This distressing experience was made worse by a girl bounding up to me in a headset telling me that I should use the self service till not wait in the queue. Listen love, I'm a fucking customer, it's not my job to take items and make them go "beep". I did give it a go as it happens. I did think about accidentally not swiping some items but then remembered the video I made about EPOS fraud systems and decided against it (hundreds of miles away on a some god forsaken windswept industrial estate a video will be being recorded of you swiping which also knows what items you are swiping). |

They won't do anything if you make a mistake anyway. I managed to miss off some curtains when I last shopped at Ikea. I had my receipt checked by security on the way out, noticed the mistake, and had to pay for it. In supermarkets, the staff will happily override any errors without checking into it at all, so I doubt you'd ever get caught unless you were acting very suspiciously. I'm not condoning stealing, mind. |

Well as reputable as Home Bargains is I guess. It's properly licensed with 10 tracks on it but on the back, as well as saying Activision, it says it's made by Basic Fun Inc.

They've captured the spirit of the GH games - you can't play the 10th track, 'Jessica' until you've played the previous 9. Well I say track, they're about 30 seconds long. Oh and you have to play it on the hardest skill level for the notes to bear any relation to what you're listening to. Also, the instructions don't explain how to play the long notes properly. Other than that... well worth £2.99 if you want to create a sizeable bulge in your trousers. |

Bike behind us just lost its back end and lowsided into a curb. Biker is okay, bike isn't too bad: bit of fairing damage, busted radiator, broken clutch lever etc. Rach has managed to burn her hand on the exhaust picking the bike up, the idiot. Didn't think to warn her. Nasty stuff. |

I'm going to a 31st birthday party tonight and the theme is 'rave', so we have to dress in 90's neon style. I have a purple and yellow top witha bright pink visor (the visor part is see through) a bright pink necklace, neon wristbands, neon heart earrings, a glow stick and whistle to wear around my neck and glow bracelets. We have to walk through Saltcoats wearing this to get to the party. This is very much not my style, I hope I don't see anyone I know. |

I was just asking Jen there how long I was talking about my RB character for last night. When we were trying to join the game last night we restarted the console about three times because the headsets weren't working. Three restarts to figure out that mine wasn't plugged in and Jens was muted. I don't know how I'm going to manage to face all the alcohol tonight. |

It is the calming comfort of knowing that you are nearby the sink if you feel like you might be sick. You relax more than you might otherwise do if you were in another room where you might have to make a dash for the bathroom. Plus the floor is cool, so the waves of heat and nausia are calmed a bit, so you start to relax. Laying on my tummy helps, too. I have now been promoted to lying in the room next to the bathroom and upgraded DSi to laptop. Also, thankyou mystic Albino The only people I dislike at the moment are the bell ingers at the catherdral who have been ringing the same peal for three hours now. Actually, they might be having a GOOD day, as if I weren't feeling ill I may have strangled them by now.

Awesomesauce - Ikea desk and chair built, laptop+monitor moved to it, along with printer, and now NAS and homeplug. To fit the NAS and laptop into one Homeplug, my old ADSL router is now acting simply as a router, so the laptop can drag media off the NAS on the local bit, transcode, and stream it out over the homeplug. I love it when a plan comes together. Especially when it involves several devices featuring multiple flashing lights. |
