Garage called me. Some sort of flap that's sticking and pretty much broken. Replacement will cost over £300.
No Christmas for me...

Morning.
Internet here is a real pain at the moment due to work network issue. Moving slower than a snail who has just downed 15 pints of Guinness and a few bags of pork scratchings.

Morning,
feeling quite proud of myself today. I'm now an official professional table tennis player... as far as Wii Sports Resort is concerned.

Morning guys,
Had a quick go on F1 2010 last night and although not perfect I actually reckon it's pretty good.I'm not a big F1 fan so I wasn't sure it was going to appeal to me but I like it.There doesn't seem to be a quick race option (if there was I couldn't find it) so I had to start the career mode (which at times seems a little long winded) and you really have to do the practice session if like me you are unfamiliar with some of the tracks.You can quit or accelerate time once you are ready to qualify or race though so it's not too bad.I was afraid it maybe a bit too serious making you alter fractions of a mm to your wing settings or 0.1 Psi into your tyre pressures but in the easier settings you simple select wet,adaptable or dry,then it's off you go.Handling of the cars is very well balanced too so after a few go's even an F1 noob like myself was removing some of the driver aids.A.I. of the drivers is impressive too,push them hard enough and they can run wide or spin off but there's no safety cars which would have been fun.If you are a fan of the sport I reckon you'll absolutely love it TBH.It's certainly the best racing game I have played since Forza 3 and Need For Speed : Shift and both of those came out nearly a year ago.

My day today:
Work early to get some stuff done.
Agreed to take eldest to school in the car and youngest wanted to come.
Car won't start.
Get bus and get to school 30 mins late
Get to bank late for appointment
get back on bus and call RAC.
RAC gets car going after several attempts, but need to leave engine running.
No lunch as have to stay with car and then take youngest to school
Go to Exeter to take car to garage and get courtesy car as have to leave it overnight. Money signs start piling up.
Go to dentist and find out wife has to have new bridge and I have to have new filling. More money disappearing from the pile I don't have.
Get back just in time to pick kids up from school but as we get home the heavens open.
Thing I wanted to test on Amazon gets taken by someone else before I even see it.
Wife says she wants to decorate lounge this weekend which means moving furniture and no TV for the weekend (while Singapore GP is on)
Oh, and it's the wife's Birthday today.

That's the one.
Actually it is slightly quieter, but everyone is singing along to their respective songs. Pretty funny - removing the headsets removes both the music and the atmosphere. I posted about it on my blog...killer post this morning I have to say - especially as it's the first day with Internet!
