Be Excellent To Each Other

Thanks Gilly that is the tie!
Cancun beckons us in a couple of days.

Shame. I got my Reflektors* tickets for this Wednesday at the Empress Ballroom** Blackpool

*Arcade Fire **superb venue

Cancun is on our list of possibilities for our honeymoon, I've heard good things about Moon Palace? Have a fantastic time, what a great time of year to go and get totally spoiled in the sun
Your tie looks very smart, you did a great job on it!

Congrats Troopers!

Congratulations Troops and Mrs Troops!

Congrats to Trooper & Mrs Trooper, you both looked fabulous! Apologies I couldn't make it, it sounds like a wonderful time was had by all.

Have a wonderful honeymoon and here's to you enjoying a long & happy marriage xx

Congrats Trooper! Nicely done mate, wishing you both every happiness.

Cavey

Yes, hearty congratulations and all the best Troopses.

Another Beexer keeping with the tradition of punching above his weight.

Congratulations Trooper! Here's to a long and happy future.

Congrats Trooper! Commiserations, Mrs Trooper!

I've been stalking through the pictures and I have to say, the back of the wedding dress is awesome.

Joans being the prime example.

Thanks all

Now apparently I'm heading off on holiday tomorrow, I should probably start organising stuff and find out where we are actually going and what time!

Meh. That's what the wife is for!

I've had a headache for about a month now, on and off.

Might go get my brain scanned again.

about! again! i've!

Also, I had that in September/October, which is odd as I very rarely get headaches. I got my eyes tested, then grudgingly went along to a doctor who determined it was being caused by my teeth, and told me to go and see a dentist. I told him to fuck off, because I don't like dentists, and I'd just wait for it to go away, which it eventually did (and turned into God-awful toothache instead).

HTH

How's your BP? That's what was giving me constant headaches.

It's just down the road, but I usually go to Sainsbury's because it's cheaper

Got those.

It might be my eyes. I spend forever looking at screens, and my glasses are fucked. It's either that or my teeth or my sinuses or my blood pressure or a tumour or something.

At least you don't turn Japanese when you're stressed.

Turning Japanese is supposed to help with stress.

Anyway, you're Mexican now.

¿Dondo esta me tequila?

Man, google translate is ruining my fun by correctly translating what I was going to post. Bothersome thing.

I'm seeing someone who went through this, he was grumpy and tired too (not suggesting you are...) and one week, he had a really bad head cold and almost passed out when he stood up from his desk at work. Our MD sent him to the doctor, who then sent him to A&E and within 36hrs, he was scheduled for MedEvac to Liverpool to get a golf ball sized tumour removed. They would have had to put him on a helicopter because the planes altitude could have killed him. Fortunately, it didn't come to that as another specialist believed it to be non life-threatening so instead he was signed off for 3 months and given awesome drugs to reduce it so he didn't go blind.

But I'm sure it won't be that

I had a scan done six months ago for another reason, and have a follow up due about now, so hopefully I'm still all clear and just wearing the wrong glasses or something is it.

First question from the doctor.

Sir, have you had any alcohol in the past month?

Just one?

Hush you.

He then handed you aSmirnoff Ice.

This Amazon program seems to be a massive whinge about having to actually work for money.

Maybe, but I'd go batshit crazy if I had one of those hand held terminals beeping at me every 30 seconds. It'd be like working in that factory in Metropolis.

Hannah Britland has a delightful bottom.

Dear Linux,
You make installing new drives far too fucking hard.
This is one of the reasons people hate you.

Love Grim....

I've tried Linux a few times over the years, I've now decided that the whole thing is mostly just a stupid puzzle for nerds with far too much time on their hands.

Hmmm. Just switched over from O2 to 3 and with the 3 SIM card in my phone my download never makes it over 0.8Mbps. I can see from the icon at the top of the phone that it's never cycling up from H to H+ which I assume is at least part of the problem. I've tested it in a number of locations this morning in which, on O2, the same handset gave expected speeds so it's not the phone. A mate of mine on 3 gets the usual 3-4Mbps down when running a test at work with our phones side by side so it's not the network. Is there some kind of 'settling in' period I can expect here or something? Or is is possible for certain handset/network combinations to just not like each other?

Moral Maze question of the day:

If you see someone leave their headlights on in the car park, is it okay not to tell them if they work in HR?

Depends. Most people who work in HR are hot girls. You should always tell them.

Are they hot?

\o

There is one family who live down the road & drive a Vauxhall Zafira, I have knocked on their door three times this year because twice he left his lights on & once because he had a flat. On Sunday driving pass his passenger door was open & I thought sod it !! So I ignored it.

o/

Brilliant. There's only so many times you can tell someone to stop being an idiot.

No, in my experience they generally are not. And this one's a chap.

Dog. Head. Stacking. Wrestling mask.

Leeds German Market had loads of hot chicks and good food. Recommended.

I like roast chicks.

Oh god. An entire tube of Pringles.

I realise I'm just self-indulgently ranting here but: fucking Three! After a day or so spent on their network it seems that their service is just so hilariously variable as to be useless unless you spend all your time in one of their coverage brightspots. Roaming across Glasgow city centre yesterday I rarely saw anything above 1MB and frequently ended up getting near dial-up speeds; except for a single spot in my office where I could get about 4MB. I ran a few tests when I got home and it seems my kitchen is some kind of Three signal nexus as I could repeatably get 13MB (!) down while standing there and about 8MB in my bathroom. This morning at the train station near my house I got a decent speed (versus the near fuck all I got yesterday) but the closest I got to town the shitter it got.

Having hilariously high max speeds is totally useless if that's matched with massive spots of terrible performance; what use is that in a mobile network? I can see me ending up going back to O2 but having to pay them shedloads more money than I was previously and not even getting unlimited data with that. This could end up being an expensive experiment...

Three was a disaster for me. Outright massive signal blackspots, no connectivity even when the phone was convinced I had full strength H+, dropped calls, the lot. Dumped them after six months (and that was fucking hard work) for EE, who've been good ever since, touch wood.

If the O2 network is any good for you then GiffGaff do unlimited data for £12 a month

Three are good in the midlands. I like them and their app.
