      Progress! She now wants 'just a little bit' of the dining table.

      How are you gonna watch tv now?

      The 'little bit' she has in mind is quite a bit more than the 'little bit' I had in mind.

    Got home to find SWMBO's iPhone has aquired a shocking pink rubber wetsuit. Think she's trying to tell me something?

      I think you only need to get worried when she brings home a pink rubber wetsuit for you.

  3. Coombe Barton

    just heard from the other side of the room - SWMBO talking to the dogs "Can I have just a little bit of the sofa?"

  4. Coombe Barton

    New laptop - 8GB RAM, 2TB hard disk - plenty of grunt for the day job.

  10. Coombe Barton

    At home marking resits - could think of something more interesting to have to be doing.

      You`re Baaaarmy!

  15. Coombe Barton

    Just upgraded the car - things that used to be obvious now require reading the manual - like how do you turn the damned radio off!

  16. Coombe Barton

    SWMBO at a works retirement do tonight - so I'm in bad company - home alone.

  17. Coombe Barton

    Just back from elderly relative who's had her roof severely damaged. Not as bad as some of her neighbours who've lost roofs completely.

    The way today is going I'm starting to sound more and more like Father Jack.

    Plenty of people around despite higher degree fees - it's not putting them off, apparently

      Still, it's sort of appropriate to represent all the BS that went into creating the whole thing.

      A satisfying vision of green old England can only be found in the country. In our towns and cities everything looks black.

      You'll have to be less obtuse.

      I always knew that oblique is the answer!

    Have just spent five minutes watching Shaun the Sheep. That's the only TV I'll watch all week.

      That's mine and my four and a half year old sons favourite programme.

    Remebering that little lumps of nickel silver flying from a Dremel mill are seriously hot. No prizes for guessing how I found out.

      As with hot bufferbeams. Never wear shorts when soldering!
