What’s worse than the constant stream of spam into your mailbox?

**** French Spam that’s what!

Looks like someone wants to get outside.

Unfortunately, Tilly is only 4 months old, and can’t go outside until she’s spayed at 6 months.

Here’s a question: Why do all insurance adverts have the small print at the bottom of the screen “Excludes Northern Ireland”?

What do people in Northern Ireland do for insurance?

This is my daughter Emily. She was born today.

Isn’t she gorgeous!

Look who arrived today:

She’s 9 weeks old and her name is Tilly.

Here’s a crazy thought: Since most cooking times on microwaves are in whole minutes, wouldn’t it be a great idea to make the rotation of the table tie in with whole minutes, so that at the end of the cooking time, the jug (or whatever container) is still facing the same way as when you put it in, instead of having to reach around the back of the oven to get to the handle.

If you’ve added your CD collection to iTunes, but wish you could have the album covers displayed like tracks downloaded from ITMS, take a look at this site. Find your cover and (if you’re using a Mac) simply drag the picture from the browser to the CD cover window on iTunes.

While waiting in the Car Park of B&Q Warehouse in Bolton yesterday, I saw something that is becoming increasingly common.

An inconsiderate driver in a black customised Vauxhall Astra (speaks for itself really) parked diagonally across one of the disabled spaces. Not surprisingly, when he gets out, neither he nor any of his passengers showed any signs of a disability – well not physical anyway.

Today, the Variable Message Signs (VMS) at M62 J8 were showing:

“A1(M) J48, Accident”

Considering that this is 69 miles away (as the crow flies) this has got to be applauded, except that they were unable to warn that the sliproads from the M602 to M60 were closed on Friday night, causing a 14 mile diversion, which could have been avoided by coming off the M602 at the junction before.

I think it’s crap that Intuit can’t come up with a UK version of Quicken for Mac.

I am forced to keep an old PC running just for this software, yet once again, the US customers are catered for. It’s not exactly difficult to change a dollar sign to a pound sign. I’m not interested in any US specific tax stuff. I don’t need Quicken for that.
