I've read that series and can't remember.
Great story I'm sure you'll agree.

Well, if this place wasn't already on a watch list it sure as shit is now. I think I'm on one already. In my student days for a cheap laugh I used to send two emails to my own email account, one boring and containing nothing controversial and the other with the same content but with "bomb", "Kuffar" and the like thrown in. The second email would take much longer to arrive as it bounces through various online filters and safeguards setup by M16 or whatever. |

Airport for me. I've been stuck behind too many people who've suddenly decided to re-arrange all their luggage or had forgotten that they've got a set on pen-knives on their keys. Best one to date was the group who'd put their passports in the bottom of their suitcase. Which meant they had to completely unpack and repack that suitcase. my parents went to Nice several years ago and after scanning the carry on luggage my dad got pulled aside and was grilled on the contents of his bag for a fair amount of time. After denying there was anything of note they pull a big knife out of the bag to my dad's surprise. Turned out my mum had made sandwiches earlier to eat the airport and inexplicably put the knife in my dad's bag. Needless to say he was not amused with my mum and it was probably for the best that the knife got thrown away. |

My bugbear is people who stand in shops at airport, gormlessly looking at someone they're with buying things about 5 - 10 m away. You're wearing a backpack and taking up the whole aisle, buddy. Why are you even here? You're not buying anything. I'm pissed off at having to travel and I'm hungry. Stop blocking these awful lunch/snack options and wait outside!

Still no serious snow here. Mr Enemy commented on the weather warnings by pointing out that if you haven't spent a winter in Michigan you don't know what snow is (as a boy he was operating a lucrative snow-shovelling service to help people excavate their car out of the five feet of snow that had fallen overnight).
I once lost a nice souvenir penknife at airport security because I had genuinely forgotten that I had it on me. I also once had to change planes, only to find my suitcase on the tarmac. I said: "That's my suitcase, what's going on?" "Oh, this is yours? It's vibrating." So I had to rummage around in it, trying to keep my bras and knickers from flying around on the runway, and found that a ladyshaver had switched itself on.
I now use tape. Lots and lots of tape.
Games: last night I crept through Bleak Falls Barrow and consequently am suffering from draugr fatigue.

I once got stopped at customs going through Rotterdam because I was completely off my tits and had something close to a half ounce of weed I’d completely forgotten about. They were extremely understanding and I wasn’t even late for my ferry. Mishtakes are made, we can short shis out mit a shmoke unt er pancake.
Good people, those crazy Dutch bastards.

That was exactly the look that I got when they said "It vibrates..." |

Morning, anybody else planning to head to Toys R Us to buy all the Lego? I probably won't. Going to a closing down sale makes me feel like a vulture. I didn't do it when Woolworths and BHS closed down, either. That's another loyalty card I can remove from my wallet... I was always conflicted on Toys R Us, the whole store had so much plastic crap in it that it felt that they would put their whole stock into a landfill at the end of the day. They put a lot of independent, lovely toy stores out of business, but I feel very bad for the people who are losing their jobs. |

A red weather warning has been issued up my neck of the woods, so we're* all free to go home in an hour's time. Yass!
*The people in my work, not the chatterbox. Sorry if I got your hopes up.

Games: last night I crept through Bleak Falls Barrow and consequently am suffering from draugr fatigue. I'd leave all quests involving Draugr until you get 'Dawnbreaker' - it's a very good sword which burns the undead and if they die there's a chance of an explosion with a good AOE which ignites other undead around you. You get it from: "The Break of Dawn is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This quest is started by visiting the Statue to Meridia, or, after reaching level 12, by finding the radiant quest item Meridia's Beacon in random chests" |

More lovely snow here. I have to go to work anyway in a bit. I'm devastated.

Don't worry, they aren't really giving me trouble, there are just a lot of them. In other Skyrim-related news, against my better judgement I got involved in the Camilla - Sven - Faendal love triangle. |

Draugr can get tedious at times, the Draugr Deathlords can be a nasty surprise when you first stumble upon them, particularly with their shout (which can disarm you). If you have a bound weapon equipped it cannot get knocked out of your hands, which might be useful.

Maplin is closing down? They mostly seem to sell tiny giant novelty cars for children to drive these days.
It finally snowed a decent amount here, but it looks like the trains are still running. I thought the whole point of our rail system is that it completely collapses with any weather condition or seasonal event? What is the point in trains if they actually get you to work??
