That is quite a find! So many talents, our 'most eligible bachelor of 2004' !

Yeah yeah, very funny guys.

Two minor ranticules:

I was working until 3 this morning and then at 8 the phone rang. I dragged myself to the phone and it was a voice-text message telling me robotically that my new wireless internet account would be activated at midnight tonight and all necessary equipment would be delivered by 7 tomorrow evening. (Members might remember that I've been squeezing myself into the neighbours' bandwidth while at home for the past year, but I thought it was about time we had something here that was a bit more dependable and doesn't just work in the corner of one room and sometimes disappear for days on end).

Yesterday I popped into my office to collect my mail (lest that seem insanely keen, this included some CDs I'd ordered!) and see if there was anything I urgently needed to think about before going back "properly" later in the week, and I found a note from the department technician, who had been in my room while I was away and tested all the electrical plugs and put stickers on them (and there are quite a few, given that I store all my electronic music gear there on the grounds that it's safer than at home). There was a note alerting me to the fact that many of the power plugs there were Continental ones and that these should be taken off and replaced by UK ones because they're "less safe". I wonder if the population of the rest of Europe is aware that their power plugs are lethal and only here in the UK do we have safe ones. 

Well, if your friend isn't upset then I would think you have nothing to worry about, tp. Maybe your friend was half-asleep at the time and forgot about the call.

I went to Selfridges last week to get my suitcase repaired (it was my first "proper" ie expensive suitcase and I'm never going back to cheap ones - the man in the luggage department was absolutely brilliant and ended up replacing my slightly battered case with a new one).  I had a wander around looking for ways to fritter away my ducats, and saw that they have already opened their Christmas shop.  Shocking.

But can you get a 2009 Diary when you have got to the point when you begin to need one? No you can't. Just those 'Mid-2008 to Mid-2009' ones sitting there among the Christmas Cards. Whazzat all about then? Grump and Ha Bumhug, say I.
