Double-post today because I accidentaly lost the beautifully-worded post I wrote earlier.

I managed to sell 97 of my old Playstation games on eBay over the weekend. This is pleasing. Posting them, however, isn’t.

I got to the post office earlier when only three people were ahead of me in the queue. Unfortunately for subsequent customers there were only two people serving the customers, with one set of working postal weighing scales between them, and I had 30 jiffy bags of PS1 games to send. I was not a popular guy, judging by the glares aimed at me, soundtracked by sighing and huffing of pissed off people in the queue.

By the time I left the queue stretched out the door and around the corner and easily had about 30 or 40 people. Fuck ‘em. It’s my right to post a shitload of mail if I want to.

Oh, and I got new shoes yesterday. Inexpensive but functional. Slip-on, not laced - because I’m lazy.

Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace is one of the funniest TV shows I have ever seen. It’s a spoof 80’s sci-fi/horror show in the style of The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits. Fucking genius.

Also. Why the hell is my office so cold? You’d think a “world class” university like UCL could afford some fucking heating. But then, you’d have thunk wrong. I’m wearing my coat indoors and warming my hands on my laptop battery every five minutes like a pillock. Where’s the sodding thermostat?
