a crude penis! I know this because that's the result I got when I drew a crude penis!
Call me cynical, but I had an email from Facebook this morning telling me someone had logged into my account from somewhere they didn't recognize. Admittedly, my first reaction was not to care, but I thought I'd better see if any damage had been done.
I logged in, it told me someone had tried to log in from New Mexico (or somewhere) and to confirm if it was me or not. I said it wasn't, so they got me to change my password. So far, so good. Now at this point, I'd have expected some sort of "here's what you did when you were logged in from New Mexico", or "don't panic, they didn't do anything", but instead Facebook just went into full on "you might know these people. Add them. Aaaaaadddd them..." mode.
So unless anyone can see that I've joined a group about fucking horses or anything recently, I'm wondering if was just a newly-phrased and slightly over-dramatic "Facebook is missing you" email.

Advantage of working late: being right on time to see the early shift lapdancers, hastily clothed, nip out of the club to grab a kebab. Very amusing.
Yes, I am waiting for a bus in the city centre.

I was turned down for a job in a lap dancing club for 'lack of bar experience'.
I think that was just a polite way of them telling you "We think you're too ugly to be a stripper". Sorry MaliA.
I spent the evening last night taking a PS3 apart to try and fix it.
I may post pictures later and whilst it wasn't a perfect success, it was interesting.

"Tis a fine barn, sure, but tis no PS3, english"
Not quite as bad as that but we started with a PS3 that didn't work. Anything we did with it would have been an improvement surely?
It ended up working after we'd tinkered with it but it looks like it's in a safe start up mode. It's looking for an update on the hard drive which isn't there and it won't find it on a USB memory stick.

Also depending on the version of PS3 you can get into a debug mode by holding down the power and eject buttons at different points on startup (the debug menu is about 7 items and includes a flash from usb stick)

Would flashing from a USB stick wipe the hard drive completely? My friend is trying to save his game saves.

You can just re-flash the current firmware which will leave the drive exactly as it is and not touch his save files (however some of the other options in there *will* wipe the drive so make sure your careful)
Excellent! Sounds like the way to go. I shall let you know how we get on.
You know that Cthulhu mask you made?
Can you make me an all in one suit please.

Rolling the database over means something tos ome people, but to me it is "sit and read the news all day".

I've hame a pretty graph showing improvement in forecast accuracy. And narrowed the x axis, so the best fit line is sharper.

I used to quite like Trooper, I'd think to myself "I hope Trooper comes to a beexmeet soon, I would like to meet him." And now...well. After this Dimlie incident, I shall never think of you the same way.

I could give some long convoluted reason as to why I couldn't make, but the real reason behind it would be that it's a long way and I really can't be arsed
I missed the charity conversations the other day.
I'm about to cancel my regular donation to a charity (was £6 a month for a couple of years, upped it to £15 a month a year or so ago) after they tried to call me 10 times in three days to talk to me about the wonderful work they do. I picked the final call up by mistake (I'd googled the incoming number as I didn't recognise it, and knew it was a charity phone mugger operation) and the bloke on the end would not take no for an answer, replying that he wasn't looking for more funds, he just wanted to share some stories. Had to hang up eventually.

Dragged myself out of bed at 6am after four hours’ sleep to do my car theory test, only for their system to throw a fit at my profile, and only mine. Annoying. So I didn’t get to sit the test, and now have to ring up and reschedule it either in the week if I can get any short-notice time off work, or two weeks away because the test centre only opens up every other Saturday. Fucksake.
Been to Bicester and back. 2hours 45 minutes each way. New record! Got the bikes up here now, hurrah!
