    Isn't it like ... 10 mins to reinstall? I would've rather done that. Better yet, sign in on the same PC with a different user, delete old user, done.

    Nah. I'd put all of my drivers and software etc on first. So I had spent most of the day sorting it all. Plus it had finished updating etc.

    The ball spent more time on the floor than anywhere else - the floor was unsettlingly sticky. There was no chance I was getting involved in that!

    Yet evidently you survived, just be sure to go through a very thorough decontamination process.

    Barely. I am far too old and out of practice to be drinking with stdents.

    Also, a number of them smoked like chimneys, which added an unpleasant odor to the following morning. Ah well.

    Something something get off my lawn.

    Car died and due to my inability to cope with real life issues ended up in a mind pit of despair, stress and suicidal thoughts.
    My anxiety is turning into paranoia and have been terrified to ask for help, some people I work with live close to me.

    The older I get and happier I become the more worried about life I'm becoming and wanting to better it for my family.

    Diverter valve in the boiler's gone. £225. That's on top of what I'm having to shell out for the roof problems, which is already north of £2,000. Merry chuffin' Xmas, one and all.

    Very much before - that's due end of Jan. As is a main dealer service and insurance on the car...

    Did you kick a black cat through a mirror ball or something?

    Probably habitually walks under ladders and opens umbrellas indoors too, to get this much bad luck.

    In the fight between my fence and the wind the fence is on the canvas. I'm hoping it will do a Fury.

    Well it managed to get up again, and it's a draw although it's a bit battered.

    Did you know that the NHS has no provision for assessing or diagnosing learning difficulties in adults?

    Neither did I until today, but they'll quite happily refer the patient for a private assessment for the bargain price of £500, per assessment.

    I've done something in my back just under my right shoulder. Alienwares are bloody heavy :(

    I also didn't realise how slowly quad core CPUs unpack RAR files and decode music ETC. I do quite a lot of both and forgot how spoiled I was.

    I cut my finger pretty badly this morning on the foil on my painkillers. Spent all day trying to keep shitty blue plasters to stick on to keep it closed and stop bleeding whilst typing etc. Get home and before I can get a good plaster on it, Alphonso (my cat) catches it with a claw in the excitement of me returning and rips it open worse than before. That just about sums up my life right now.

    Someone get me the Chinese menu.
