My Sky+ fucked up this afternoon, I got a little worried as my warranty has expired on the box and new ones cost around £150-£200. After doing a reset the problems remained so I rung the customer help line. There I was told it is a known problem at their end and is being worked on. Phew – not my box.
Looking on Digital Spy it turns out this has happened before and some people believe it is Sky pissing about with the EPG Software.
Now Sky, if you’re going to experiment with the software fine, but why do it at a potential busy period for your customers? The Manchester derby just finishing, being followed by an FA Cup game on Sky Sports and the England – France rugby game was being shown on BBC1. Mind you, looking at the result, the English Sky viewers unable to watch the game are probably glad they missed out!
It would make a lot more sense to piss about with the software at a time like 3am when only drunks, drug addicts and the unemployable are watching TV.
Sky+ is one of the best inventions in the history of entertainment and a brilliant piece of equipment – when it works! I am yet to hear from somebody who has had it over 6 months and not experienced any problems. Sky and the box manufacturers have a lot to answer for in my opinion!
Anyway, I’ll leave you on that angry note with this link – it’s a totally bizarre Flash animation, probably created by somebody with more than a few screws loose. It’s funny because it’s so insane!

- 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.
