Ten things.

I love these "Ten Things" articles on the BBC website.  Sometimes I think, "Yeah, I asready knew that" and other days I'm, "Wow, that's really interesting".

What 10 things do you know today that you didn't know last week?

Rock and roll Saturday.

Well, I've been to Tesco today and thought about frankthepirate while I was there.  She would have been impressed with Paul.  He was sniggering at the chav (clearly distinguished by her wearing 2 or 3 cheap gold rings on every finger and the questionable dress code).  This one in particular caught his attention because she took up the whole aisle...and I'm not talking positioning, I'm talking size.  (Yes, I am being sizeist because it's my blog and I can say what I want.  Yes, I'm overweight as well but I don't have a magic mirror that makes me look like Twiggy).  The first words out of her mouth?  "Shall we get a cake for later"?

( And plans for the rest of the day? )

Ooohhhh almost forgot

We were given an old desktop PC by one of my work colleagues. Not sure what spec it is yet (she's the sort of person who buys a PC 'cos they tell her in the shop it's what she needs, not a put down but she just wants something to rin certain progams for her family), but it means I might be able to run some of my games that I've had for years but not completed because Vista doesn't like them!

Diablo here I come!!! W00T

Saturday news

I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this.  On the one hand, it's nothing you can't see if you drive down a road, on the other, maybe it is an invasion of privacy.  It's not something I have to think about too hard at the moment as our area isn't shown, but how do/would you feel?  Apparently some images have already been removed.

To my mind, if you don't want to be seen doing something you're embarrassed by or ashamed of, don't do it (as in the case of the man seen entering the sex shop...pwned)!

Writer's Block: Caution, Meet Wind

When was the last time you threw caution to the winds?  And what were the consequences?

When I left my first husband and starting seeing Paul...we got married!
