Given the recent interest in keyboard cleanliness I sprayed my lappy with a bit of compressed air...it's happy now, no more dust and eraser bits; it still has sticky keys tho :tease:

Destruction will rain down upon the land…… Ye shall harken thunder from the sky to deafen thee, and lightening to blind thee. There shall be deluge and flooding of the land, and the wrath of the almighty will be upon thee…… The oceans of the world will boil up into a turbulent mass, casting a violent tempest onto the land and there shall be destruction and devastation everywhere…

But the afternoon will be warm and sunny…

(Something I wrote many years ago for a famous TV pair )

I've got the original words I typed CR, If I can't scan it then I'll re type it and send it. It even gives a bit of direction, not that they needed it... :doh:

I had a total idiot encounter today. I was leaving Sport Chek, a sporting goods store, and this man was walking in.

Him (talking to me): Hi!
Me: Um, hi.
Him (kind of laughing): What happened to YOU?
Me (kind of taken aback): Excuse me?
Him: What HAPPENED to YOU?!
Me: NONE OF YOUR f*@kING BUSINESS.
Him: (speechless, walks away)

WTF is wrong with some people?

As if that wasn't enough, me and friend fell down the stairs to her house tonight. She has 4 really big concrete steps going up into her house, a typical downtown Toronto house. She's helping me down in my chair and her husband was standing behind us just about to help and I decided I was just gonna try to bump down the stairs in my chair, holding onto the railing, going forwards. Somehow, as she grabbed the front of my chair to kind of help, she lost her balance, my chair went tipping over backwards and we both went tumbling down the stairs. It was more funny than anything else because I somehow just stayed in my chair as it went down the stairs and clung to the railing so I didn't actually get hurt and she just landed on her ass backwards, her legs kind of going over her head. The whole street could probably hear us laughing. I'm still laughing about it. Ridiculous.

Woopwoopwoop!!!!

My old bathroom is being ripped out and the new one (with wonderful shower of joy) is being fitted next week. Can't tell you how excited it is to see an end of 4 years of washing in the kitchen sink!

Copyright and licensing issues, I think. I'm not sure, but I know that sites like youtube, hulu and googlevideo will check your IP address. If the video in question was posted officially by the owner of the material, and is something that is free-to-air in say the US but shown on a pay-to-view channel in the UK and Germany, then you can watch it if your IP address is in the US, not if it's in the UK or Germany. DVD release schedules might also play a role: if it's around the time the DVD comes out in the US, a snippet might be permitted to be available in the US, but not elsewhere.

Of course, many people post illegal copies of material, and production companies or broadcasters will seek them out and have them removed. The copies. Not the people.

Wow. I'm a huge fan of the Ronnies. What was it like hearing them perform your scripts?

They had so many classic sketches.

I have had a boring time of it. Short hospital stay, still dealing with the effects of that bout of fifth disease, then a lot of piled-up housework including a small flood to deal with. My Mam visited, which was great, but then it was back to boring work.

The worst things was that I had no internet, which meant no apparelyzed. Cold Turkey's hard!

Good job you couldn't see who was snuggled behind me qbounce!!.... :)

My thought for the day.

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.
Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow.
In fact, just bugger off and leave me alone. ... :lmao:

Actually, this is literal and metaphorical. I had friends that walked in front of me and wouldn't walk fast enough or stop suddenly. They didn't walk in front of me anymore.. :lol:
