apple tv (please - no pc's are better pish i'm not in the mood)
so dubai yeah? hows that workin out for ya?

well its shit if you must ask, and the telly is shit too, so here's my question

i was considering apple tv (uk based proxy sight subscription so no censorship obv):

1. is there not just a bit of software that turns my 260 gig macbook pro with airport into apple tv?

2. assuming not - can i just get the 40gig base model apple tv box and back stuff up to my laptop or another external hard drive - such as my empty PS3 hard drive or the 500 gig hard drive im swapping for a bottle of vodka tomorrow?

I find myself bored out of my mind.

naturally work is mind-numbing, but the internet is just not that interesting anymore.

I lay the blame for this solely at the feet of you, b3ta.

I suggest that the naming and shaming of individuals beings now, with many fingers being pointed.

We need some rousing arguments and slagging matches, so break out your meat-puppets (or not if you don't fancy anonymity) and slag someone off. Right now!

When did you last get really really angry? And what did you do about it?
For me, it was last week at the job centre. I asserted this through being extremely patronising to the desk boy's boss who had assured me that it wasn't their fuck up. When proved otherwise, he was still unrepentant and refused to apologise until I pointed out that three people had now told me that it was their fault and apologised unreservedly.

Had a corking idea this morning
Musical cat collars...instead of having bells on them, a chip that motion detects and every time the cat moves, plays a couple of bars of a tune. So far, good tunes would be the "der-der" of Billie Jean, the "der-der-der-der" of the Pink Panther, maybe even the "der-der-der" of the Stripper - any other tunes you guys can think of ?

Made me smile to think of a cat walking along to the sound of Billie Jean, I must say.

So, what do you think - top idea or complete madness ?

And no, I haven't Googled yet to see if it exists already...

My boss (and probably his evil missus)
Have been through my inbox while I've been away over the bank hol.

What annoys me the most about this is that the last email they looked at, as it is the one which is open on my screen, is very clearly from my fella to me.

Like they haven't even tried to conceal the fact they've been snooping through my personal mail. Gaaargh.

in the land of the blind...
I am on a train to London, on my way to invigilate an exam. One of my contact lenses has just fallen out. I am very, very short-sighted (literally - obviously not figuratively so you can skip the tedious humour there). I don't have my glasses or any spare lenses with me as I thought I'd be home this afternoon. This is almost as bad as the one time I lost my glasses when very drunk and couldn't see to find them. Please keep your fingers crossed that I have spare lenses of any strength in work and then the final year students won't be able to cheat right under my nose while I struggle with this one-eyed fucked up depth perception.

Everything about this article just makes me so sad.
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/swaziland/5382713/HIV-sufferers-could-be-branded-in-Swaziland.html

MP Timothy Myeni has suggested making tests compulsory for every person in the southern African state and then forcing those who were infected to be permanently marked with a warning logo.

He claimed the scheme would help stop the spread of the killer disease by reducing sexual activity between HIV positive people and uninfected partners.

Speaking at a workshop for MPs on how to tackle the epidemic, he added: "Before having sex with anyone, people will have to check their partners' buttocks before proceeding,"

Campaigners furiously criticised the idea with Siphiwe Hlophe, a health campaigner, saying the system would contravene human rights laws.

She said: "How can a legislator lobby for the branding of HIV positive people?

"We do not need legislators who think like him because some of the people who voted for him could be positive, why is he then discriminating them?"

Swaziland has the highest HIV infection rate in the world, with around 43 per cent of the population believed to be living with the disease.

The tiny landlocked southern African kingdom has previously been criticised for its failure to tackle the condition.

Attended Chickenladies surprise birthday party which was fabulous and met some charming Southerners, then had a micro bash the next day with Tlentifinimaarhaysu who has a lovely beard and talks a lot but that's OK because I like to listen and he had lots of interesting stories.

I tried Pimms for the first time because I'm common and have never tasted it before. I also held one of Chickenladies chickens which was awesome and they are a lot cuter than I thought a chicken could be.
