MrsA uses netflix on this computer which is a Intel Celeron E3200 @ 2.40GHz 40 °C Wolfdale 45nm Technology and 1024MB GeForce 9500 GT (XFX Pine Group) 68 °C with 2 gig of ram and hasn't complained about it. Although, I don't know how this affects your situation.

Probably not much, unless you've just revealed MrsA's secret identity.

Just caught the postman filling out a "sorry you aren't in" form despite the office door being unlocked. Didn't knock, didn't even try the door. Was watching him the whole time. Lazy fucker.

MrsA said "Seeing as you are ill today, do something useful and sort out a honeymoon".

I have decided it is best we go to malaysia and go on the trains to places. Job done.

There was a 2 part intro to one season as a special episode thing once, I think they ignored the time on that one.

If there was one thing I'd prefer for a new season it would be to drop the slavish regard for the time, which has led to ever increasing ridiculous scenarios ever since the first series.

Create a route in directions, click save to my maps in the bottom left and select create new map.
Create the next route, click save to my maps again and choose the same map you just created.
same again

That should give you a map with the three separate routes on it. Not sure if you can colour them independently though.

Indeed. What the fuck is wrong with this place today.

We need to attract some web traffic. What are the kids into these days?


See naked Thompson Twins videos here.



There that should up our traffic levels.

Sorry, you had to queue for 2.5 hours to go on "It's a small world"?

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/disney_world_srich_kid_outrage_zTBA0xrvZRkIVc1zItXGDP

When I went in 1992 that was the only ride you could pretty much get on instantly.

I'm not sure what is meant to cause outrage here. Disabled people hiring themselves out, or the fact they are not overtly advertising, and only the rich can afford them.

So, let me get this straight. This is a story about something someone has possibly done, that is backed by a phone number that you conveniently can't call, that is run by people they didn't get an answer from, who have subsequently denied it.

Neatly linking the two things (Disneyland and universal healthcare), whilst I was waiting for MrsA to come out of the minor injuries unit the other week, I came to thinking that it'd be great if you could pay in non-triage situations to jump the queue. I then got to thinking that this might mean some people would never get seen, and that would be unfair.

So, instead, I thought about paying the parents to keep their kids outside the hospital grounds and don't let them see anyone until I am in and out. I'm all for fairness, me.

Be careful when buying merino to try and buy from non-mulesed sources. Most merino from Italy and much from Australia/New Zealand is mulesed.
