Fixed.

I feel the impotent anger and frustration and broken down into sheer gut-wrenching disappointment of seeing an entire evening crash into nothingness. fook you netbeans, fook you.

Yes, its the straightforward cheery singalong one, but The King Blues - I Got Love is great.

One person? ONE person? A couple of years back there was an old peoples home by a bus stop a couple down from where I caught the bus and it inevitably was packed full of pensioners reeking of all kinds of bodily functions if you got on at the wrong time of day. Unlucky missing out on the 9000, they're lovely

fook you southwest trains fook that rude bitch yesterday who doesn't understand that a guy in a portacabin is unable to sell tickets. To ten people in 5 minutes, err Id like to say fook the guy who stopped selling me a ticket to answer the phone making me miss the train but he's otherwise a decent chap, fook the moron who decided not to replace the faulty ticket machine But above all fook that dumb bitch on the customer care number who explained that everything is my fault, maybe I should buy a weekly ticket... which is utterly unsuited to my needs and when I explained this, didn't clarify the policies like I was expecting but said 'not my problem, get there earlier, when'd you get there?' fook them all. I spend over three, and a half, thousand, pounds a year on THAT? fook it. Got some leaflets yesterday and this only cements my opinion; I'm moving so I don't have to put up with this. Going to cost and extra 300 a month, but going to be worth it to avoid these mother****ers

Its a very good film and I enjoyed it, but it did seem a little contrived, really.

Seen the cheap box-set of them for sale, worth a go?

Infernal Affairs is pretty brilliant really, isn't it?

Yeah, massive inconvenience to everyone and dangerous as the place they speed is the one they're most likely to have an accident on. Complete liabilities.

Internet... on the toilet? The wonders of modern technology. Other than this piece of gadgetry, pretty crap

I scuffed one of the alloys on my car pulling over to let an ambulance through

Every now and then I like my job - today wasn't one of those days.

Everything went swimmingly until 4:55 when I got some email from a tool expecting the world to revolve around when he wants stuff done rather than how long it actually takes, ended up hanging around half an hour late and missing out on a colleague's stand up routine as a result.

This mobile phone shopping malarkey seems a lot tougher than last time. Before, I just walked into each shop, looked at the cheapest 3G flip-up phone, checked the price of calls and bought it. Oh, for the heady days of 04? 05? I forget. Anyway, my nigh-on indestructible Motorola V980 took a turn for the worse recently. While its still working fine despite most of the paint having chipped off from being in a pocket with my keys for over four years, the antenna thing has come off due to another minor high-speed collision with a brick wall, this time with some unfortunately positioned mortar that caught it and cracked it. I meant to fix it up with superglue and it would have been fine, but the bit it screws into has now snapped off and I've lost both that and the antenna itself, resulting in calls with a little more of the 'hello? HELLO? I'M ON THE TRAIN' than I'd like. So the time has come to replace it, but nobody seems to do what I'm after, which is basically the same thing. I mean, the only things it lacks really are bluetooth and the camera is a bit useless. Problem is I can't find anyone doing flip-up designs anymore except one Sony one that looks ridiculously fragile, which would defeat the point. Basically - tough, decent amount of features (internetty 3g type stuff, mildly crap instead of near-useless camera), quite cheap? Ideas? I mean, ok, its doesn't look hard-wearing enough but I'd like one of them google ones, but its ridiculously pricey.

Having to be the person to try and get departments that don't talk to customers to fix what they broke is lovely.

Ah the memories - a good film, however it probably didn't help one of the lines of dialogue was the same as a spoken word thing by William Shatner ft. Henry Rollins (really.) that a friend we were with had been playing the whole afternoon, causing us all to break into laughter at a serious point in the film, pissing off the entire cinema.

Bloody hell... someone lives in Cathays that isn't a student? edit: Pfft, Whitchurch Road? Surely that counts as Heath. Absolutely disgraceful - but its a main road, and usually gets ridiculously grid-locked with traffic until about that time of evening. Hopefully they'll get witnesses etc.

Stuck a deposit down on a car, bargained it down from over-priced to merely what a really good one should be, but not sure whether it'll be a genius buy a disaster - all the main things are fine, but I'm worried the little things will add up. Its a week till I can pick the thing up, so until then its going to be a case of nagging doubt I think.

The cat just pissed on a box of paperwork that I've had to spend the last 20 minutes burning and the smell of its got onto me

Its not a red Le Mans, so I'm not sure.

Compulsory Basic Training - gives you two years of L plates on a 125 with no passengers. Then, (or earlier) you have to do a full test, which will allow you to ride anything, but with a 33bhp restriction (either by design or a restrictor-kit for a bigger bike) for the first two years. Direct-Access involves basically doing all the tests and lessons in one big clump and will allow you to ride anything without a restrictor if you're 21.

I love how ridiculously evil those Guzzi V-Twins sound.

So yeah, I saw it in the end. Good film, though the more I think about the ending the more I get confused as to whether it was clever or a cop-out. Did that sort of thing better than most that try it, though. I loved the way it shifted seamlessly between the two halves, too. Usually things that try and do that end up failing but I thought it worked well. Good characters, acting etc. too. Thought it wre pretty good, really.
