Child's first day of secondary school. Slight trepidation, though as far as I know, no tales getting your head flushed in the bogs that we heard. She's jealous of her pals hand me down blazer as it fits and doesn't look new. In my day you didn't want a hand me down! Games. Fortnite Reload & Zelda a Link Between Two Worlds. On the trains The horrors of secondary school for new joiners, we had head flushings too but the worst was the birthday bush. If it was your birthday, you were hunted down by literally hundreds of kids in the playground and picked up and crotch slammed repeatedly into a small tree. It was horrific. Kids would beg, cry, scream, fight, bite etc ..in the days leading up to your birthday you would teased. Luckily for me I kept my birthday relatively under the radar and there were plenty of other birthdays around this time so I escaped.

I decided to update Fortnite and it took 7 bloody hours. A fraction of that will be the actual game, the rest bloated cinematic scenes, skins and other cosmetics I have no interest in and my hacked personal data being sent to China.

Graham Thorpe remained well trained, right to the end.

My son asked me the other day if I'd remembered it was bin day. Never been so proud in my life. Did he take the bin out?

On that note, I'm really happy with my soundbar, a lot of home theatre enthusiasts shit all over soundbar, but I think mine is awesome. Big improvement over telly speakers.

I did however decide against a subwoofer/ fancy home theatre, so I'm not a complete monster.

We're definitely the problem neighbours, they are really polite either side with perfect gardens and they take our bins out.
Our garden meanders between messy and kinda OK and we're also always screaming at the kids.

We spent 30 minutes in the garden and I saw one meteor. We had an app to point us to the correct bit of sky. I think it peaks after midnight.
You want to hear about cunt neighbours? I had coke dealing psychopaths next door to me at first house purchase. Never live next door to a council house, ever. Not around Sheffield anyway.

Which is ironic, as he's the one batsmen from that era who wouldn't regularly hang himself.

Morning Babyfark fans!
Telly update. I watched all 6 episodes of Daryl Dixon, it's based in France and they have these super zombies, but the latter aren't really utilised well. It's an OK series.
I also watched all of series 2 of House of Dragon, which was really fuckin' dull. Horrendously boring.
Cloudy and cool out, meant to get hot though. The weekend was absolute scorchio.

But apart from that, it was OK I guess. Didn't rain, which was a fuckin' first.

Did Babyfark go to Edinburgh a while back ? I was assuming this was to get some practice in for his joke bonanza at the fringe. Still waiting to see his headliner on the news. I went to East Kilbride for work. I stayed in a hotel above a car park and saw a drunk scally get arrested outside Glasgow Central (may have been one of you guys).

Well I removed my CPU, then refitted and once again added thermal paste and refitted the damn fan.
At first the red light was gone completely, I was happy. Then towards the end of a game of PUBG it briefly came on.

I reapplied the thermal paste on my CPU as the PC was overheating and now there's a red light staying lit on the motherboard. Oh boy...

First email of the day is some bullshit about a data breach. I then had to read our company policy on reporting breaches, all 22 pages of it.
It's going to be a long day.
I say we should stop using computers for work.

Just had a young IT technician I've never met come over and get a hard drive from me with some install files on it. It's encrypted and was showing him how to get in to it. He was making unnecessary small talk and asked me what I was doing tonight. This was I believe so he could tell me what he was doing. I told him, nothing special - it's bin night & I need to do the Asda order. At this point I of course asked him. "Boxing tonight. Going to be working on my.." At this point I zoned out. I wish I knew that was going to be his reply as I would have told him it was my turn for hosting the Knitting Bee. See also the boring "Rugger" guys in the office or that marathon running twat who runs every weekend and needs to tell everyone, emails around for sponsorship, give updates on his latest minor injury etc ...
