^ - Should have a restful and relaxing weekend after a busy week

< - Was so tired and achey last night after working all day and then walking 4 miles home (in boots) I crashed out at 10pm and have just woke up. My bunion on my right foot is throbbing though after walking in boots

v - Managed to have a lie in this morning

Death · Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 1:43 pm Post subject:

^ - Doesn't seem to do too well on nice walks, although will benefit a lot from them if she gets into the habit of doing them regularly! Cool

(Trust me...I used to walk the five miles between Yateley and Blackwater twice daily for two years, and it's from that which I take my ability to walk long distances at speed! Twisted Evil

)

< - Is currently staying with a very close friend up in Derbyshire, and consequently hasn't had much time for surfing the 'net recently... Wink

V - Drives everywhere...Even down to the local corner shop! Shocked

< - Hopes the weather is a bit better tomorrow

v - Also hopes for nicer weather

Death · Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2009 10:31 pm Post subject:

^ - Is right...Provided that "nicer" weather constitutes temperatures below 0°F and plenty of snow! Twisted Evil

< - Is now starting to become rather concerned for his own safety (See thread in Anything Goes) and might have to change his name and other things soon. Thanks a bunch, Mum and Dad! Shocked

V - Thinks that I'm much more of a Worrier, then the Warrior that I ought to be! Rolling Eyes

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Should change his name by deed poll

< - Thinks Death should stop worrying

v - Also thinks Death should stop worrying

Death · Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2009 10:16 am Post subject:

< - Isn't as worried now about that name problem as he was previously, but all the same is very greatful to everyone for their support with it. Cool

V - Will post within 30 seconds of me submitting this one! Twisted Evil

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Is far too hot and needs to move to the north pole

< - Bored at work and considering going part time until I leave next week

v - Wants to be my packing fairy and help me move house

Death · Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 1:10 am Post subject:

^ - Could use some help moving house. I would offer to help, but - Aside from Shrewsbury being a bit of a commute from here - It's likely that I'm going to be having a major clear-out of my own very soon, too... Smile

< - Has come to the conclusion that - Like a Magpie - He's all too often attracted to "shiny" things, and that's probabally one reason why he never stays on task.
Conclusion: Let's get rid of all of the "shiny" things around here, and see if that helps! Cool

< - Knows that the above will (Probabally) mean ditching most/all of his computer equipment and Internet activities as well, but doesn't want to lose all of the "volatile" data (A good 8Gb worth) that he's crafted over the years.
Should I get rid of all of my PC equipment and do the job properly, or should I keep one machine around for video playback and swapping out data from my MP3 player? Neutral

V - Has similar data management problems to myself, but gets along with a secure and effective data archival procedure. Cool

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Should keep all his shiny objects

< - Trying to "wind down" at work now as I'll be leaving a week today. Still equally as busy though

v - Thinks I should be at home packing as opposed to working

Death · Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2009 10:46 pm Post subject:

^ - Might want to leave work, spend 1-2 weeks packing, and then move? It'd probabally be much easier than doing it all at once! Very Happy

< - Is planning to get rid of his computer "heap" soon, and keep only 2-3 machines for regular tasks...Once I've done that, I'll have managed to seize half of the bedroom from the clutches of the encroaching Legions of Chaos! Twisted Evil

< - As part of a self-management thing that he's thinking of trying, may soon start using a PC with just a mouse on it. Although it won't stop me doing the odd Twitter post, it'll nerf forum usage as I'm darned if I'm posting using the Windows OSK! Laughing

V - Dreads to think what I'd be like had I adopted the Mac insted of the PC... Shocked

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Knows much more about computers than I do and understands my frustration at using a mobile internet dongle

< - Is watching the Grand Prix qualifier Very Happy

v - Isn't watching the Grand Prix qualifier Sad

Death · Posted: Sat Jun 20, 2009 7:55 pm Post subject:

^ - Which Grand Prix? The "Official" one by Formulae-1, or the new one that McLaren and the other teams are setting up? Shocked

^ - Would be much better off with proper broadband, and should see about getting BT, Sky or Virgin Media broadband (I recommend the latter) in her new place. Smile

Dongles aren't just slower than normal consumer broadband, but the bandwidth limits and overcharges are much more constrictive too...Even BT give their customers 10Gb+ per month on a standard plan! Shocked

