    We were due to meet up with friends over from Oz who we haven't seen for a few years since we saw them down under.

    We both wake with godawful bugs - she's shivering, i'm on fire.

    Awesome. Sad bunny.

    It's amazing how many times I've been ill while on holiday booked off, like your immune system knows you're on holiday, so it books an all inclusive in Barbados and does one. So infuriating.

    Aye, maybe it's just switching off the adrenalin allows bugs to say "oh hi, i've actually been waiting to annoy you - now seems a good time".

    Oh well, it could always be worse.

    Its actually a stress related thing, you know you have holiday coming so your body begins to relax and all the bugs then pounce, I got that fed up getting ill just before holidays I did some research/googling.

    It's thirty billion degrees in this room. Can you lose weight sitting still and sweating? Or just consciousness if you get too dehydrated?

    Dehydration as a long term diet plan? Hm, yeah, i think you'd at least take up less space on the floor.

    It can't be any worse than those whoopsies that try smoking and/or diet pills

    Remember someone at work was on weight watchers, they got a bad stomach bug, went to the meeting things a couple of weeks later found they'd lost nearly a stone in a couple of weeks through living on the toilet and constantly sweating.

    I mean, its an option...

    An intensely unpleasant one.

    Although I am still sour that my appetite was only made worse by chemo, and I missed out on one of the least fun weightloss regimes.

    PC has started crashing, works fine for a bit then reboots suddenly and won't get to the log in screen or gets to the log in screen and hangs or constantly reboots before it will finaly let me log in... for a couple of minutes before the cycle starts again. Tried resetting windows 10 but it locked up at 1% and after a reboot finally let me log back in. Possibly may be overheating (my room is like 30 degrees most of the time now), need to check dust filters and if the waterpump is stull running on the corsair all in one cooler or see if the last update did something to make it unstable (if I can get it to run for long enough to undo the last update).

    I've got people who, as far as I can tell, can't read accusing me of plagiarising Tom's Hardware's review of the Raspberry Pi 4. The Tom's Hardware review that uses my photos, graphs, and benchmark results. That I provided. Which is why I'm named as flamin' co-author on the piece.





    The dude on Reddit even went to the trouble of circling tell-tale temperature spikes to demonstrate that they're the same graph. I mean, yeah they're the same graph: my graph.

    Furrfu.

    When Elvis's DeTomaso Pantera wouldn't start, he shot it. Perhaps a tad drastic...

    Good old reddit! It's never got one wrong before. Except all those times it's got everything wrong.
