Frizz

Are you thinking about opting out of the NHS database? I have serious doubts about the idea that if I go for any medical service my records would be openly available. The only benefit would be if it would mean that the NHS would start taking a more holistic view, but I doubt that would genuinely happen and then the negatives seem to outweigh the positives. What do you think?

My email is down: “550 mail not accepted from blacklisted IP address…” Honestly, I haven’t been sending out spam…

Hi, Welcome to Virgin.Net Chat and Remote Assistance. My name is Gavin. How may I help you?
11:33 Hi, I just tried to send an email and it says 550 mail not accepted from blacklisted IP address
11:34 Ok, we do know of this issue and we are working to resolve it
11:36 can I do anything to change the IP address I’m on? [shows how much I know]
11:37 No, this is a Virgin issue and we are working to resolve it as we speak
11:46 how long do you think it will take?

Well I guess that means they don’t know how long it’s going to take…

Love those “minor delays”.

London culture… Velazquez at the National Gallery.

Time magazine has chosen YOU as their person of the year.

I’ve just found out that I have an ancestor who in 1609 was burnt at the stake by the Portuguese Inquisition. I think that might be more information than I wanted or needed to know.

Just had a Skype conversation where I was able to have control of the other persons desktop using WebDialogs Unyte - I feel like I just jumped into a new age…

Last week I was mortified because John remembered that I’d been late to his birthday party last year… So yesterday I managed to only be a little late, arriving at the same time as a set of grandparents, so I think that’s acceptable. It was a fun day. I bought him some walkie talkies - which we tested. Then after everyone had gone we had a go at Operation, which was a lot smaller than I remember, but just as hard. John; “this is really hard isn’t it”. Me; “yes it is”.

OK, so I’ve written to the company to ask why they are recommending/selling such a toxic product. I feel a bit better…

I’ve been feeling so guilty about the new thing with a strap that it’s stayed in the bag all week. I finally took it out to spray it with some lethal smelling stuff that actually says on the can that it’s “dangerous to the environment”. These days you have to read the label for everything.
