Snow :-)

| | Comments (2)

I have a stinking cold for a week or so (but shook it off quicker than most people) so havn`t had much to collect or write to a blog :-(

The big freeze is on the way :-)
Yesterday 6 C` above and today 1.4 C` above...


I have been very busy with learning about the ins and outs of mobile phones and ....a little bit of Linux....for the last couple of weeks.
But a few things have happened....

I am running two Anti virus checkers and a Firewall on my laptop....the **sysad asked if I was paranoid :-)

Hi Folks,
I hope you are all as well as can be...

No wonder you lot get ill for longer, you are all using heating....I still have windows open and havn`t used the heating yet as indoors it is 13 C`...last year my bedroom was colder than the inside of my fridge....but heh that was what blankets were invented for :-)

....but there again I could do with making a heated *bog seat

IT SNOWED :-)
The pubs with Australian / New Zealand / South African staff in the earls court area all had parties and Bar-b-q`s going on till the 3 or 4 in the morning as most of them had not experianced snow before....

It now being a few days later is 12.3 C, at 1 am and 14 C, the day before......with very stong winds creating mayhem.....

I am spending a lot of time at the internet cafe...heh wouldn`t you ? a with a free connection....
don`t ask.....but it`s legal :-) and no!!!!! there`s no sex involved ;-)

I am running two Anti virus checkers and a Firewall on my laptop....the **sysad asked if I was paranoid :-)
I said, no more than HE should be.....as they get viri and trojan attacks quite often, and suggested a few changes to their setup which they are gradually taking up....

Fuqin hell...I don`t beleive it.....coming over the radio at the moment are flood warnings for the next few days...Weird weather.......maybe tomorrow we will have a heat wave...

Some kids have nicked my Buster Gonads picture and put it on their website with no credits or anything.......cheeky fuqrs....

I was going past one of my old wi-fspots and the wind was blowing a bit...well all right.....a lot, across the road from Goodge St, Station is a big shop called Heals,
Heals have a row of banners about 18 feet up, at the front of their shop and they have a restraining rope holding each one.
One of the ropes became undone and was swinging around at head height.....So did they call a local Tradesman to make it safe? did they hell ...they called the Fire Brigade to come and and re-tie it back.....I hope no ones house burned down while they were wasting ratepayers money...

Thats it for tonight...more soon :-)
