Did that fox nick it['s fur coat?
It looks like one of those dye packs has popped on it :p


No babble here for a few days - i'm currently "enjoying" the process of sorting out a new desk and hayfever (combined with rather getting into some books*).

B&Q is not in my good books - I made a trip into Luton (urgh) especially earlier for some MDF (25mm) their site said was in stock.
After about 15 minutes hunting around I spotted on the top of a shelf, to be told "sorry we can't get it down today. I can understand them not getting it down with the forklift on a Sunday.
What I can't understand is why they didn't have any space for it down lower already - it's not like they were short of space for it (they had at least 4 locations for 18mm, including a pair of pallets stacked about 4 foot hight), it wasn't that they had run out of it on a lower shelf, but that they didn't have a space for it where customers could possibly get to it (unlike the 18mm...).


*mutters about a wasted trip*

At least the car didn't get broken into/stolen/set fire to, which is always a bonus when I go to Luton.


*I've got a bit of a weakness for Games Workshop fluff books, which is annoying when i've got 3 armies of the models needing to be painted :p

I got relatives live just down the road from Luton Airport, in a little village called 'Lily'. If I've remembered the spelling right. They shop in Hitchin though. Not seen them in years. My mother's half sister and her family.

I don't think I've ever been to Luton...
Been plenty of other dreadful places, though...

There's a chance I might find my way into UO.

No guarantees, though...
I might just stomp around the internet like a grumpy Elcor, instead.
At least that way, I don't have to redo all my keybindings and desktop :p

Cunning plans for a night-time trip to the 24-hour tescos + Spooky story binge != Recipe for success

At least, now it's getting light, I'll be able to convince myself that Private Tandy isn't going to leap out from behind a lamp post, grin widely, and eat my soul.

Bit chilly here, but there's some blue sky out there.
Grumblings of a storm yesterday, but it only lasted about 10 minutes :(

Morning babble-peeps and peepsettes!

My poor greater drag got whopped badly yesterday. I thought I'd give him a bit of variety in his diet. After all, all those miasmas ... miasmen ... whatever and Ancient Wyrms can't be good for anymonsters stomach. So I took him to the Blighted Grove. He didn't like it and neither did I.

The hydras were fine, but then came this uber-hydra Abyss ... Abcest ... Absinth ... whatever and had him for main course and me for pudding. I died another 3 times to get my stuff back and Ugly Bugger my drag another 2 times. Now he is sort-of sitting in the corner sulking. I guess I have to take him to the paragon AWs again to lift him up .. poor Bugger ...

Why the sad face Kimi? You like storm?

Still sunny here, even practised Tai Chi outdoor today partly. :thumbup::thumbup:

But again that nasty sleep problem as big as mount Fuji... Lost most of yesterday as well. :sad2::sad2:

Shopping took longer than expected, town in uproar, bomb squad, streets cordoned off, traffic diverted, buses all off their normal routes, so extra late. And all because someone left a taped up package on the church steps.

Afternoon all.

So Petra, will the new windows have a lovely Vista to look out upon, and will Terry be assisting in fitting them in order to get the XP?


I just got my Warhammer pre-order pack through the post

Unfortunately i can't work out how to activate the beta account on the website (I suspect it's not actually up yet, as I don't hink i'm quite that blind) :)
