    HAB thinks to himself, "what the frak is SHL?" and goes off to Google.

    Psychopath testing! After scoring 36 on the Asperger test earlier today I think I'll keep as far away as possible from things like that.

    Owing to all the flights back to the UK being full, I'm spending the next 13 hours on a ferry. It's looking a bit choppy out there too.

    If there is a pentangle drawn on the wall, don't leave the path when you are walking home.

    I've never been considered a 'local' since I moved from the small somerset town I grew up in, so will be no different to anywhere else!

    Can't be worse than going into small 'local' pubs in west yorkshire by yourself and making it out alive !!

    After a long pause, the barman asks, "are you local ?"

    "Why yes!" you cheerily reply, "We've just moved into the village!"

    ...

    Have you ever seen Straw Dogs ?

    Last week I planed to apply n-months worth of patches to my server but in the end I was too afraid to do it. I'll wait until the next holiday weekend in case something goes horridly wrong.

    What I fancy doing is some arty stuff. I need a consistent 'look' to the website and letter heads, invoices, research reports, etc. I can't afford to get a professional to do it, so I'm going to have a go myself.

    Someone did suggest to me ages ago to get a student to do it. Part of their course work, or something they can put into a portfolio when they are out looking for their first 'proper' job.
