I'm really going to have to think about how to get some more money coming in.
No, neither. My laptop had just decided not to charge whilst it was plugged in, had completely drained it's battery and was running directly off of the mains. As I was tidying I moved the laptop slightly knocking the mains out of the back, causing the laptop to cut out seconds later. Annoying, but less so than it actually being broken.
In other news, I appear to have snagged the final For Sale copy of Bayonetta (PS3) from Boomerang for £6.51, it had been around £10 and tempting for a while, so when I saw it was this cheap I couldn't resist. Bioshock 2 for £6.20 almost had me too.
Well I for one am still enjoying F1 and yesterday's race was exciting for me because I had money riding on it (though it was only the 'free' account money from the online betting that I still couldn't take out anyway).
Horses for courses I guess, I know I'd be bored stiff at a football match and you can make the same argument about overpaid pampered players in the top tiers of that game too (I'd say both arguments are as invalid as each other).
Anyway, bus decided to be 15 minutes late on the coldest day so far. Great. Still, at least I got to work before 8am so I can still leave before 4pm.

I'm not as big of an F1 fan as I used to be, in fact I didn't even watch todays race. There's just way too much politics involved nowadays.
I went to Silverstone in 2005 for the Grand Prix and really enjoyed the weekend with my Dad, but in terms of actual racing, I can't really say there was any, as everyone seemed too scared to pass each other incase they scraped their cars.
Then a few years ago I went to Knockhill for the BTCC and absolutely fell in love with it, there was just so much going on, and proper racing with proper race drivers. And since Knockhill is so small, you get to walk around the paddock area and are within touching distance of the cars. My only regret is that I was a bit too nervous when I saw Giovanardi standing two feet from me having a coffee, and I bottled it and didn't ask him for his autograph.
Plus, whilst watching the Porsche Carrera Cup, Charles Bateman put his car into the wall at 130mph, right in front of me and my mate. Talk about an adrenaline rush!!!
Haven't been to an F1 race since then and Knockhill is now an annual destination for me.
Glad Vettel won he really deserved it. Alonso is too arrogant for my liking nowadays.
Against my better judgment I watched the race and my god was it boring,seen better racing on Sainsbury's car park.Alonso is a prize tool,think he expects everyone to move out of the way like his team mate does.As for Webber,was he even in the race ?,I honestly didn't notice.Vettel is fast but he has acted like a spoiled brat this year.What sportsman has to rob bits off his team mates car after he has broken his own ? and what the hell was all that crap he was doing after he took Webber out in Turkey ?,the 'accident' was 100% his fault !.As for F1 being the pinnacle of motorsport,please don't make me laugh.

[i]There is a patch available that should include the NESV purchase, though I would guess you may have trouble applying that. I've played the game with the first patch but not the 2nd yet so I'm not sure.
I had no problems applying the updated patch. An exact replica that works on accquired copies is available.[/i]
It's not as if we all haven't done it....but this is why we all pay through the nose for games....'t*t for tat'...fair dues I suppose :¬)
