Our newish Valliant Boiler blew up the night before good Friday. Flames, fire brigade, emergency gas shut off = no hot water, burnt side of house and us very thankful as things could be much worse. Now everyone is back to work I have to get someone to admit fault, it's a whodunnit. Was it Valliant for having a boiler that was known to have dodgy seals from new and didn't tell us that they needed replacing. Or the plumber for moving the boiler and not checking the seals? Or did he and find they were fine? In which case what cased the fire? I'll be on the phone again for quite a while, I may be gone some time.

A virus cause my .exe files to stop opening can some one help.? - Y! Answers
Just found that my friend is having PC problems. Went to have a look and couldn't figure out why the programs wouldn't open. Did a search and this was the answer, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100308123855AAQuNHh So I got the .exe files to open by downloading the patch while in Safemode with networking (press F8 repeatedly when booting up, the select safemode with networking) and I'm now running Malwarebytes free program to weed out any nasties. Ding ding, just found 3 objects so far... Final count on quick scan (6.49mins) is 12!

Ponder wonder poem
I wrote this on my iphone after reading some tweets from people moaning about unimportant stuff. I hav'nt written a poem before, it just spilled out. So don't expect much. Hope you Enjoy it. "I sit here Pondering the enormity of it all.
Wondering what important task should go first.
Then looking out to space and feeling very small.
It's not like I have to walk for miles for water from a muddy hole.
No need to hunt for days on end, risking life and limb.
I get my food from a supermarket, the waste goes in the Bin.
My home is snug and warm thanks to Central Heating.
Not made of mud and straw, hot by day cold at night.
Flies that sting, Mosquitos that bring, deceases like Malaria or Denge Fever.
When I get a fever I get drugs from my doctor to make me feel better.
Not worried about my teeth or eyes, they get checked and sorted.
Being and illegal immigrant must suck when you get deported.
I don't have any worries, my problems are small.
It's the other folk I worry about who've got bugger all.
Can't complain, can't moan and groan, all is well in my home.
The picture is big, there's lots to see.
Not just moaning old farts like me, who are doing fine and just don't get it.
Wake up, look around and be thankful.
It's not you in the hut with your baby dying of hunger.
It's not you in the Earthquake looking for your brother.
It's not you being shot at, poisoned or bombed. Shit, your life is better that you think, stop moaning, start living. See the world and be happy you're alright. Stop tweeting about how your life is shite, it's not that bad. So you have debts, your arm hurts a bit, you bleed a bit when you have a shit. Your nose is blocked, you can't sleep through the night. Your kids need new scooters or a mountain bike.
Your car is on HP, your Mortgage is massive.
You're doing ok, you're here another day. It can end sooner that you think, in a blink, you'll sink off the brink. Plink. Dead. No more. Gone. No more moaning, whining, tweeting about your aches and ills. So get up, rise up. Smile and be strong. Sing or dance to your favourite song. You are Alive more now, in this moment. More than ever before. Enjoy, love, laugh, give, share it's the law. " Chris P Taylor Feb 2011

What Happened at the Movies at Kids AM
Kids AM at VUE Cinemas used to be a great way to take all the kids to the Movies on a wet Saturday morning. First come first served for Only 95p each! You'd have to get there before 10am for a 10.30am Start or you'd end up sitting right at the front on the beanbags and getting a stiff neck.
We'd watch people coming in at 10.15am and it would be a mad rush to get the last seats.There would be groups of kids who had made the outing themselves to see a movie before shopping at the Mall with their spending money, probably grabbing a 99p burger too. Good fun and affordable.It was great, we've been loads of times and took our friends kids too, proper outing to the movies that was affordable
(as long as you stayed away from the Snacks that are priced as if we were at the last motorway services for a thousand miles) Don't get me started about the overpriced VIP Seating, uncomfortable and cold leather seats that take up more room than normal seats and so seat less people for more money. What Genius thought that one up. Yes, they are always the last to be sold, at a premium and whoever sits in them does so and grumbles. Anyway, over the last few weeks, Something odd happened, we'd get there early & it would be sold out. Turns out people are Booking online & paying the £0.70p Per Ticket booking fee. If there is four of you, that's £2.80 extra. OK, I agree that is still very cheap for a movie, but this is what annoys me: What about that kids who want to go to the movie with their friends and have a Saturday movie without Grownups pestering them?As a kid, going to the Movies myself was a very big thing for me and the thought of asking a grown up to Book online and pay nearly double the ticket price is totally ruining the idea of KIDS AM. (Lookout, I'm about to sound like a granddad: We'd pay 50p get two movies and a disco. Plus the popcorn was actually made on the premises. Can you believe they now buy them by the binliner)Kids AM is supposed to be for Kids. One adult taking as many kids as possible, or just kids to a movie. I've seen groups of 3 adults and 1 kid. Come on VUE, this is supposed to be FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.
Booking online takes the fun out of it.We'd say if we couldn't be there before 10am there was no point in going.Now, there's just No Point.

I got the best specs from a supermarket!
Watching Rip Off Britain on tv, they're talking about spectacles and the average cost of manufacture of one lens is 25p. The mark up for glasses I'd huge. For the record I just had my eyes tested and glasses made, for the first time in years, done properly first time. The cost for two pairs of high prescription glasses, thinned, anti scratch, uv coating was £50! For two pairs, amazing. Got them in Asda and I'm well impressed. So now you know. Thus is not an advert, I just wanted you to know.

Dave's 188lb catfish
Bloody hell Dave, I thought this was fotoshopped. Of course it isn't, but I bet you are well chuffed.
I'm told this is the biggest fish they have in this part of Spain.

Starry, Starry Night by the Strobist.
I had to share this great photo of the sky at night.
Being blind as a bat, I look up at the night sky and try to imagin what folks with better eyes can see.
Then I realise, it's not me at all, its because I live in light polluted England.
Now this picture was taken at 8000 ft above sea level in Colorado, 20 miles from the nearest city (you can see the Orange light pollution on the bottom left).
I'd like this image blown up to 16x7 foot and have it cover my office wall.
Love it, bloody love it.
(Stars Singing) "Are the stars out tonight, I can't tell if its cloudy or bright.. La la la."
