OK some local geography for you (this is going somewhere I promise), I live in Hamilton in Scotland. I used to live in a neighbouring village called Bothwell, which is about a 20 min walk or 5 mins in the car away from Hamilton. Bothwell is an affluent area, full of footballers (Rangers and Celtic mainly).
It turns out that, and I’m no great fan but if I’d ONLY KNOWN!, that Claudia Schiffer was in Bothwell yesterday.
Claudia Schiffer. Gorgeous blonde model. Near my home. And I missed it. Typical.

www.digitallis.co.uk ShortPopUp saved my life. OK, ok it only saved my toolbar but you know what I mean. A top little tool this, I highly recommend it. I have a kickass Winamp menu in my toolbar now. I just create a new playlist and ShortPopUp (which is configured to look in the directory for only .m3u files) picks it up and displays it. Works on network drives too. Bliss. Clever and simple. The best ideas always are!

“It could happen…” – dunno why but this really hit my funny bone. Almost coughed up a lung! (Leading to much strange looks from fellow co-workers)

stargazer – scant consolation I know, but it’s reassuring (in a horrible, “shouldn’t have to be like this”, kinda way) that there are others in similar situations at the moment. Thought it was just us.

Golden glory for Britain’s curlers. WOO HOO!!! I won’t start my usual moan about how they are actually Scottish, they do actually mention this in the article.
