The fire alarm control panel in the hall has started beeping at us all, complaining of a power fault. This is somewhat unconvincing, as the message is communicated through the medium of a yellow LED labelled “Power Fault” which is adjacent to a green LED labelled “Power” which is still glowing brightly

I used the magic code to try to reset it, but no joy. Still, I was at least able to turn the constant beeping off.

I texted the landlord, who phoned me back for a more detailed description of the problem. He’s decided he’ll come and have a look in the morning. Let’s hope nobody burns the place down tonight

The rain, hail, murrain of beasts, and old women & sticks has returned with a vengeance.

I thought a day and a half of fine weather was too much to expect.

I'm always pleased to find that the house hasn't burned down around me when I wake in the morning.

Currently enjoying yet more eps of S2 of BTVS.

What is it with Septic college fraternities?

They seem to be similar to the Bullingdon club with extra satanism.

Chicken tikka masala (out of the freezer) with rice and naan (not out of the freezer) for tea

The recycling bin’s trundling is already done, as I took it out once I’d investigated the fire alarm.

Sill no rain, but it’s quite cloudy out now and the radar reckons it might make its way here about midnight

'ere. You train users. Question for you. Booked in to quiet carriage down to London. Someone sat in my seat wouldn't move because there were plenty others so I sat elsewhere. By Milton Keynes the carriage was full so had to move to the next one. No biggie really.

What's the etiquette here though? Make a scene and call the train manager or just sit elsewhere hoping there is a special place in hell for these types of people?

Never had this happen fortunately and always wondered what I'd do! I know I'd be mightily pissed off.

It's a bit like when you have allocated seating in the cinema and people try to move during the ads/trailers on the assumption that people won't turn up closer to the film start time. Saw this happen just a couple of weeks ago in Curzon. This couple moved into what turned out to be occupied seats but the the lads who had those seats were happy to sit elsewhere. Except they then sat in seats that belonged to someone else and ... trump card ... that person had impaired mobility! So several sets of people had to shuffle about for no good reason just because one selfish couple didn't like the seats they picked.

They ended up back in their allotted seats.
