So, the gambling (and viagra) site spammers are still automatically posting to my comments. It would appear though, that they don’t even check to see if the posts are appearing anywhere! I’ve been blocking their posts since the first day they appeared, yet they still keep coming. What do they expect to happen - suddenly I’ll reconsider and put back all the spam?! Furrfu.

Richard has some pics of last night’s games night on his blog. Gotta love the pic of me, eyes closed in a very odd just spinning round pose!
No Fuller or Adz, but the rest of us enjoyed a series of head-shot filled deathmatches, followed by an epic (some might say over-long) Rise of Nations campaign. In the end, it stalemated.
Things were interrupted somewhat by the hugely entertaining prospect of talking to Lisa (Rob’s better half) who via the magic of Skype was talking to Rob and then the entire room. 
I was very impressed with Skype - Lisa’s voice never dropped out, and the quality was better than some mobile phone conversations I’ve had. After a bit of digging in the box of bits in the garage, I found my web-cam, so we could all wave at Lisa. It’s amazing what a group of gamers (two of whom were slightly pissed) will find entertaining!
Rob and Chris both stayed over, and I think Chris probably had the better night’s sleep - Rob claims he snores, something Chris vehemently denies! 
It’s been a while - I’ve been busy. But had to come back to the blog albeit briefly to delete the fscking comment spam that some lousy gambling site plastered all over my blog.
I’ve turned comment moderation on for now, but will implement a more sensible whitelisting scheme when I have time.
Gits.
On a brighter note: I’m off to see Have I Got News For You being recorded tonight!
Phil’s started reviewing music again over at MP3Monster’s Music Blog. There doesn’t seem to be any way to select individual articles on his site, so that link will take you to the front page.
They’re his “10 Minute Reviews” of what he’s listening to at the moment.
Warning: This post contains sweary bits. Just thought you should know.
I’ve decided that from now on, I shall drive everywhere with my full beam on. Since it would appear that a reasonable percentage of the other fuckers on the road are driving around with the intent of dazzling every other road user, I may as well join their ranks and point my full beams at every passing car. What the hell, I may just turn on the fog lights too, let’s really light up the road, like some twat on the M3 was doing tonight. I passed 6 cars, and was still being dazzled by this idiot in my rear view mirror. Maybe I should just go the whole hog, and get those super-brite, dazzle-plus, eye-sight-be-gone bulbs that appear to be brighter than the sun. Then I can really piss people off.
OH YEAH, and while I’m ranting. This is for all the illiterate peons:
Y O U R means YOUR, Y O U apostrophe R E means YOU ARE.
When you get it wrong you are announcing to the world that you really couldn’t give a shit about how well you communicate with your fellow man. You ignorant fucks.
AND: For some reason, TiVo decided not to record the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy tonight. Despite the fact that the Sky Guide, and every other TV/Radio guide has got Hitchhiker’s on at 18:30 on Tuesdays on Radio 4 for the next four weeks, TiVo’s programme guide decided to list something completely different. So, because it couldn’t see HH in the list, it recorded nothing. Now I have to wait until Thursday to get the latest episode. Not a huge disaster admittedly, but still bloody irritating.
