You should always have it password protected.

Yeah, it definitely sounds like someone's been piggy backing with it not being password protected. Someone is gonna have to pay for their own internet in future.

it does work though the other one won't load most programs we can't get files off it. Not sure if it is hardware or software problems.
Had loads of replaced clusters on the hard drive, we can't system reset and it won't defrag. We will give a bit more of a kicking before we decide to spend on repair or maybe buy new.

Re - piggy backing - Well, hopefully I'll have spoilt someone's weekend! I'd not be at all arsed if someone was using the connection for a bit of a browse about but downloading stuff in volumes really is taking the piss. I don't mind giving or sharing but I can't abide greedy advantage takers.

Having shite connection has meant that I've been able to crack on with the decorating without too much of a distraction though so if all goes to plan by Sunday the DIY should be complete ready for the carpets and storage stuff arriving on Monday and then it's back to work for me on Tuesday.

I really don't know where all the time has gone

Crikey it only seems like the other day that you said you had six weeks off.

Just got Opera as my web browser.
I was suprised that it supported torrents! Oh munch yes!
That stuff goes on my "top 10" list just after rough sex.
On a secondary note, I havent drank for five days, so to celebrate that, I'm getting shitfaced!

Shame?

A fairly short word but the lip smacking relish the tabloids can get into that one word!

I was net surfing the usual British tabloid suspects this Sunday and began to laugh at the hypocrisy of us all.

Me too I stress.

The prospective Vice President for the Republicans has already possibly faked "nude" photos published - suggesting it is her in earlier life. So what - even if she had?

Two days I make it and her earlier reportedly laughing off the suggestion that she does look like a "naughty school teacher".

I nodded in agreement after reading that point before remembering myself and asking "what could they possibly mean?"

And under a "Caught Out!" headline - a celebrity was shamefully shopping!

Will we ever have a headline "Shame - No ones shame to report this week"?

I doubt it. They (my favourite papers) could always use their own in any week short of tales.

"My shame at all my reporting work being boiled down to the allegedly salacious bits!"

I love a bit of shame and I have enough in my past life - did anyone else hear a starting gun go off? but it is so overused and misused by the newspapers for their stories sometimes.

What a shame

Yeah - South Africa!

Today I've seen three frogs! Three!

They were proper frogs too, not toads. I know toadies when I see 'em!

Common Frog

They're called common frogs, but really they're quite rare these days. I tell you what, they're a bugger to get hold of. No munching chance, they can really jump and they move like greased lightening. And they're really slimey and slippery. Toads are a doddle to get a hold of, and they look better.

We used to get frogs in the back garden. No idea where they came from.

I went to see the magic fountains in Barcelona last night. I'd put them in an all time 'top things to do/see' list. They're absolutely stunning.
