Thoughts for the day.

Leave your keys in the car and your car gets nicked? Tough shit.
Leave your front door open and your place gets ransacked? Tough shit.
Use ‘iloveyou’ as a password and someone guesses it? Tough shit.
Transmit private data over an unsecure network and your stuff gets ‘hacked’? Tough shit.

How can it be a case for the coppers? You basically shouted your passwords across the room, or used a shite password. How do you prove you own a free gmail or blogger account? Malicious and distressing, yes. Criminal, not sure.

Take the piss out of your Aussie mates when England bowl them out for 190. Yeah? 92 - 7. Egg.

Starts tonight remember.

There is little that is much bigger in cricket circles than an Ashes Test match at Lord’s, the home of cricket.

A day of two halves. Advantage Aussies though I’d say.

prem econ

Anyone flown Premium Economy on Virgin? I’m flying to London and the PE ticket is about 4k more, just wondering if it is worth it.

Thanks

Decisions decisions.

5-6k econ on Cathay or Virgin.
10k premium econ on Virgin.
27k biz class on BA.
30k upper class on Virgin.
+60k miles to upgrade the Cathay econ to biz class, but waitlist only.

Hmmm.

14:10:32 Wed <Gunther> how do they eat rice in space?
14:16:47 Wed <Gunther> Also, if we lived in cities under the sea, then, where would we flush our toilets to?
14:18:09 Wed <Gunther> you can imagine the disappointment on the mayor’s face at the after dinner party having cut the opening ribbon only to find no toilets

No mention of rice here or here.

hot

Excuse the language, but fuck my ass it’s hot outside! Feels like 43 C according to the weather page.

Had “The Total Body Sweat” on the way home. I was just looking at my dripping forearms in wonder!

Of course, the Very Hot Weather warning has been issued for idiots.
