Is senility contagious?

I hope not, although recently I seem to have caught an accute case of it. I had a great idea for a blog post on Saturday, but between having the idea and screwing my ankle (AGAIN!!!), by the time I got home I had forgotten it.
This is happening with monotonous regularity at the moment [...]

Wolfstock…or Wolfstonbury

So, Born Wild have been playing for 90 minutes if you don’t include warm-ups. They are pretty good to be honest.
A few poor covers, but some good quality stuff too.
Thought I would send a quick update to show you the view from my living room window. It’s like having my very own VIP [...]

Hmm – There could be a reason for the price…

So…I moved into a flat that is above a busy Irish pub in Frankfurt. The rent is great and to be honest the noise doesn’t bother me. In fact, since I moved in, it has been considerably quieter than I anticipated.
Tonight, however, may test this theory. The bar across the road from [...]

German Customer Service…

Seems to be a bit of an oxymoron to me. I do not have the internet as arranged. I now have to wait an additional week to get it sorted, as the engineer that was supposed to be at my apartment between 08:00 and 16:00 did not show up.
He did however find the [...]

No internet….aaaargh

So right now (according to my ISP), I have until Wednesday to wait until my net gets reconnected.
Quite frankly it is killing me at the moment. No blog to bore you senseless with, no pr0n to surf for (just kidding mum)..
No updates to my (perfectly legally acquired) TV show collection. I am [...]

Tired and back…sort of

Well, I am back home and should be back online around the 16th of this month, a little while after they originally said, but not too bad I guess. It will give me the opportunity to get my apartment in order I suppose.
I had a hell of a week, but it was very enjoyable…I [...]

Almost there…

To quote Billy Connolly….. Jesussufferingfuck
Everytime I look around the apartment and think.. “Just another hour or so”, I discover something else that has been bloody forgotten.
Still, it would appear that I have been blessed by <INSERT DIETY OF PREFERENCE HERE>, as my friends are pretty bloody amazing.   Let’s recap my last few days:
Friday:

Work as normal [...]

Pick and choose…apparently

Had a great one yesterday at work. As I have said before, I run a Service Desk and this means that we are responsible for logging all user issues into a ticketing system.
Sometimes we fix them straight away, other times we have to pass them on to other teams. Yesterday, we transferred a [...]

Procrastination…sounds more active than it is

So, as you may recall from my Don’t Panic post, I don’t have a lot of time to get quite a lot done. However, I am sorely lacking the kick up the arse required. Let me give you last night as an example, my planning was thus:

Get home
Have a bite to eat
Finish main [...]

It’s official – I hate packing

Dagnabit packing sucks.
I mean, just when you think you have cleared a room, you find more stuff somewhere else that should be in the box you JUST FUCKING SEALED.
AAAAAAAAARGH
Still…I think I am getting there. Just need to figure out how to get 2 apartments full of gear into a Mercedes Sprinter van…seeing as the [...]
