I had such arghhhhhh pulling hair out moment last night.... sat down at the computer to watch a movie got it running switched the speakers on and there was something funny going on.. there was music over the movie. so I stopped the movie the music kept going.

ahh one of the tabs I had open must have some advert or something on it playing the music, flick through the tabs, couldn't spot anything. So decided I'd close the tabs one by one to see if I could find the offending web page.... but i needed to keep the pages open so through about 25 tabs copy close tab.. music still going open new tab paste. next tab copy close tab music still playing open new tab paste... you get the picture.

Music is still playing.. close firefox down music is still playing. close other programs down Music still playing.. close everything down to desk top music still playing..

Argh where is it coming from?

Log off music still playing...... ahhh the little one was still logged in and the music was coming from the Moshi monsters weeblings game that was being played earlier.. it was droving me crazy! but how crazy is it that it was playing on my screen name!

The (semi?) permanent roadworks on the A1 complete with average speed cameras to protect the hard working construction teams - who aren't even sodding there on a Sunday, or for that matter on any other day I've driven the road but that's almost beside the point.

And slightly more irrationally I'm annoyed that White Van man is no longer in the fastest vehicle on the roads, now it's much more likely to be some tool in an LS200/Warrior/Navara/pickup type thing who reckons he owns the road - somehow they're even more obnoxious and annoying than the quite frankly disturbing concept of offspring from mating a BMW and an Audi driver.

Powercuts.....

...reset fire alarm, check fusebox, find candles, lighter, torch, flasks (fill with hot water from tap), hot water bottle (it's freezing up here atm).

Power is back on now but I'm not trusting it.... Kettle boiled, flasks filled with water from kettle and..................

.....make a giant mug of tea!! It was a pretty big outage took out from at least Inverness to Burghead (about 40 miles apart).

That's one thing I don't miss about living in the wilds of Scotland. Up in Shetland, just about everybody has Calor gas heaters and stoves - especially in rural areas. It's not unknown for the power to go off for 2 days in some of the remoter areas.

Regarding the A1. I'm glad to see it's not just up this end of the A1 there seems to be permanent roadworks. I moved to this area 4 years ago and there have been some sort of major roadworks on the A1 all that time.

Reminds me of a joke I recently read:
Q: "So what's it like when there aren't roadworks here?"
A: "I wouldn't know, I've only been driving for 20 years...".

People who are surprised when confronted with the need to be ready when they've had plenty of warning.

For instance:

People who start digging for their passport when they get to the counter. People who start looking for their car on a ferry when we are all driving off.

You know who you are. You cannot tell me that the worlds largest land mass snuck up on you whilst you drank your super-mocca-locca-chino? Did you not think it was suspicious that you were drinking alone? Did the announcement telling you to go to your car not sink in, even though it was repeated in 3 different languages?

And yet, with the extra time you've given yourself, you still couldn't manage to work out where you parked your bloody car.
