Ebay purchases and trying to open them
Might need to send this one back. Not the cat cocktail sticks of course.

The beast
Working closely with IT does have some benefits. I've just managed to aquire The Beast as my new desktop.
Most of our work is done remotely on a bank of 10 servers but I still use a desktop for everyday stuff. It's fairly old, but the fact that it's an i7 will make my life a lot easier.

A good man died so young
I've just found out that a good friend of mine died today. He was only 51 but was suffering from brain cancer for a number of years. He fought a good battle but survived longer than his doctors would have predicted.
I met John at Lloyd's and amongst other things we went to many gigs together in London but perhaps the highlight was our random trip to Hong Kong (10 years ago today).
We were on one of the maiden flights of the short lived airline Oasis Hong Kong and shared a hotel room together. I think the flights and hotel cost a little more than £400. Bargin!
This is a photo from the lifts of the Four Seasons hotel on the main land. On the way to a bar of course.

Least satisfied rail users identified
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-35599189
It's no surprise to me that South Eastern were top (bottom) of the list when it came to disgruntled rail users. I think my train in the morning has got me into Cannon Street on time only twice so far this year. That's 2 out of 31 attempts, or 6%. Pretty poor.
However, i'm used to it so I kind of let it wash over me, if anything it's a benefit, afterall i'm on my way to work so the more time i'm on the train watching boxed sets on my tablet means less time in the office doing work. Win, win.
I am more annoyed about the headline used to click on the BBC article.

I was hoping the article to actually be a top 10 of angry commuters, perhaps with clips of them venting their anger at rail company managers who get wheeled out occasionally to try and dissipate the open hostility of commuting life.

Who would have thought
Hello, My name is Sam
I'm a content aggregator from the TPN network
While browsing youtube I notice your channel and I think you
have great content and an awesome personality.
because you are focused on great videos we'd like to invite
you to apply for a partnership with our fast growing YouTube network TPN!
Shame it's basically only an advert for their product and
they don't actually think I have an awesome personality. I mean, what's not to like about funny cat
videos?

Ankles are bad
I keep 'popping' my ankle when walking. I feel intense pain for about 10 seconds and start to limp but after a little while the pain subsides and there's not much evidence of anything having happened.
It originally happened on a rugby pitch over 20 years ago (jeez...) when I was 15 and jogging backwards, both ankles gave way. Everybody on the sidelines heard them both pop and made an audible "oooohhhhhh". Within 5 minutes I was back and playing again.
It usually happens around once a year but it's happened a couple of times in quick succession so a bit annoyed about it.
