    Oh yes, there's nothing like the cracks, hisses, and pops of vinyl. Oh, and don't forget that you have the put the needle down in *just* the right spot...

    Vinyl records are best used as frisbees. :evil:

    Oh dear I'm drunk ... without the spell checker I'd never succeed in writing proper English.

    Went to a concert of La Vela Puerca, great band, and they played well. But the audience ... geez ... it was in a posh club with posh-ish people. Last time I saw the band they were in a small club and every one was drunk, smoking (or smoking weed) and dancing. Certainly, then there were no shirt-wearers around, nor I-might-sweat-people, nor little blouse-wearing girls and polo-shirt boys. Sillly. Great band, good playing and music - definitely poor crowd and unsuitable location.

    84% today on a networking exam. This course is proving to be ridiculously easy :nolike:

    If it was ridiculously easy, you should have done much better than 84%

    Vinyl is for collectors now. Like me. My brother tried to use a record of mine as a cup holder, the fingers on his hand haven't worked the same since...

    I passed the Cisco network exams a few years ago, but forgot almost everything since. I really couldn't care less about when to use EIGRP and when BGP, etc, meh.

    I did see the crown jewels, but I couldn't see what the fuss was about. They couldn't interest me, even though some of the artifacts were made of gold and are inlaid with thirteen gazillion diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, pearls and other war loo.. eh.. legally obtained glitteries ;). They're are, btw, stored behind 10 cm thick massive steel doors and permanently guarded by people like him . I did like the stone and mineral collection at the Natural History Museum better than the crown jewels, especially the large marble collection and the large collection of minerals and semi-precious stones like malachite and Lapis lazuli.

    Alas I am facing a complete lack of anything remotely interesting to say on BOM yet I still have got this urge to do so.

    Oh yeah, I know, I want a bicycle ! I realised last week that it would take me approximatively an hour of riding to get to work, while it takes me currently 45 minutes of public transportation to do the same. The choice is, I think, quite obvious.

    I had a customer yesterday which for the first time in a long time pissed me off so bad I wanted to beat the living hell out of. Too bad I was on duty.

    Hah, similar here. It takes me about 50 minutes to go to work on public transportation (need to switch trains, and basically drive an 'L'). It takes me about 55 minutes when cycling and cutting it short. As I don't really have time to work out, but must work ... well, the synergy is obvious.

    Because it is not so great to be in sweat when arriving at work, I most of the time only cycle the 15km back. Anyway, when working five days that makes me cycle some 75 km per week, and much more if I do 'side quests' or cycle to work as well :)

    I have neither the equipment nor the motivation to cycle to work....I probably should though, but I never will. :rolleyes:
