Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

Good one CF. Apparently, the more people are around, the less likely someone else is to intervene to help someone out when there are incidents.

Yup - it's known as 'diffusion of responsibility' - if I remember my compulsory Social Psychology module properly, from way back in 1994(!)

Think I might have owned my laptop. FUCK YOU STOLI.

Last night I very suddenly came down with nasty flu-like symptons - twinges, pounding headache, nausea, muscle pains, overwhelming fatigue, shivering one minute, boiling hot the next...

Didn't go into work today, but don't feel up to doing anything at home, so it's likely I'll just loll about on the sofa all day, falling in and out of sleep.

My 32pp A4 booklet Census form has a small code on it which allows me to complete the questionnaire online - therefore wasting the 32pp A4 booklet Census form.

In this age of austerity, it would have been wise to communicate the fact that you could do the Census online in a more cost-effective manner.

Last year when the wife's car tax was due we decided to just do it for six months so that it no longer came up at the same time as her MOT. It's due at the end of this month, which now coincides with her crippling insurance renewal.
Bollocks.

Thanx for the tax reminder. I was given the tax disc for my van last week and stowed it away in the glove compartment. Without this I would have totally forgot to put in in the proper place and probably thrown it out when I do my monthly clean out of my van.

2nd degree sunburn from being an absolute dick and not putting on any sunscreen at all during a 12 hour music festival, serves my freckly arse right if i end up with skin cancer.

I got very similarly burnt during donnington monsters of rock, in 1990 (which was bloody awful from start to stop) and passed out during ac/dc's set. So i feel your pain. Calamine, Savlon, cool darkness.

I was there that year SBT but I was hard core and lasted till the end.

Bought the IDW/Desperado 'deadworld omnibus 1' today (£14.99, umpteen hundred pages, black and white). Recently, i gave all my old deadworlds to our locusts, having never been a fan particularly, but i had heard good things about these new ones, and thought i'd give it a go.

And yeah, it's really good. Or it is once i got past vince locke's bits.

However, as soon as i did get past the vince locke stuff, the book started to fall apart on me, literally! pages just dropping out en masse, despite careful handling, and now- at the end of the second miniseries- im left with basically a book of loose leaves. This pisses me off no end.

I think you had a lucky escape.  From eating pancakes made with Flora Buttery.

...because I took Cyberleader off ignore to read his post on the "Drokkin' Fantastic" thread only to discover that he hadn't, actually, got laid but was enthusing about getting a cheap satellite feed.

Anyone who thinks that his failure to score on the "Social Life" thread was down to her should probably take note.
