So I sit here at work, with that damn Madonna track in my head, ever since I wrote the topic entry. Bugger!
Tomorrow I fly to Morrocco for a weeks holiday, so this will be the last update until my return. Unless the hotel has an internet connection I can use...
I haven't packed yet - but I do have my list ready and yes, this time - it has the camera on it.
Hopefully, I wont get caught out by the new "hand luggage" rulings that are the current blight of the airborne traveller. As long as I can have my iPod and Palm PDA I shall be happy. Take that from me and I shall start kicking off. (By kicking off, I mean having a real go at someone, scream and shout, stamp my feet and then start hitting people. Fortunately, this will all be going on inside my head and not out in the real world where I would immediately get banned from flying. I might be mad, but I'm not stupid!)
A couple of interesting snippets. First up, The IT Crowd. A C4 series that appealed to me very much (as someone who spent many years doing PC support and still do in a way). Apparently, on the DVD release, there is an option in the menus for l33t subtitles. How geeky is that. I may have to purchase this. Or maybe add it to my Xmas list *HINT*HINT*
YouTube has a selection of classic Harry Enfield in the shape of Mr Cholmondley Warner videos. Superb!
Ever fancied wandering thinking your whole life is actually an FPS? By wearing these?

Spam mail recently has taken a new turn. They now send you a graphic of the text in the advert so that it doesnt get caught in the spam filter software - neat idea. I had one today (probably about increasing the girth of my penis, making my penis longer, making my spunk more copious, pleasing my woman, keeping my penis erect for longer, giving myself priapism, etc, etc) when I noticed text in the source email that had nothing to do with the advert. It is reproduced below:

Oh yes. We are now getting spam, where the writers are including lines from theme songs to TV shows. Which has actually made it more interesting, as I can now spend time trying to play a game of "Guess the TV show!". If you recognise them, comment.
I'm going home soon, to pack, find all the relevant paperwork I need (passport, insurance, etc, etc) and get ready for a week in the warm.
And remember, if you ever meet the President of the US, don't offer him the surprise gift of a firearm by whipping it suddenly out of your coat pocket.
