Me too, especially cats which is why I have 3 leopard geckos

Did have loads, lot less now though. Just the 2 snakes and the axlotls. Wasn't fair to keep the rest, never at home.

And its a flat above foregate street, its the one your mate used to have shoes.

Above the bike shop? Apparently its nice in there. Is that the one which you asked me to see if there were any windows?

 

[tek-monkey]

Yeah, thats the one. Will let you know how it is

Or everything in the subject field, and nothing in the body.

I did a little technical support a while back, and the most annoying thing someone can do by email can do is delete all previous correspondence and replace it with 'tried that - didn't work'. When I rule the world, this will be punishable by death.

Online streaming services shut down so I can't illegally watch american dad online (poor poor fox only grossed 20000 billion last year, they neeeeeed the dvd sales) grrrrrrrrrrrrr. I would watch it legally but I don't live in the US and if they think I'm buying the DVD when it comes out they have another thing coming. DVDs pish me off too how can they justify £20+ for it when they literally sell millions of units. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Me to but I've discovered that I wasn't allergic to my Yorkie, he doesn't moult, I never knew that, so I think it must be just furries who moult.

Quite likely although its the dust from the skin which causes the irritation not the hair itself. I find, as do many, that older animals are much worse than younger ones for causing irritation. I have the added joy of asthma which is kicked off by almost anything. Except smoking, ironically.

I have found that I can spend all day in the house with my friend's 3 cats (young) but if i go to my girlfriend's parents house with their one 22 year old cat i am awful in moments and anthhistimines do nothing. Ended up passing out the last time i was there :/

22yo cat?!?
I thought they were doing the cat equivalent of drawing their pension at about 15?

Yup, its a freak cat - actually 2 months older than I am. Poor thing looks nearly dead though, can hardly walk/see/hear but still really friendly and seems happy enough.

Bloody new computer is buggered! Had to wait almost 2 weeks for Dell to deliver my shiny new XPS system. Anyway it arrives, I unbox it and plug it in and the graphics card is knackered Looking at the packaging I don't think the system was abused in transit, and to be honest this isn't anyones fault but its really really annoying! Also I popped open the case to see if the card was seated properly (which it was) only to see a dated sticker with QC Tested on the inside of the case! I disagree!

Anywayway this has really p1553d me off and it's going to take ages to fix as I'm away this evening and tomorrow, and then next week I am away for 3 more days, so unless they can come and sort it on Monday its going to be another (almost) 2 weeks before I have my new computer working

Rahhhhhhhhh

 

[tek-monkey]

Got a card you can use til then?

 

[db]

Rahhhhhhhhh

god, i absolutely hate it when you wait ages for a new toy to arrive, and then it's b0rken when it turns up

Yeah I have that 9250 PCI but I don't know how it will affect the warranty or anything. Going to speak to a rep from dell at lunch time see if i have onsite as part of the xps premium care. if so will get them to come monday.

DARN those Gestapo traffic wardens. Thought I drank over my limit last night (despite the prices in the Gatehouse) so I left my car in the walls last night whilst attending lmhr. Collected it this morning and got a Bloody ticket. Not like there was a problem with parked cars as I was the only car between Rileys and the Queensway. B"!"!??ds. I don't ever usually drive into town either, it was just because I came from out of town and was running late so went straight there.
