I finally received my insurance payout from the MoreThan dog. In case you have forgotten, back in August I had a little mishap involving a glass of beer and my laptop. Suffice to say, my old machine is now in Lappy Heaven.
The payout was rather generous – £550 (although I did have to fork out £100 excess). The credit was in a form of a voucher for PC World. I eagerly walked down to the shop, clutching my voucher. As Homer Simpson would put it “I was like a kid in some kind of a store”.
I found a lovely Compaq laptop for only £400 – miles better than my last machine in every possible way – apart from an annoying little application known as Windows Vista, which came pre-loaded; I can live with that, after-all, I’ll have to support it one day.
As the laptop cost only £400, I was left with £150 store credit. What should I buy? 3 Xbox 360 games? My weight in DVDRs? A whole tree worth of printing paper? A Windows XP CD (to get rid of Vista)? No, I bought a lovely, new “Slim & Light PlayStation Portable” with Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Thank you Mr. Insuranceman. You made me very, very happy!

- A Sticky Decision
Considering that Leeds are now a Premier League team, is it time to start collecting stickers again?
... - I Was Going To Blog
... but my laptop has decided to perform the biggest update in the world.
It's been stuck on 27% since what feels like the year 1927, so your guess is as good as mine as to when it will finish and allow me to blog again.
... - KWYJIBO
I found an IQ Test online today.
I must admit - it was a lot shorter and easier than the one Bart cheated on, during that episode of The Simpsons, some stupidly long time ago! Despite its age, I am yet to see a Kwyjibo on a David Attenborough documentary.
There are only three questions in this... - Power Cut
I had a power cut today. I'm pointing the finger of blame at Storm Hannah. Bitch.
Losing electricity is always a shocking and distressing experience. It's up there with your water being cut off, or a sudden disappearances of all oxygen and air.
Imagine if I had been blogging at the time of the thoughtless power interruption.... - Happy Birthday To… ??? (Part 1)
March 12th.
It was a very special birthday yesterday...
You may already be aware of who it was for - if not, perhaps you noticed the rather jazzy Google logo?
In case you still don't know what the hell I am on about, the Internet turned 30 yesterday... although there are many who still question the correct date...
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