(If ye would like my advice on broadband and how various services and technologies differ, then please feel free to ask me! Smile

)

< - Knows FAR too much about computers...Yet still managed to crash Firefox four times this afternoon! Shocked

V - Still uses Microsoft Internet Exploiter for their web browsing! Surprised

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Thanks Colin, I'm only using the mobile dongle during the transition of moving house, as soon as we move next Friday Virgin Media will be coming round to activate the already installed line Very Happy

< - Is watching the build up to the Grand Prix today after a very productive morning of packing up, not much more to do now Cool

v - Thinks I should enjoy a nice glass (or bottle) of wine when all the packing up is finished

Death · Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 6:11 am Post subject:

^ - Aye, ye should. Also - If ye already have thy cable modem and PIN there, and thy cable line is active - Ye should be able to activate thy own broadband using the set-up CD provided. Smile

(VM Cable connections use the modem MAC address to identify the customer and their access rights...So once ye have an active line, the modem and PIN, the CD and a length of co-ax to hook the modem up to the cable point with, ye should be able to activate thy broadband using just thy laptop and a length of Cat-V network cable! Cool

)

< - Hopes that Bunnie has chosen VM's cable service and not their ADSL one...The cable service is great (Provided one runs nothing heavily DNS dependant!) but their ADSL wouldn't differ from that of any other provider. Neutral

V - Currently uses either Bee-T (The one kind of Bee that can sting ye repeatedly!) or Prices-as-high-as-the-Sky Broadband for their Internet access! Laughing

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Doesn't use BT for their internet service

< - Is only on half day at work today and tomorrow, yippee!!

v - Thinking about the impending heatwave we are meant to have

Death · Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2009 9:52 am Post subject:

^ - Only got one days wages for two days at work! Sad

< - Dreads the impending heatwave enough...But not nearly as much as he dreads the impending onset of the "iPod Generation"... Evil or Very Mad

V - Is a member of this so-called "iPod Generation", and can't see just how they've effectively sold their lives and Soul to Apple Computer... Shocked

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Is not a member of the Ipod generation

< - Will be enjoying the sunshine this afternoon in town where I will be having a browse and buying a little something

v - Is now wondering what I am buying

Death · Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2009 9:06 pm Post subject:

^ - Had a browse in town earlier this afternoon. This was followed by a return home, and a second browse on her PC! Laughing

< - Spoke to his other half on the 'phone for a little longer than intended, and it looks like he's now - Despite his "Talk Unlimited" call-plan - Going to get chinged full whack for a 65 minute call. Thanks a bunch, Virgin... Rolling Eyes

V - Thinks that nowadays, Virgin ought to consider adding the letter A to the end of their name! Shocked

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Misses his other half very much

< - Dreading work tomorrow because they will probably work me like a mule on my last day

v - Thinks I shouldn't bother to buy leaving cakes considering they have been so nasty to me for so long

Death · Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2009 10:02 pm Post subject:

^ - Being worked like a Mule? Try suggesting This to them as a replacement! Twisted Evil

< - Thinks that Bunnie should take those leaving cakes in as planned, but only if she remembers to include a healthy dose of crystallised Hydrogen Cyanide* into the mixture when she bakes them! Very Happy

* - Better known as Zyklon-B.

V - Is tired, and wants to go to bed. Cool

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Shouldn't be giving me ideas like that

< - Has really bad stomach ache that won't go Sad

v - Isn't tired and could stay up all night

Steven Burns · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 1777

^ I`ve been tired all week since returning from the USA trip.

< - Still has a bit of unpacking to do but getting there

v - Is planning a holiday

Death · Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2009 2:36 am Post subject:

^ - Is wrong again...Given that I'm staying with my other half again, I could be regarded as currently being on holiday! Razz

< - Is tired, hot, sweaty, and - As soon as he's figured out how to get the benefits of a double-deck train to fit inside our very restrictive size limits - Will no doubt concentrate his thoughts to shifting Earth a few feet further away from the Sun, somehow... Wink

V - Shares my rather warped view on atomic sciences, and also believes that the nuclear fission process needs only a few spare Hydrogen atoms and a sledgehammer! Shocked

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Is very sweaty Shocked

< - Has been enjoying the Blackpool sunshine and is looking forward to the summer bash at the weekend

v - Is also looking forward to the summer bash

Death · Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:45 am Post subject:

