    That's very odd

    Just looking at an Adobe product in their online store. You have the option of either having the actual boxed thingy sent to you, or downloading it.

    The download is more expensive

    Surely the download should be cheaper, as no physical goods are involved?

      I have had to put the heating on.

      Earlier today it was 29C.

      We suddenly dropped to 16C while the sun was still up.

      I've had to go round closing doors & windows & bleeding radiators.

      The heating has been on for 2 hours now and I've got the temperature up in the office (the warmest room in the house) back up to the 16C it was when the heating first went on.

      It has gone really, really cold outside.

        I was quite surprised coming back from London the other week - I had a first class advance ticket which was only valid for a specific train (reasonable enough for £17). Unfortunately I'd forgotten how far it now is to get a UK train since they put all the foreign-bound trains at the end nearest the Underground, and missed my train by about a minute.

        Checking with one of the train company people, they said it was OK, they'd let me use it on the next train departing a few minutes later

        I was sure they were going to sting me for full fare... good for them say I
        Bring back British Rail... it would save billions in subsidy.

        My train tonight passes through...


        Wait for it...













        it's getting there...











        Yes.... almost there....
















        Wilmsloooooooooow.


        Milford Haven to Manchester, stopping at major stations like Cwmbran and Leominister.... but not forgetting Wilmsloooooooooow!

            It's global warming, mate, bound to be... watch out for the looming glaciers...

              I celebrated my first week as a rail commuter by buying myself a folding umberella thingie from Woolies....

              It's funny how I do most of my shopping in Lidl, Woolies, Wilkinsons, and the much lamented & now departed Bookends.

                    I hadn't voted.

                      The station is a long way from anywhere helpful in Swansea.
