Dear BBC/iTunes people

Why oh why do you insist on putting this twat in the comedy section…..

He may have a funny personality, but he is not comedy. Insulting people isn’t comedic, when he attempts comedy it’s shite.

So please whoever is in charge remove it. And maybe substitute it with some of those comedies from Radio 7 or some of the other shows on Radio 4

(I really do not read the D*ily M*il – It just sounds like I do)

London Midland Trains are….

…shit

So here’s the proof.

So there we have it, a fairly normal piss poor week at the hands of London Midland. Apparently they are French owned, is it possible to hate them more?

Macbook – gone for repair :(

Tis nothing too serious, the Macbook is working fine. However the palm rest area of the keyboard had developed a crack.

(not my Macbook, the spilt is in the same place – but not broken off yet).

So I have no Mac Laptop now, It’s given me a chance to play with Linux on my ‘work’ Toshiba laptop. It runs o.k., but it’s no OS X. Plus it’s a big chunky thing as well. Keyboard feels horrible, that said it is a Toshiba so it will probably never break. Also despite it being of a cheapo plastic construction it’ll probably never have bits flaking off.

Wonder if I can Hackintosh it?

/edit Took it to the Apple Store in Solihull, and they are fixing it for tomorrow 🙂 FOC 🙂

(I did take it back to John Lewis previously as that’s where it came from)

/edit, obviously tomorrow meant Tuesday as they didn’t have the parts 🙁 We’ll see 😐

So, what’s been happening

I guess some are wondering how things are.

Well, baby has yet to arrive – Currently 4 days late. My spawn is obviously being sponsored by London Midland ‘Train’ company.

Also been fairly busy at work, last few days been on early starts, so I’m a bit knackered.

So nothing to report…………….

Dad’s first play with Vista

Slight moan. Dad was using Vista to view photos on media player. When he had finished viewing, he tried to close media player down. Media player didn’t play ball and decided to lock up.

So Dad’s first play with Vista ended up with a Ctrl-Alt Del and kill media player via Task Manager.

I know I’m going to get so many calls regarding that piece of shit call vista. If it pisses me off too much I’m going to stick XP on it.

That Media Player front end is no Front Row