^ - Remembered to get her Summer Bash form sent back in good time...My other half and I were planning on coming, but we forgot to get the form filled in. Sad

< - Is staying up all night to act as his other half's alarm clock, and is just about to start binge viewing engineering documentaries on the Discovery Channel again... Smile

V - Has trouble understanding anything about the fine art of Engineering! Shocked

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Should bring his other half to oakwood

< - Packing the car up for the weekened, leaving after work at 5pm

v - Relieved that it is cooler today

Death · Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 1:02 am Post subject:

^ - Would've got there quicker by rail... Wink

< - Is currently having a late night up with his other half...Reformatting, reinstalling, and updating almost everything on the family PC! Exclamation

I wouldn't normally mind long-haul PC fixes like this...But we're having to straighten up a system that hasn't been cleaned up in over six years, has already swallowed over 40 Windows updates this afternoon (Including two full service packs!) and still has a ton of software to be restored! Shocked

We tried to get going well with a 17:00 start, but it's looking like it'll be a very long night... Rolling Eyes

V - Now reminded of the struggles of computing, has decided to burn his/her computer ASAP! Laughing

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Actually I checked it and the car journey was much quicker than what the rail journey posed to be Wink

< - Had a great time at the summer bash, overall a fantastic weekend with many high points and few low points

v - Isn't sunburnt

Death · Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2009 7:57 am Post subject:

^ - Managed to get to the RCCGBs Summer Bash. Cool

< - Couldn't make the RCCGB event alas...But myself and a number of anarchists took a trip down to No. 10 with some practical weaponary for a "Summer Bash" of our own! Shocked

Unfortunateley, Gordon Brown wasn't willing to be the "guest" of honour at our event, so it had to be cancelled... Sad

V - Has already booked for next years Summer Bash... Twisted Evil

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

< - Sent her cheque off today for Oakwood

v - Needs to be more organised

Death · Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2009 1:38 am Post subject:

^ - Is more than correct. Indeed, I havn't even gotton around to reading the latest issue of Airtime yet, let alone do the form for Oakwood! Shocked

< - Will (Hopefully) get his sOakwood form off at some point in t'next few days. Smile

V - Got their sOakwood booking in well before the forms had even been printed! Razz

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Now there's an idea.....wonder if it will be possible to pre-book all the trips for next year Laughing

< - Not feeling like a happy hoppy bunnie today Sad

v - Will try and cheer me up

Death · Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2009 4:37 am Post subject:

^ - Has been very quiet both here and on Twitter recently, and has had me worrying that something ill had befallen her! Shocked

< - Does try and plan, book and pay for as many of his Club trips as far in advance as possible. Although I'm still investigating options for getting to sOakwood next month, I actually bought one of my train tickets for Loopathon yesterday! Shocked

< - Wouldn't normally buy an Advance train fare as he hates being stuck to specific trains...But when he saw that Virgin were offering him a seat from London to Stoke for only £4.95, he just couldn't let that deal pass him by - Especially as it means that he'll get to spend an hour and a half experiencing pure Pendolino thrash, something that he enjoys a great deal! Very Happy

V - Will be driving themselves up to Loopathon...And will probabally regret it when they're stuck in a huge stationary tailback on the M6 around Birmingham way, then catch a momentary glimpse of me flying straight past them at an unfettered 130mph... Twisted Evil

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Has picked up a brilliant deal

< - Has been to Ripleys Believe it or Not and enjoyed it (never been before)

Death · Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2009 4:14 am Post subject:

^ - Is incorrect...I've been surfing the 'net and that's about it. Rolling Eyes

< - Posts a lot here, on RailUK, and on Engrish.com...Maybe a little too much. I wonder if another of my "Internet free" periods may be upon the horizon? Question

V - Could live withgout the Internet about as easily as a fish could live without water... Shocked

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

^ - Could easily survive without the Internet

< - Had a nice relaxed day and is going to unwind with a few beverages of the alcoholic sort.

v - Will be drinking alcoholic beverages tonight aswell

Steven Burns · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 1777

^ I did indeed drink alcohole last night as predicted. Unlike me, normaly t total!

< Oakwood. Yay or nay?

V Has issues getting up in the mornings.
