Distant memories

When I was young I usually watched these kind of Childrens shows, as they made me the well rounded adult I am now.

War..Huh...What is good for...people who enjoy re-enactment really.

In the words of the song, by Edwin Starr.  War, huh, Yeah, What is it good for, absolutely nothing, Uh Huh. Although, yesterday this was proved wrong as it was good for something. It is good for the 6,000 people who I am told are member of the Sealed Knot   . There are those of us, whose hobbies tend to be more sedate in nature; Reading, Gardening, making ships out of matchsticks and then there are those who believe that a weekend could not be complete without charging into some one else behind a 30ft ash pike, dressed as a time traveller from the 17th Century. I am, sadly, not one of these individuals as the idea of camping that frequently fills me with dread. Let alone how you tie down a pike or a halberd to the roof bars of a Ford Fusion. But thanks must go to those individuals who, do, want to live that lifestyle and be truly passionate about their hobby.

New, old car!

My wife has the main car. It's the one I use to commute the 60 miles to work and then back again in the evening. I will be using her runaround for 2 work days. It is a tiny little Toyota Yaris.

B) I have now had the car for 3 days and am still unable to figure out how to tune the radio to another station. C) I have, with the help of the next door neighbour, figured out how you turn main beam on and, more importantly, off again. So, that's been pretty successful. starting it, pointing it and stopping it has been okay so far, too! Yet, it's still an elephant in a shoe box.

Complete Blast From The Past...A little Tear

One of the many reasons, I do not use Hotmail as my main account is that it is particularly prone to being hacked. My mate's was today so I received a couple of spam emails selling drugs and, working from home earning millions. Yet, one of his friends replied informing him he had been hacked and to change his password (Hence, passwords should be varied a bit, every now and again). I was copied in and I saw that he must have an old email address as I was tonytheaker@tiscali.co.uk. This was one of my very first email addresses! I felt a little tear of nostalgia form for that Tiscali account, which I had when I was using dial up internet and got kicked off every 2 hours.It must be over a decade old.
