Ill

Christ, I feel terrible. Off work again for the second time in three weeks. Think it must be Glandular fever – others have had it recently. Still, it gives me plenty of time to loll in bed and do nothing other than type for a few days, which is no bad thing given some of the things going on at the moment! More on that in another post.

Still, I’m lying in bed tapping away while the battery lasts on the laptop and listening to my IPod which is hooked up to my Logic3 speakers which I bought a couple of weeks back. Have set it to shuffle through the 960–odd songs I have on there and it is throwing up some great ones.

Just had Star by Primal Scream. And now The Only Living Boy in New Cross by Carter USM! Excellent!

Llanymynech

A small, and pretty poor, photo I took with my camera phone while yomping round Llanymynech a couple of weeks back.

Driving Hell

Had a pretty good drive to work this morning – right up until I reached Henley. Between there and Warwick, I and about 30 others were trapped behind some numpty doing 40 in a 60 the whole way. Meant I missed out on one of the decent parking spaces and so I will be a fair bit later home from work today. Bastards. Why do they do it?

WHY???

Interesting article in today’s Guardian Online supplement:

On Tuesday, parliamentary questions revealed that the cost of running Inland Revenue tax credits has risen tenfold over four years. Also this week, an influential committee of MPs reported that many government bodies ignore one of the main measures introduced to prevent IT disasters.
