I am also in need of a new laptop*. I see talk of a "good deal", wouldst thou be kindest enough to share dear boxers? is the one I bought and recommended to Mr Tids. Be aware though, it's not a gaming laptop if that's what you're looking for. Mr Tids - bad news it's back down to £212.... I've got a gaming rig (old and outdated, like my face), I just need one for general administration and keeping my electronic life in order. Thanks all. |

Afternoon all,
Spent yesterday travelling the Elite universe and switching elements on rare asteroids.
I'm so lonely.

MrTiddles If you contact Amazon Customer Services and point out that your new laptop is now £37 cheaper they should refund the difference. Worth a try. Use their online Chat option.

Pref.Mam. Birthday coming up so in addition to the Quality street I am ordering "edging shears" from Jeff, strange contraption not sure what they are used for.
Also taking the opportunity to order some Roku gin, plus assorted glasses, now looking for a treat to finish the order.

After thinking about it long and hard*, I decided NOT to buy my PM a funeral plan for her recent birthday. Sorry to disappoint those who voted for me to take this option.
She was however very pleased with the new set of arrows I got her, and has been whooping my ass on the dartboard ever since.
*unlike my anatomy etc.

BSG TOS had the best theme tune in all of sci-fi history. It just makes you glad to be human.

Sometimes I find it hard to understand how some guys survive ... I've just started conquering Conqueror Of Worlds, when he suddenly wakes up and says "Hello Shh, how would you like to form an NAP?
Shh: Why would I do that? 🙂
Conqueror Of Worlds: Because it's always good to have someone watching you back. Else, you might find a knife in it one day.
Shh: It's such a terrible idea to imply a threat - unless you have the means to enforce it. Just don't do it... terrible diplomacy as whatever the outcome the message recipient is going to carry a grudge against you. And I will.
In this context where my ship replacement rate greatly outmatches yours and I am already attacking you, it makes you sound like a posturing, pre-pubescent teenager daring a bigger guy to a fight.
I'm very happy to oblige you.
As you seem rather witless, I'm sure it won't take me long to wipe you out."
What an idiotic cunt.

That's just basic. I don't think they'd be good for trimming body hair. The long handles don't make for safe close control. |

My Battlestar Galactica box set arrived (the superior original series). Absolute win. Hmmm...   Dirk Benedict is a handsome son of a bitch. I liked the first series or two of the reboot, but it went badly downhill and the last series was painful to watch. |

Well his poems.

Morning Shenguin fans!
I am camping. It rains a lot.
I have a biography of Lord Rochester in my to-read pile, and it's meant to be better than the last biography of him I read. One of my favourite poems by him is the lines he wrote under a portrait of Nell Guin, which are held by some to be the filthiest poem ever written in English:
She was so exquisite a whore
That in the belly of her mother
She turned her cunt so right before
Her father fucked them both together.

My USB stick arrived. I only ordered it last night. Classic Jeff.
I can't wait to thrust my packed dongle into the slot later for some hot retro action.
Macdonalds for lunch. Double cheeseburger, fries, Tropicana orange juice.
