OK Computer

The computer appears to be working ok today - the slowness I encountered previously may have had something to do with the fact that we were trying to load 4,000 tracks off our CD collection onto the ipod at the same time.
It took a while but it was definitely worth doing, unfortunately though the majority of my music collection is on ye olde cassette and vinyl (I've got rid of all my wax cylinders) which is going to need replacing (might not bother replacing the Transvision Vamp Album though - however I may keep the sleeve).

Wendy and I had a great time last Friday - we met up with Pete and Hayley in Huddersfield and took a time machine back to our student days. We even went back to one of the (many) pubs we used to frequent. It had been turned into an Irish theme bar (Scruffy O'Neills or something like that) but has recently been converted back into its former guise - 'The Zetland'. And but for the fact you could see more than a yard in front of you due to the lack of smoke, and that it was largely empty even though it was Friday night, and that there were no last orders, and that the students don't look like students any more(mainly because they were all fat - how can students be fat? they aren't supposed to eat)... apart from that it was exactly the same.

Oz news... Surprisingly, its still destination Perth. And its looking like there's an excellent chance of being there some time in February...we'll have a better idea after the medicals.
