Come back to us, Ken! We know you can do it! I can't put pictures on Photobucket. I have no idea why not. I tried getting a Flickr account but that doesn't work either. I must have fiddled a setting that stops files being uploaded via Firefox. I wonder what it is. Also it's started crashing again at very specific places- particularly cracked.com.. I switched off all my plugins- that fixed it last time but this time it doesn't. I dunno what to do with it. This is the PC I'm leaving at home when I go off to KAUST, so I'd like to fix the problem before I go. If I can't find out what's wrong I doubt my mum can. -Nick |

Ken says he may never leave the loft. Is that because you took the ladder away?  |

No.

He had to come down in the end because he was getting dehydrated and needed a drink.
He took photos. And video.

It is a might sight - can mere video actually contain it?
I decided to follow some good advice this week and have presented my colleagues with a fait accompli - I went in and informed them that I was taking some of my accumulated flexi-time and using it on Thursday to leave early, yes? (except without the talking like Death's Head obviously). So hopefully my remaining AA preparation will start somewhat earlier than planned.
Mind you, I have already been into the attic to identify a suitable suitcase, and test-fitted the clothes and what-not that I am bringing down so that I know how much spare space I will have. Now all I need to do is do the proper packing tomorrow by taking the pile and slotting it into place and I will be all ready to go.
Hopefully I shall be able to put my feet up by tomorrow evening and look forward to the coming weekend.

Did some cleaning in the flat today. It smells nice and fresh. Not had much luck shifting the mould between the shower tiles though and tried a few techniques via the magic of internet searches. I look forward to the bollocking from the letting agency after next Tuesday's inspection. Away Friday-very late Monday so it needed done now as I want to chill out tomorrow.
Bag for AA is packed, just need to throw toiletries in it Friday morning. I lack a suitcase so bringing the holdall but have thrown some bubblewrap in it to protect any prospective toy purchases on the journey back so the bag looks much more full than it actually is!
I'm in a deeply distressed state a lot right now so frankly cannot wait to get away from it all for 4 days and not have to talk or think about my problems.

Now that I have got myself mostly sorted out I put my feet up this evening and sat down to read some of Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing, on kind loan from a friend.
Oh my, that it some absolutely superb writing. When he is on form Alan Moore is superb. The art is rather nice as well.
I suspect I shall be reading some more of it tomorrow morning before I go to work, and that the promise of concluding the second collection in the evening will quite nicely get me through the working day.
Looking forward to putting things in their place tomorrow and having a weekend of plastic jobs, banter and change of perspective.

I barely slept last night. It reminded me of the torment of trying to fall asleep on xmas eve when I was wee. Anticipation coupled with my perennial insomnia is a wonderful thing. I could be speaking in tongues come Sunday!

Hello people. This past week I was ill. Then I knocked myself out. Then I did my back in.
I do have a sexy new TV to cheer me up though.

Well, I did get out of the office at 4pm this afternoon - after running about fairly crazily trying to get things sorted out before I left.
Unfortunately the train journey home was....not ideal. Crammed into a small space in a corner of the corridoor between two carriages, not even close to a window, with many other people crammed in with me and without any airconditioning on the train.
I will be so very glad when Edinburgh Festival season is over...
Fortunately I had the second trade of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run to look forward to, and that thought tided me over the worst of the journey.

Also it's started crashing again at very specific places- particularly cracked.com.. I switched off all my plugins- that fixed it last time but this time it doesn't. I dunno what to do with it. Nick, for some reason Firefox is buggered on my laptop after several joyful years. I've switched to Google Chrome and haven't looked back since. It's fast as hell and far more user-friendly. |

Phil is engaged in last minute aa prep......
..... and is wondering if Liz's decision to have the new bedroom carpet fitted this morning was a terribly good one. Law of sod invoked itself and I ended up spending the night on the floor of jonathan's room.

How did you knock yourself out?! Hope you're feeling better anyway. Feeling much better ta. Actually think it was just what I needed. Anyway I'd slipped on some water from one of the cat's bowls... and then vaguely remember my head bouncing between a wall and a door. Not the most productive week really but oh well. Enjoy Auto Assembly people. |
