I bought my A600 in the Tandy in Edinburgh. I thought the chain went bust a good 10 years ago though..

I applaud you for how well you're taking this, Mr. Morte. I'd be going fucking mental.

Good job you checked Rev.

@ Everyone else...I don't know about taking it well but it's just stuff (DAMN YOU FOR TAKING MY FUNSQUARE ) in the end. Getting robbed I suppose is an almost universal experience and given my lack luster household security regime I've got away with it longer than I should have. . Still children let this be a lesson for you all and make sure all windows and doors are locked tonight...Sleep tight and don't have nightmares...you know the ones of huge men with knives nicking all your stuff WHILE YOU SLEEP.

Having said all that I'm going out on the rob tonight to make myself feel better.

Dear Beggars of Oxford,

If you want 10p, att 11-30pm, in McDonalds, don;t start getting in my face over it in McDonalds.

I was told by someone who knows about these things that this type of aggressive begging is usually for drugs (specifically heroin). See also the people who get on trains at places like Waterloo pretending they have no money for a ticket and can you give them some.

Fuck off out of my my or Fuck off

Inspired, sir.

Inspired, sir.

Dear Beggars of Oxford,

If you want 10p, att 11-30pm, in McDonalds, don;t start getting in my face over it in McDonalds. Also, spilling my coke in my lap isn't going to get you the 10p. When I say "No, thanks, mate, please leave me alone" I mean. This avoids me standing up and going full shout into your face (for the record "You've got 2 options here, I'll make it easy for you: Fuck off out of my my or Fuck off") and you threatening me with your army of tramp mates that were waiting outside. But you didn't spoil my night though, epic night was epic.

the rush in Oxford library...

The Turf and The Bear and Bar Copa were all rather quiet last night. Till James and I appeared.

Surely The Bear just needs a single person in it, either behind or in front of the bar, to qualify as "not quiet".

true. The barmaid complimented me on my Tshirt so I lied to her and said I was a professional surfer.

Not this board.

I like the way that the media is portraying Gary Glitter as an evil overlord who is going to ruin any country he turns up in! That's right, as soon as he sets foot in England he will be the most evil person running free and there's not a thing anyone can do about it! Crazy.

You've got to admit that he certainly has the right malevolent grin and eyebrow style for it though.

edit: and a little pointy beard thing. Proper evil overlord if ever I saw one.

The barmaid complimented me on my Tshirt so I lied to her and said I was a professional surfer.

You've made all nostalgic now, by the way, for the times I used to drink in The Bear and The Turf.

I used to drink in the Turf, and had a pint in there last time I was in Oxford. Great pub.

I believe it gets me cheap rates on selected Saga holidays. Hmm.

Here's a question.. people who liked his records before all this came to light, do you still like his records?

QUESTION OF IMPORTANCE:

Who is the lass that does the news on BBC1 from 6am while 9am? I love her. I think it's Ellie Crissell, but I fear I'm wrong and can't find any more info on the bbc website. So I'm going to have to wait until Monday now.

Go go go Bessies! Infosearchmedo.

I thought Saga was for the over 50s? Are you a wrinkly?

I can't place the name right now but if it's who I'm thinking of she's one of the increasingly gorgeous BBC London rotation.
