"Madchester"

 What a great town.

For the good news, after a �100 train trip, I am watching the A-Team.....Oh what weekends away can do for you. Guess who the guest star is:

Boy George!!!!! NO JOKE!

Gotta go, as this is something particularly nasty. Boy George is playing a concert in a small red neck town...

happy happy joy joy

 At lunchtime today I escaped the office and I don't have to go back until Tuesday 11th. The mere fact that I don't have to go back in next week has already started to relax me. I plan to spend next week being lazy (ok, lazier) and watching movies. Daredevil, Adaptation and Jackass are definitely on the list and I'm considering Solaris (apparently Soddenburg hasn't bastardised the original, but rather long, Russian classic).

My so called Internet Life

 Brian should stop reading now, because he'll gloat so much he's sure to explode.
BT gave me the wrong instructions for my house move and were all primed to charge me for running out on my contract. Now I have to email them again to cancel my old broadband, then wait until 5 working days after March the 6th before I can ask for a new connection. They'll send me email confirmation of the disconnection, which is really, really useful when I don't have internet connection. I'm going to demand a refund, but I think everyone knows where that will get me.

Open source states

 I've long thought that I live in a dispersed community. I don't really know my neighbours, but have a social group spread around the country of like minded friends. On a grander scale, an open-source constitution for post-national states looks to a future when the boudaries break down.

Long weekend, no Internet

 I'm just about out of here. Database building at home tomorrow, and Sky connection. Clare and James' wedding on Saturday. Hangover on Sunday. More databasing and probably Daredevil on Monday.

PS. Gabrielle, John's a lovely man, just don't look under his bed and never, ever ask about his spent convictions.

Post Mortem profit

 I'm not entirely sure why anyone would donate their, or a relative's, cadaver to the University of Texas Medical Branch, but you can bet it wasn't so that body parts could be sold on by a member of staff.
Tyler received $4,005 from Watson in one transaction. alone. The money paid for 232 fingernails at $15 each and 35 toenails at $15 each

Settlement

 In response to demands raised in the previous attempt to unionise Spinneyhead, I have found a way to add comments. Say hello to BackBlog. We've got the fully featured version for a couple of weeks trial, then I'll decide whether to pay for it or not.

All the News Unfit to Print

 Well. Well. Well. It seems as though Ian P has settled into a new hoose as they say up here and all looks swimmingly. Excellent! As to the big cheese pointing out how atrocious my spelling and grammer are, I thought it would be fair to say good point. May I also remind the gentlerman the reasons for the lack of spell check is that I am far too exciting to be posting onto the "Greatest Website Ever Told". My dedication to self improvement will commence today and the Flesh-Kinkaid reading level will hover between 10.5 and 12.9. Enough said.

After two weeks of patient waiting to be in the Broadband premium league, I managed to muck it all up by not being in the "hoose" when the postman arrived with a brand new ADSL modem. Doh! Double Doh!! Triple Doh!!! The funny part is I am leaving for Manchester tomorrow so that means no broadband until next week sometime. The joke truly is on me and Mr. Frost please contain your glee.

In terms of visiting for Fringe Gestival and Hogomany, you all are invited. Several spaces available as I am endeavoring to take at least two weeks off during the festival season. This means nothing short of comedy, drama, loutish behavior and drunkness. Come one, Come all. Or as Bob Parker from the Price Is Right said, "Come on Down".

I have yet to find any interesting links today, but rest assured once they are out there....

Dearest Gabrielle, no IM of late, but after I am back from Manchester I will track you down.
