Morning. It is grey here.

The sea in Bournemouth looks calm .

I was filling in an online form for my friend yesterday. He doesn't know what a computer looks like!
After filling in what bits I could see it came up with " Error!" Certain parts hadn't been ticked! . The reason why I hadn't ticked the boxes was because they were invisible ! . If they were that important why didn't they highlight them !

Sorry ! Me and computers again !
A young lady just rang me up saying that she was from Microsoft computers. I said Thanks and goodbye and put the phone down . I just don't believe anyone any more !

Why don't they make disaster movies a bit more life-like ?
Just imagine that the hero has only moments to log onto his computer to save the world and discovers that it has just had a download !

They're designed that way deliberately to grind down your resistance so you use a computer next time.

If you don't believe this you have to assume they're made by incompetents and that can't possibly be the case.

We get this vary rarely here because cold calling is illegal in Germany, but every now and again one comes through.

What I can't get is that they still speak in English: seriously, do they think Microsoft doesn't employ German speakers?

It's been raining here as well.

My get-up-and-go has gone missing. If anyone has seen it, can they please give it back.

A couple new marathon supreme tyres 32mm have arrived. Good puncture protection and reasonable speed, plus comfort from wider tyre.

I've just picked the dead (hard luck if it wasn't) spider off the ceiling with one of those grabber thingies used for picking stuff up off floors and fed the spider to the plant. I'm not joking, the jaws shut a few seconds after!

The battery in my mouse just died.
