    In other news, that ridiculous 40" Sharp tv is fecked and not in a good way.

    As long as you want to watch programmes in 5 minute chunks with a minute of intermission it's perfect.

    Other than when it goes completely tits up and shows a screen half black (upper half) and half green (lower half).

    Most entertaining.

    I've reset it to factory and retuned it.

    We shall see what transpires forthwith.

      a senior moment??
      More to do with double-checking the international payment details on the invoice I was preparing for this maps thing

      Dinner, once it arrived, was pork chops, chips, peas, and gravy. Seems like a while since I had that, though it's probably only two or three weeks. Anyway, inordinately nice

        My Samsung telly occasionally goes weird, with fragments of whatever was being watched the previous time it was turned off interspersed with many green patches. I sometimes wonder if basing televisions on crappily-written software was such a good idea

        Anyway, a reset usually sorts it out, and keeps me occupied for a few minutes turning off motion smoothing and what-have-you all over again

          Tonight's televisual entertainment, apart from some more Ambulance whilst eating, was a further episode of Engrenages aka Spiral.

          Goodnight all

              Yes it is less than inspiring.

              Today's task is rather more mundane than the trip to the metropolis of Newport yesterday, being an eye test at 09:30.

              The excitement is palpable.
              When the fun stops, STOP.

                    To get the bike into Broadgate you have to go through a cycle air lock.

                    I had to let in a new cyclist. They had a tag for their bike. But access card not set up for the air lock.

                    A miracle how banks make any money as they f**k everything up.

                    Oh wait. Its a monopoly. I forgot.

                    Just off for some champers and swans wings.....
