I'm doing no more work this afternoon after the crappy emails (Director sent another) so I've complained to my Director. Ballcocks to them.

Can you not find a fault in your computer that means the IT guy needs to fix.

No - user error - warned a colleague via email (was intended for a very limited audience), said person forwarded email to someone else, who then forwarded it to stupid Director.

Hence, don't say anything in confidence via email - that's why the big boss promises stuff to folk verbally - then there is no evidence when promises aren't kept.

New pen time. There's a place a short walk from Manchester Victoria that sells them.

He'd be all right on an Indy circuit then.

Or on a short oval

Lovely lunch of alphabet soup, a tiger roll with ham and some grapes.

Finally found the gift bags - they were, for some inexplicable reason, in the drawer with my cycling gear. So specials all sorted for Saturday.

Was about to put them in the car so the girls can't get to the toys, and the tailgate lock decides to go "pyoingggggg". Managed to jury rig it so the thing stays locked, but a quick word with the garage and I have a new lock on order, as well as the tyres I need as per the MOT advisory.

First rule of management that.

All, I may break the internet shortly. The new BT hub has arrived with this fancy mesh disc - only issue is kicking family off tinternet for 10 minutes = World War 3

Last time I checked (about 5 mins ago) I was purely non electric.

On more mundane matters....

I buggered up my laptop keyboard at the weekend ( tried to clean it and things didn't go so well) I ordered a new one and it arrived this afternoon. I doesn't fit. Possibly, probably, my fault. However it does actually work even if it's a trifle unconventional:

The correct one, ( I hope) is on the way to me even as I type this on my very wobbly and flexible keyboard.

Neither to do with your previous post?

I have made the catastrophic mistake of purchasing a packet of McVities Gold. "A crunchy biscuit bar with a unique gold coating". They are without a single shadow of a doubt the nastiest example of confection I have ever had the misfortune of attempting to consume.

Did it actually stop you eating them? I’m trying to conceive how “bad” a biscuit would have to be to stop my sweet tooth!

I didn't break the 'internet' it was off for a couple of minutes - mainly waiting for the router to boot. Changed the SSID back to the old name (same name as the hub we had years ago - as I know the passcode in my iccle brain - plus you don't have to re-connect all the stuff in the house). Got the Mesh disk set up OK - you literally plug it into the hub via cat5, let it do it's stuff, then unplug and go and put it where wifi isn't great - like in my garage. Think I'll ask for another as it's right on the limit of the range, but gives great signal in the garage.
