My trustworthy, loyal television is dying. It is a little sad to watch it deteriorating. If it was a human, it would be soiling its underwear and losing its memory. If it was a dog, it would be put to sleep. It isn’t a human and it isn’t a dog. It is, however, my friend. Well, kind of. I have spent a lot of time with it over the years. Currently, I have a battle every time I want to watch something, having to turn it on and off half a dozen times before it finally works. This evening, things took a turn for the worse. The picture has gone dark. It is a bit like everything I am watching is set within Wookey Hole Caves.
I think it may only be a matter of time before a trip to the tip has to be made. Luckily, I have a ready-purchased , young, flash replacement upstairs. This was originally bought to play the PlayStation on, but it now appears it’ll be the main TV. Yes, it may be a better model, but I have kind of fallen in love with this old bird and I’ll have a tear in my eye when it’s taken to telly heaven.

- KWYJIBO
I found an IQ Test online today.
I must admit - it was a lot shorter and easier than the one Bart cheated on, during that episode of The Simpsons, some stupidly long time ago! Despite its age, I am yet to see a Kwyjibo on a David Attenborough documentary.
There are only three questions in this...
- Power Cut
I had a power cut today. I'm pointing the finger of blame at Storm Hannah. Bitch.
Losing electricity is always a shocking and distressing experience. It's up there with your water being cut off, or a sudden disappearances of all oxygen and air.
Imagine if I had been blogging at the time of the thoughtless power interruption....
- Happy Birthday To… ??? (Part 1)
March 12th.
It was a very special birthday yesterday...
You may already be aware of who it was for - if not, perhaps you noticed the rather jazzy Google logo?
In case you still don't know what the hell I am on about, the Internet turned 30 yesterday... although there are many who still question the correct date...
