I have just upgraded my laptop
No news there, then. But I have taken out its single 160GB hard drive and replaced it with a 1TB hard drive. It has but one disk drive bay and one disk drive. As a long term PC user you can bet I was apprehensive, especially in case it meant days of reinstallation of software.
It took me a very short time to do it. My laptop is a Mac.
I bought a new drive and a docking station to power it. I
Hague, Cameron, If you seriously think we care about anything except your abi...
Don't you just love the squirming of politicians as they try to avoid things that are simply not slurs?
Mr Hague said in the statement that he accepted "in hindsight" he should have realised there might be speculation about the fact he and his special adviser Christopher Myers occasionally shared a twin hotel room during the election campaign.
No there should be no such speculation. The man is a
The William Hague "I am not gay" statement's tone is disgusting
I don't care if Hague is heterosexual, homosexual or shags sofas. But I find his statement about some sort of allegation that he was in a romantic relationship with Chris Myers has an offensive tone.
Christopher Myers has demonstrated commitment and political talent over the last 18 months. He is easily qualified for the job he holds. Any suggestion that his appointment was due to an improper
Le Diamant visited Dartmouth today
I don't have a huge number of details, but what I have, plus more pictures and some videos, are here.
She isn't the prettiest ship in the world, and she sure isn't the largest, nor did she stay very long.
I have no idea who Glenn Beck is, nor what the honor is that he wishes to be ...
However it perturbs me when a TV show host (I used Wikipedia to find out) is seen as a messianic figure and can draw a vast crowd for a rally. It feels a bit like Graham Norton filling Hyde Park, and that is simply a bizarre idea unless it's for his TV show. To me it feels like some sort of abuse of position for a TV celebrity to pull some sort of rally together.
I tried hard to work out what
Good customer service from the Dartmouth Steam Railway and River Boat Company...
On Sunday She Who Must Be Obeyed and a friend and I spent a large sum of money on an excursion on the river, bus and train, the Round Robin excursion, with the Dartmouth Steam Railway and River Boat Company. We know that the open topped bus does not run every day, but our disappointment about it not running on Sunday, especially since we and a substantial number of others were queueing outside
HMS Quorn is Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta Guard Ship for 2010
She arrived today. To be fair she isn't the prettiest ship on the Royal Navy, but she's technically a marvel.
Here she is coming in just below the Lower Ferry
And here she is a bit nearer.
And there are videos and other stuff on her Ship Spotting World page, including a video of her coming past the Dartmouth Yacht Club.
Dartmouth Regatta 2010
Ok, this isn't intended to be typical of the Dartmouth Regatta, but the 2010 event has had rain. But we've had a great evening sitting in our front room listening to the Regatta Rock evening. This is the first song that Mercury (Queen tribute band) played in their encore tonight.
Just after it at about 1am the Dart RNLI lifeboat went out on a shout. What a dreadful evening. I did wish "We Are
Those photos of Glebe Cottage in Callow End
I promised you some photos of the bucolic idyll of Glebe Cottage in Callow End on Worcestershire. I'm sure both my readers remember Glebe Cottage. This is the one where She Who Must Be Obeyed booked a holiday in through English Country Cottages, and this is the one that she rejected as soon as she stepped through the door.
I'll let you judge how clean the place is. The pictures should, if I've
Is Pussy Bin Lady real?
Doesn't she sound like a terrorist? But the facts are simple, probably! The BBC tells us that Daryl Mann set up a security camera to cover his wheelie bin in Coventry and filmed some random woman shoving his cat into it. Hence 'Pussy Bin Lady'.
Here's the video:
Now, why would anyone aim a cctv camera at a rubbish bin?
Am I the only cynic wondering if this is a setup?
Still, we have the
Sorry, GCSE students, you are part of a huge con trick
You've worked as hard as you can. You've been taught as well as your teachers can, and you're part of another two percentage points rise in the highest grades in today's results. Your individual achievements I applaud.
But you know, with an A or an A*, that all the others with that grade, perhaps even you, do not deserve it. And you know that, because so many others are getting top grades, that
Sainsbury's, why do you make life so hard?
I know. It has to be my fault because I am the customer. That's always the impression I'm left with whenever I use the home groceries delivery service. And this morning was no exception. We had stress injected into our day by the Sainsbury's delivery man. And they have only just deigned to deliver to us in Dartmouth.
The previous two Sainsbury's men and all the Tesco men have delivered to our
And don't even get me started on makeup!
If you're ugly, ladies, no amount of makeup is going to help you get laid! Beer is what you need. After four pints your target man thinks you are Miss World. Which means you don't even need to pray for World Peace or work with children and old people. Beer goggles mean you are drop dead gorgeous. And, in the morning, he'll have a hangover, so he won't even know you look like you hit every branch
Why do women hate to smell normal?
Last night I walked into town under an umbrella in our downpour. It was after 10 and almost no-one was about. The funfair hadn't even bothered to open, the weather was that wet! Coming towards me under another umbrella was a couple to whom I paid no attention until they passed me. The woman stank!
Even worse than that she'd [aid a lot of money to stink! This was a parfum so strong that it
Cover it up in case we frighten the horses!
Facebook, bless them, have seen fit to remove Kylie Minogue's bear, according to Brody Levesque. He says that this is puritanism, and I think he's got a point. Unlike that bear, of course! It has a microphone instead.
Some pinhead at Facebook seems to have come over all coy at seeing the diminutive Aussie songbird grasping a microphone.
And that takes me back several years to Yahoo and its
