Dear Internets

[matgb]

Please to be not crashing every 5 minutes. I know the house wireless network is both beyond my control and a little not very good, but it would be nice if I could actually open up a page and/or hit 'submit' for a comment without getting a 'server is taking too long to respond' message, m'kay?

Also, Gmail? It would be nice if you stopped crashing as well, 18 months no problems, and now you've opened up to all without the need for an invite code you decide to start crapping out on me? Not good, not good at all.

No cookies for you.

Best regards, Mat

PS, once you're fixed, if you could tell the company that makes the conference badge printers that having to define which USB slot they're plugged into when you install the driver onto a laptop that will be set up by a different person actually at conference is a bloody stupid thing that breaks the point of USB, I'd be grateful, because the install software is annoying to use once...

Not my tastes, but the tastes of the people who make Scotch. Who also, I believe, object to it being called scotch. "Scotch on the rocks" is an American term, and if we trusted THEM on food and drink...

* pokes you for being a bloody southerner *

...

Damn.

You know, I'm spoiling for a fight but I don't want to fight with you.

:/

I don't suppose you could pass me on to the LJs of some eminent Tories and I could go pick fights with them instead?

[matgb]

If I want a fight, uk_politics is always worth posting to. Alternately, flydanman has always been their resident troll. Personally, I tend to end up going for authoritarian NuLabourite, they're more fun to wind up, Tories are generally either too easy or actually smart, depending on whether they're Boris style liberals or Maggie/Tebbit style 'victorians'.

There's always the more widespread blogs; ConservativeHome is always a giggle to read (so stupid), and devils_kitchen has a fine line in crude insults to all things Left. Especially Polly Toynbee.

And I'm not trusting any 'merkins, but how the creator of something wants it to be used is irrelevent; whole point of freedom of choice is that I'll do what I want with it, which is whisky and lemonade on ice, and salad cream with every meal, thankee muchly ;-)

(also, my net connection is really dead, so if I disapppear, it's because I gave up)

Hah! I attempted to go to sleep and look where THAT got me.

Oh, you're just BLATANTLY trying to turn me on now.

... or maybe not.

Isn't a merkin a pubic wig?

[matgb]

6.07am? Ouch. A merkin I think is a pubic wig, yes, but it's also a nice little abbreviation thing for our friends across the pond, seems to work well...

As for the other?

Rawr, talk FU to me baby... ;)

* eyes your layout *

Oops.

Note to self: start more new threads.

[matgb]

Yeah, it threads really badly, 30 pixels embedded per comment; keep meaning to bug chasethestars to fix it, but it's rare I get long threads...

I've hit it with ?format=light already...

I'm a bit of a style-mine nazi anyway ;)
