Category: Twat of the Day. Posted: 2010-02-11 23:17:30 GMT.
Some idiot in Bristol (or as he spells it, "bristoil") insists on using my e-mail address when registering with TomTom. I've had his account closed down 3 times, but he keeps re-registering using my e-mail address. Today, I gave up, and wrote to him asking him to stop using my e-mail address. If he registers again, I'll write to him again, but won't put a stamp on the envelope.

I spent most of my day at home catching up with e-mail, uploading pictures to Flickr, uploading my blog, tidying at home, ironing while listening to Moneybox and The News Quiz, and watching more episodes of The Gadget Show. At about 8 o'clock, I went for a swim, which was the first time I'd left the house today. After swimming, I listened to Digital Planet while pottering around in the kitchen and the living room. I'm going to have to install iTunes on my multi-media centre (or should that be multi-media center?) again, so that I can listen to podcasts on my iPod. After watching the news, I carried on watching Would I Lie To You, even though I'd seen it before. I must have been feeling lazy, because I watched the first 10 minutes of Super Bowl Live!

I must have been knackered yesterday, because I woke up at 09:45. I had time for a quick cuppa while I checked my e-mail, before cycling to Tummies to meet Bird. As usual, she was looking gorgeous. The service was very slow, but we got served eventually. I went to Tesco on the way home to buy mince for this evening's curry and a few other things. After a quick cuppa, I walked up to The Harrow to buy some shoelaces and some shoe-horns, but the cobbler had closed his shop. So much for supporting a local business! As planned, Gimmer arrived at 16:30, ready to watch England beat Wales at Twickenham. He was very impressed with my coffee machine, and reckoned he might buy one. I put the curry on at half-time, so it was ready once the rugby had finished. After we finished the curry, I left Gimmer watching Boob Envy while I loaded the dishwasher. I was amused when, at 19:30, my multi-media centre stopped playing Boob Envy, and started recording from BBC1 (unfortunately, it records based on time, not based on a particular programme). I'd loaded the dishwasher by this point, so we went to the Toby for a few pints. I had Stella, but Gimmer had diet coke, because he was driving.
Back at home, I watched tonight's Casualty, and a few episodes of The Gadget Show, before going to bed at about 02:00. Annoyingly my bedroom PC had crashed, I'm really going to have to sort out the new PC.

Back at home after work, I watched Panorama, listened to FrequencyCast Show 48 while tidying up in the kitchen, went for a swim, watched the 10 o'clock new news, watched the first half of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, and surfed t'internet in bed. I went to sleep at about 23:45.

It seems that somebody at the BBC has got a bit confused. The article refers to Windows NT 3.1, the caption underneath the picture refers to Windows 3.1, and the picture shows Windows 95.
Microsoft to patch 17-year-old computer bug

I went swimming straight after work, because Bird was coming round for dinner later. There were hoards of horrible little kids getting in my way. I'll certainly be going to the adults only session next time I go swimming on a Thursday! I didn't have much to do when I got back home, because I just warmed up last week's chilli. We also tried a few different coffees, to decide which type(s) to buy, because I would run out soon. Rather than meeting next Tuesday (when Bird would be busy), we arranged to have brunch at Tummies at 11:00 on Saturday.

The sleeper arrived a bit early, but there was no point in getting off early, because the First Class Lounge at Euston doesn't open until 07:00 and I wanted to have a shower before work. I therefore sat in my cabin, and watched all the commuters arriving and bustling around. Having been on a train for the last 7 hours, it seemed remarkably quiet being on a stationary train. After a while, I got off the train. I wish I'd bought panniers with straps on, because it's quite difficult carrying two heavy panniers.
Apart from getting stuck in traffic on the Euston Underpass, getting a bit lost cycling to Paddington, and having to put up with some idiot not stopping at a zebra crossing, I had a fairly uneventful journey from Euston to Paddington. It was a fairly busy day catching up with things at work, but I got there eventually.
