Unpleasant tasks we find ourselves doing as we get older... [Oct. 23rd, 2009|05:30 pm]
[Current Mood | uncomfortable]

Top of my list for this one has to be letting yourself into an elderly relatives house and exploring around tentatively (at the request of their neighbors) to establish if said relative has died.

As I just had to do.

Creepy.

Major thanks to votemarvel for some practical assistance in upgrading my P.C.

My ignorance of how this thing works is a source of considerable embarrassment to me.

Pet theory. [Jul. 4th, 2009|08:11 pm]

I have been enjoying Joss Whedon's 'Dollhouse'  (I'm up to episode #7 - don't spoiler me!) and have been wondering who the mysterious Alpha might be.


Current operating assumption...

                   ... it's going to turn out to be Joe 90 isn't it?

Personal Resolution – Addendum [Apr. 12th, 2009|05:14 pm]
[Current Mood | contemplative]

Having undertaken to avoid certain sensitive (i.e. argument inducing) topics during pub-based conversations - namely my politics and my religious convictions (or, to be precise, my lack of the latter) – it would be much appreciated if certain people who have read my livejournal post on this matter would be so kind as to avoid attempting to raise these topics at every available opportunity.

This is bonfire night behaviour - much akin to lighting the blue touch-paper and then retiring to a safe distance to enjoy the fireworks (i.e. Me making a complete arse of myself).

I am aiming this point at you Gary - the agent provocateur of the Highwayman knitting circle.

I say thee nay!

Personal Resolutions [Mar. 29th, 2009|12:09 am]
[Current Mood | depressed]

1: I will not talk politics in the pub, no matter how right I am convinced I am. It never ends well.

2: I will not pontificate on my religious beliefs (or more accurately my lack thereof) in the pub. No-one is interested.

3: I will not inform my friends that voting for their preferred political party is akin to a battered wife returning to their spouse. They will not thank me for my insightful observations.

Your result for The Supervillain Archetype Test...

The Megalomaniac

Ambitious, Intelligent, Calculating

The Megalomaniac is the most prestigious of super-villain classes. If anyone is ever going to rule the world, it will probably be you.



Your main goal in life is power and domination, you have the tools to do it, and you know it. Megalomaniacs are intelligent and forceful, and they tend not to let their emotions cloud their judgment. Most of the time. They are usually found, or not found, working at the top of a huge structured organization, though many prefer to work by themselves.


The Megalomaniac has but one flaw, but its an invariably fatal one; arrogance. He knows that he can take over the world, and he isn't afraid to let you know, often elaborately and in great detail. They often do not foresee the fly in their ointment, because they do not want to admit that such a fly could exist.


Sample Megalomaniacs: Dr. Doom, Lex Luthor, Ras al'Ghul, Kang the Conqueror, Emperor Palpatine, Brain

Wow - I really suck at courage. [Jul. 7th, 2008|09:07 pm]

Your result for The Best Thing About You Test...

Intelligence

Intelligence is your strongest virtue

Intelligence (also called intellect) is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, and solve problems. And you? Your brain shines. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your intelligence runs deepest.


It is likely you're a smarty-pants. And it's likely (but not necessary) that your discipline score is high also. It takes a certain resolve to maintain all those neural thingies.


Intelligent famous people: Einstein, Shakespeare, Da Vinci.


Your raw relative scores follow. 0% is low, and 100% is perfect, nearly impossible. Note that I pitted the virtues against each other, so in some way these are relative scores. It's impossible to score high on all of them, and a low score on one is just relatively low compared to the other virtues.


YOUR VIRTUES


50% Compassion


89% Intelligence


25% Humility


44% Honesty


25% Discipline


0% Courage


25% Passion

Dalek Biscuit [May. 29th, 2008|05:30 pm]
[Current Mood | amused]

A colleague of mine recently managed to find a biscuit cutter in the shape of the iconic, pepper-pot like, galactic conquerors.

Her children then produced quite a few of the Dalek horde in gingerbread (rather than bonded polycarbide armour).

Knowing my enthusiasm for all things 'Who' she brought a spare one in to work for me, where, frankly, I ate it.

But not before my crappy camera-phone captured it for posterity!



I particularly like the etheric-beam locators in puffed rice - nice touch kids.

Today I have been trying to sort out my pension details.

As a result of which I have given myself acute indigestion.

Is there an actual phobia for official forms and/or manilla envelopes?
