Yes, it's fun having a new puter to mess around on. Last week, everything was working. On Monday, the monitor broke - replaced that. On Thursday morning, the computer broke, replaced it yesterday. Now I can't get the Printer (All-in-one) working... and that was fine before! Speakers OK so far but need to be replaced soon. Microphone works (at my end of the equation) but my Skype buddies can't hear me at their end (aaargh).

What a day yesterday! Picked up a new computer with a fantastic spec for 410 GBP sans monitor. Then off to the Almeida to see Sam Shepard's 'The Late Henry Moss' (9+/10). Found a parking space 1/2 a minute from the Theatre (in Islington!) & had a superb meal at a French Restaurant. Now I have the joy of trying to get everything right on this puter so that I can get back to annoying people with strange emails, weird eBay listings and writing humour nobody understands.

Pleased to report that I've invented a new art form. This consists of placing ludicrous adverts on eBay.co.uk and then answering questions from potential bidders. If you visit eBay.co.uk you can find my adverts under: odd sock, broken pencil (no photo), limited edition broken pencils - eight only available & mystery item. Watch out for many more exciting items coming your way soon.

Have been sky-rocketed to International fame by placing a broken pencil for sale on eBay.co.uk ~ even made it onto LBC & Heart FM. Apart from that, have been watching 'Love Actually' Richard Curtis's masterpiece and another one straight into my top 100.

Everyone is dreaming of winning the big one this week! £125M is some serious money. Anyway, glad to report that I've made plans and will invest the whole lot in fine art. I reckon I could probably buy a couple of Van Gogh's for my study - that should impress my neighbour, Eric!
