My Xbox 360 died this morning, hard to believe I know that a Microsoft product could ever develop a fault, this must be a first.
I have tried to fix it myself using the usual technical methods – cleaning the lens and discs, checking connections, swearing and issuing threats of violence. It just doesn’t want to play with me anymore. I must admit I have neglected lately, so like an ignored elderly relative it has passed away in its sleep. Unlike Aunt Mabel though, my 360 can be replaced.
I hear the returns policy is about as much fun as pulling teeth. Luckily when purchasing the console I took out additional insurance so fingers crossed I won’t encounter the problems that most other customers have experienced when getting replacements. I’m going to give the insurers a call tomorrow, hopefully it’ll all go to plan and I won’t be dealing with one of the evil insurance companies you hear about every week on Watchdog.
I suppose my 360 died at the best possible time (if there was one). Summer is around the corner so I am less likely to be playing video games and Big Brother & the World Cup will keep me entertained in the viewing department.

It's been stuck on 27% since what feels like the year 1927, so your guess is as good as mine as to when it will finish and allow me to blog again.

- 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.

- 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....

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...
