Colleagues who think they look big if they make everyone else feel small.

I can't be arsed to argue with them. I just spend more time working hard to prove why they can be replaced by robots.

I was delivering a couple of computers I'd been working on to clients of mine. Decent enough ride in and back apart from the berk in the Audi.

Read this in Time Out magazine. I lived in Crouch End less than 50m from that shop for 3 years around that time, bought my sweeties there every week and didn't see a single zombie.

No gripe at all. Its 14*C, and no breeze, predicted to reach 18*C. Second day in Spain, and no return ticket to the UK.

You realise that if you can't see a zombie, you are the zombie

Scam phone calls purporting to be from the Telephone Preference service. 2 calls yesterday and another 2 today. Strong Indian accents and claiming to have English names.

** update** another 4 calls today from them making 6.
