I propose that women of that mid-life age and beyond shouldn’t be allowed near computer-based machines until properly trained. It’s far quicker for them & everyone around them if they go and speak to a real person. Yes, really. We should put notices up or something. As usual this morning I arrived at the train…

OK, so my Orange phone got its calling barred because they failed to take the monthly bill by direct debit. They are the communication company so, first I tried to ring them on the free 150 number from my mobile. It connected and the menu options worked fine, but as soon as it tried to…

I went back to Cheltenham last night after work, for my brother’s 30th birthday. It’s funny when your little brother hits 30. It’ll be strange when my little sister does. I decided to work in Cheltenham today, to avoid rushing back to Swansea. On the one hand this was probably sensible because of the extent…

I’m on the train, listening to Coldplay on my iPod. With in-ear headphones. Which are very good at cutting out valley chatter. And yet I can still hear the leaking noise from someone else’s headphones. Holy crap. Get some consideration/decent earphones. There can’t be much sound left to actually go to his ears. Dick.

The beginning of the new year is a bloody strange time. The shops have big new displays of fitness gear, diet books pop up everywhere, gyms offer discounted membership packages, and the major newspapers in the UK use half of their front pages advertising their horoscopes for the coming 12 months. They promise to predict…

Check out this particularly f**king disgusting piece of spam currently hitting the world, from an “Alfred Peterside”. I don’t agree with capital punishment as a rule, but burning’s too good for these filthy f**kwit thieves. “Alfred Peterside & Associates 13 Dale House London SE162PT United Kingdom TEL/Fax: 44-870-134-6160 Tel: 44-78-100-8005, 44-703-194-1346 Email: alfred_pete5@yahoo.co.uk Email: alfred_peterside@sanook.com…

This is shit! I’ve been trying to authenticate my copy of Half-Life 2 for a couple of hours now with Steam so I can play the bloody thing! Every other gamer on the planet is trying to do the same, and the system is clogged. Goddamnit!

My blogging is getting weaker and weaker. I don’t really understand it, but I seem to have less and less blogworthy comment these days (although some of you probably question the merits of much of my content anyway). Is this a reflection of my life becoming more and more boring? I wouldn’t say boring, but…

Buy HalfLife 2 & download it with Valve’s Steam. But you can’t play it yet because it’s not ready for release. What’s up with that? This makes no sense! There’s not even a date yet for which you’ll be allowed to play your web download. Sux.

Kim says I’m jinxed, never to rebuild my PC. It has been a month and a half now since I last fragged a fire-lobbing imp with my chainsaw. Hmph. My new motherboard was due to arrive the day after I got home from Cornwall (in case the pictures didn’t clue you in – yes I…
