I use sat nav by looking up the route on a map/the internet and programming about 10 via points into it so it takes me the best route instead of one it made up when it was smoking crack.
Edit: @ PJM - My pride and joy. Fully loaded as well.
It's a 3.0 straight six diesel so it's about the speed of a snail, but who cares when you're travelling in that much style? Also I can get nearly 50mpg out of it even with an auto box, if I drive half sensibly, which is pretty impressive. Only downside is the insurance...

I have a long list of mostly embarrassing and pretty improbable self caused injury.
My favourite was the time I jumped onto a plug (not deliberately) and it went through my foot. I did scar from that one.. Seriously though, ALL three prongs right in! One came out the other side..

I do indeed.
In a nutshell, I develop the software that controls the engines and gearboxes in all Jags and Land Rovers.
This has some caveats attached. Unfortunately I have to test the software at all speeds, in all conditions and in all climates, as well as doing comparisons with competitors. It's such a drag, having to drive all sorts of exotic cars in all sorts of places.
Some people end up jealous of my job for some reason.

Sat-nav should work like Google maps does. You give it a start and end point, then it works out the route. But here's the good bit - you can then click and drag the route to the way you want to go, and it will recalculate.
Genius.

Chances are, if I just stripped out all the emissions-related crap it would liberate more than 5mpg and 25 horsepower alone.
I *cough* did that on my car and it freed up 72 horsepower according to the dynamometer, and now does about 20mpg instead of 18mpg.

Ouchy! You seem a tad accident prone, the comedy injuries from opening a tin of paint amused me.
I once washed up and needed three stitches.
I did fall off the back of a running machine once too. I grabbed the bar to stop myself falling on my face and in doing so removed all the skin from my kneecaps.
I had the choice of getting back on or having a cry. I got back on and ran the last mile with blood streaming down my legs, because I fancied the girl on the machine next to me.

I began my career as a klutz aged three when I came screaming out into the garden covered in blood. Nobody knows what happened, I was too young to remember, but I still have a fairly substantial scar on my forehead.
Then.. Most notable ones, I grabbed my sister's dog by the infected neck accidentally and he bit me. I didn't want him put down as it was my fault so 11 year old me wore long sleeves all the way through a heatwave so nobody would know! My mother told me last year that she knew all along. Damnit..
Shattered my wrist playing with a sash window at college. That made my education as a musician challenging for a while!
The plug thing, and the knife thing.
I also ended up with a rusty nail through my foot and a torn webbing between big and second toes when trying to cut my front lawn (in south london) with a pair of nail scissors.
Ooh when I was 9 I was trying to tune my cello using pegs for the first time and the string broke and whiplashed into my face, I had this uber cool scar running from forehead to chin for yeaaars. Gone now though :p
I nearly drowned when I was 12 because I fell backwards into a horsetrough and got my head stuck under the water system in November and my family thought it was just too funny to get me out. I think I slipped on a half frozen cow pat.. Mmmmm
Oooh! I cut my thumb to the bone and even scored the bone permanently opening a can of kidney beans with a fork once. That was the day before a cello exam too. Right humiliating it was!
And my most recent, I rode my bike into a metal pole that ironically said 'cycle path' at high speeds and broke my collar bone. My bike didn't even get a scratch!
Im sure there are more but that'll do for now. I still think duck wins.

We'll all be bored with each other.
In fact, I don't think I'm even going to make it to New Year.

I do get bored with things quite quickly...
But b3ta does keep me out of other kinds of mischief, which is good :D

Well, I've just finished rather a fine Christmas lunch, with even finer wine.
Not too much though, as I've to drive later.
How are we all this fine afternoon?

That bad Drixy hates me and is prodding me with a stick, and Badgers bored of everybody!

I'm bloody happy because I can go home whenever I want and then I'm on holiday for two weeks! Yay!
Dok! YOU were the one who said everyone hates you! I don't like to disagree, that's all.

I finish today as well, Woo & Yay.
You are still prodding me with a stick though!
Oh gods the oldies are having a spat!

This is teasing.
I'll be on the gin tomorrow so if you want a spat, that's the time.

another two and two half days to work before I'm off. (As opposed to three days, if you see what I mean - I finish Wednesday lunchtime).
But that's OK, as I prefer having my long hols in the summer when it's warm.

I've got to come in on Monday, for some crazy reason.

Monday and Tuesday. And probably sometime between Xmas and New Year as well.

Oh god Drixy, not the gin, I'll have to remember to be a very good boy then.

I'm typing half-distracted today, I need to proof-read better!
( , Fri 19 Dec 2008, 14:50, Reply)

Should finish half day though.
I'm trying to build up enough flexi to sack the day off, but even though everyone knows we're going to finish at lunch it's sort of unofficial, so I have to expend a whole day's flexi on it!
Not back til the 5th though, they decided it was harsh to make us come back on a Friday.

You'll be ten minutes from my house!
I'd invite you over for a cup of tea, but I'll likely be crying at my hangover in London.

of a b3ta holiday too.
*sads*
I'm on holiday from lunchtime on Christmas eve until whatever time I get here (probably about lunchtime too!) on the 6th of January.
*happies*
But I'll log on from time to time, no doubt. In between eating, drinking, sleeping, gigging and other things that I may or may not be doing over the festive period.

Who's going to be sad enough to post on Christmas Day then....?

If I carry on being a good girl til next week Father Christmas should be bringing me a new notebook.
I feel like I'll have to post from it on christmas day just because I can.

luck with the date V.
Have fun at the bash everybody. I look forward to the humiliation of photographs :)

Did you request a particular type of notebook?

That's nice. How many pages?
And does it have lines, or just blank paper?

Samsung NC10.
Not the flashest, bestest one there is but more than what I need.
It looks pretty too :)

You're making me feel old. I thought the exact same thing the second I read her post =[

It's a sad day when the youngest man around feels old.
Earlier I was compared to a 45 year old divorcee with a drinking problem...

You're younger than I am. And I'm only, well, not that old yet.
Although I usually refer to a portable computing device as a 'laptop'. A notebook to me is still a cellulose-based product for taking handwritten notes.
( , Fri 19 Dec 2008, 15:40, Reply)

But the NC10 is technically a netbook I think.

I've been told I make Dad jokes. They seem to be the only ones I make. The girl I was on a date with last weekend commented on it. That can't be good...

although it's quite a big bag...
But I hope Santa's good to you, Miss Lust. Then you can gaz us all wirelessly!
Edit@V - seeing as you discussed all the taboos, tell her the one about the difference between oral sex and anal sex.
Oral sex makes your day. Anal sex makes your whole week.
It only works when said out loud though.

No school network would give him the admin/network access to do it.
( , Fri 19 Dec 2008, 18:50, Reply)

Admittedly they've got a lot better recently but a few years ago most school networks were an absolute joke.
When I started secondary school in 92 I managed to get myself full admin rights to 3 of the 4 servers within 6 weeks.
That lasted till the third year when they went from a Novell based network to an NT domain structure. By then I'd made friends with some of the cool kids and had stopped messing around so much with the school computers anyway.
While the story still sounds dodgy somehow don't attribute too much to the school network not being horribly insecure.
