Why? Is BEEX going off for maintenance?

More or less.

Aaaaah, it's the cottaging weekend, isn't it?

You really should come, you know.

A month and a half old (the photo, not the child), but this amused me. I can picture her thinking, "THERE IS NO SPOON!".

Dude, she's not 'The One'.

I think she's more likely to be thinking "There's no food on my fucking spoon. Stop dicking around with your camera and be useful, idiot".

She was under 4 months old. They don't eat with spoons at that point!

Lucky bitch gets to suck on boobs all day!

EDIT - Maria took this photo; I'll tell her what you said!

I fail to understand why the transformer on latptop power supplies cannot, at the same time as being used t powering the laptop, charge a secondary battery.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16585

I guess the charging circuit is inside the laptop. Also the power supply would need to be a bit bigger and anyway the majority of laptop users just have one battery and plug in whenever they can.

I'm not even sure if this laptop has a removable battery or not.

Maybe I should devote my spare brain processing power to more critical thinking.

The whole 'Dragon soul' and 'Dragon words' in Skyrim looks a little gay.

1st day seemed to go ok. Big open-plan office and my monitor is a bit too obvious for BeeX usage, but then it looks like I'm going to be pretty busy over the next few weeks anyhow.

I went out in Otley with on of my old University friends, yesterday. It was really good to see him again, and we had lots of beer and fun times. He took me to The Junction which he described as a 'dog pub' and it was, but they were all very well behaved and didn't bark. So that was nice.

This morning, I went to Bradford and spent £10 on a USB wireless thingy which seems to work. Which is a relief.

I remember doing the Otley run when I lived in Leeds... I think it is about 13 pubs my recollection is a little hazy..

The Otley run isn't actually in Otley. It's a run of pubs on Otley Road, a couple of miles down the hill from Otley.

All the way into the city centre as I recall, but I lived near the student union so just started there and moved inwards rather than do the full thing.

The last two Acers I've had run on the mains with no battery in.

Anyone seen Tangled? It's absolutely brilliant. The kids really enjoy it, and First Born suggested we make Rapunzel's tower out of Lego. So, this is what First Born and I did a couple of days ago:

It's funny, and the main character is hot. What else do you need?

In better news, the best Disney film EVER is in the cinema this week. Squee!

As was the inn scene. And various other things.

Anyway, it's good for kids.

Bugger. This conversation reminded me that I need to get hold of the ice age movies on DVD by Saturday.

Went to the pub quiz with MrsA. We got 29. Winner got 38, and but their team was more than two. The team next to us googled everything and got 27. Losers. And I drank enough beer over two weeks to garner me a free pint. That's right, drink 5, get one free.

I know, but I got the leaked copy massively in advance of them actually releasing the bastard thing, which at least gave me two different versions of the songs, I s'pose.

She's been completely publicity shy for years now. Not like a recluse, but doing very little obvious. Ho hum.

I remember seeing her live in 1996 at a mostly empty Student Union in Manchester. She was so, so lovely.

I learnt from the quiz that the answer to "Who was in a Maroon 5 music video?" wasn't "Merideth Kercher". in my defence, it was in the "Topical" round.

Brilliant films. The kids' favourite is the third one. There's something indescribably awesome about a 3 year old kid stripping down to his pants, putting on an eye patch and shouting "the name's Buck! Short for Buckminster!" and chasing round the house like a loon.

3 year old? A likely story. This was you, wasn't it?

If you start to Google 'List of'.. as I just did, the first autosuggestion is 'list of disney films', which was handy. Lion King is probably in my top then, but probably because I've only seen about 10 Disney films.
