Viruses

Billy had this virus last week. I saw a bit of the BBC’s Click Online progamme on Saturday evening. There was a piece about viruses. They mentioned this Computer Knowledge site. They have a very handy Virus Tutorial which gives you an insight into what they are, how they work, how to spot them, how to protect yourself from them etc. If you’re not a computer expert who already knows this stuff, go have a look, you might learn something useful.

Hey, it’s in the Guardian, it must be true

I took the Guardian’s “Are you an irritating colleague?” quiz, it said this about me…

You are the perfect, dream colleague. Your sunny disposition is cheering and you ALWAYS make the tea. Please feel free to drop down Guardian Unlimited’s chimney once the wind changes.

Supermarket scream

There was a screaming toddler in the supermarket yesterday morning. He began screaming as soon as his Dad dragged him off the Bob the Builder ride outside the main door and his Mum sat him in the trolley. His parents tried everything, coaxing, bribery, distraction, stiff words. They finally settled on the “ignore the hell out of the little darling” approach. Nothing worked and he screamed all the way though fruit and vegetable, he kicked and struggled through the dairy section and he wept uncontrollably through toiletries. He saved the best for last, hitting the grand finale at the checkout. People were looking, single people with no kids were doing that eye rolling thing and vowing that they would make their children behave when they have them. Other parents were giving that empathetic “We know what you’re going through.” kind of look. Older people were giving that “In my day….” kind of look. We ignored everyone and took the little sod home where he became sweetness and light again, thus avoiding spending the rest of the day locked in the “Spider Cupboard”, mwahahahahah!

Show us your nuts!
