That was very quick. I had anticipated a long period of Ukraine being cut off. It is spring/summer after all. Most perplexing.

Slept through all my alarms, like a police cruiser going through a pile of cardboard boxes in an alleyway. 11 hours asleep.

How is the Democrat infighting playing out over there? Do you think t would be wiser to bury the differences and get behind Bam?

I don't know if it's a bug, but a 'certain' online store not too long ago was selling earphones for a penny.

That is what I have been telling people all my life. Does anyone listen? Nope. What? I can't hear you when you speak from under that duvet.

Good luck to PigTale. It's a hard life, but I've several friends who wouldn't quit if you shot them. Literally. And that's ins spite of having the education and opportunities to work in just about any profession.

I must say that it isn't doing Hillary any favours. The coverage over here has made Obama look gracious at each tussle, while she looks more and more desperate.

I think there's a massive amount of Euroweenie going on. We're always saying OMG Amerika is the worst EVAR, without any real concept of a) the bad stuff we've done b) the bad stuff we'd have had to do if the Yanks didn't do it for us c) the bad stuff being done by the people we claim to admire d) good ol' fashioned inferiority complex Basically, I don't think Euroweenies poke at US politics for any purpose other than trying to knock it, and make themselves feel superior.

I'm just hoping that the guy playing him can cope.

It's no worse than people debating what the Royal family should and shouldn't do. It's not as if we have any choice in that either.

I've been trying to work out why I look tired all teh time trhese days, until I realised I am just getting old.

I don't see all the fuss. what with all the loafing about and beer my blood is practically kobe beef blood. On the other hand, _airforce_ blood. Blimey.

A further 25% cut, presumably in light of a lukewarm response by Europe to the first 25%. Bloody useless Brown.

Not if the many are very small and thin, and the few are very large and fat.

Would people prefer he was giving out free cookies? Jeez, tough crowd!

The old charger is in Bristol (a long way away by European standards). As I say, the machine is an old compaq, and my colleagues insist no replacements are locally available.

I thank you. Ukraine gas supplies cut by 25%.

Damn you. Damn you all the way to hell.

Since I don't have a clever closing remark, I am going to borrow Gromnirs (without asking him no less)... There is another thread discussing the company and it's games http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=49079 gromnir for teh win on this occasion.

Ladies and gentlemen, the task is to get enough power into an old compaq laptop to get the existing files off. We have no charger and a deadline of 14:00 GMT. IDEAS: 1. Heat battery - to what temperature? For how long? ...

Further interesting questio: do people get bored in heaven and start causing trouble?

New contract begins today. Up at this ungodly hour to make certain I get to work. What the hell is wrong with my life-planning? I'd intended by this stage to be taking it totally easy, and working all from home. Instead if I'm not charging off to some meeting at the other endof the country I'm bloody charging about Salisbury plain in a truck and whatnot. *grumble grumble stupid me* I've lost no weight whatever. But the weight I do have has changed consistency, and moved upwards.

Good effort. Hope that's through exercise not the diet formerly known as starvation. A bit of both. I have cut down and changed what I eat along with exercising. Very wise.

Steve, that's for you poor sots out in the drylands. I suppose one could drink wine without food, but why do so? Good food and good wine go together. As one of my French colleagues woudl say, to have one without the other is [censored].
