FINALLY played some BBCSEx against an actual human opponent in person tonight. Seems like we have a scene going in Barnsley now for it.

Straight lines like that come along so very,very rarely. So many ways to reply to that........................

Well, it's easy to find an opponent at a game like Modern Bullets. Less so at a more niche one.

Although I could do without the blown out voice today - got singing on Rock Band and of course it was a bit of All That Remains.

So happy the House of Lords voted against the new Tax Credit Legislation.
Apparently it's a unprecedented move that has stunned the Cabinet, and left them reeling.
Something to do with the fact that the Upper house isn't constitutionally able to reject or "block" financial proposals already voted through by MP's.
The fact that this bill was included in a non-financial package, and then blocked, which has left the government scrambling to reduce the Constitutional powers of the House Of Lords in the future, is making me happy.

Those Tories really don't like not getting their way.

Woot. Biopsies all negative. Come back in a year for a re-scope.

Awesome. But is the nausea solved or on the way?

The first surgeon sent me to a better quipped surgeon. The followup today was with the first one but he had copies of the second one's results. They symptom was that the outlet from stomach to the duodenumb was 'about the diameter of a pencil". This constriction being a classic sign of GERD (which can be treated pharmacetically) or of a side effect of Bariatric Surgeory, both of which could apply here. He didn't have a small enough scope so sent me two days later to the next step up hierarchically in the "bigness of hospital" rank. They knocked me out and used a baloon to dilate the restriction. Apparently it worked as the nasuea has receded remarkably in the following weel. The only potential down side with the current resolution is the second set of biopsies include one with the recommendation to be re-sampled and re-analyzed. Which they do during the next dilation in 4 weeks.

In the meantime I'm watching Lucy on the big screen, imbibing alcohol, nicotine, TH...er, Thobacco. It's an obscure brand sold only in specialty stores in a handful of small ex-pat cities across Central and South America.

Herself and I were talking about my developing cleanliness based OCD today (I was wiping the car seats down after the kids got in the car, and again when they left) when she said that it was a shame I never took this level of interest in the house.
I tried, in vain, to explain that's there's a level of control that is required for me to undertake a certain task. In other words, if it's too extreme I won't do it, because I know I won't be able to do it to "my standard". Yet with a small, controllable environment, like the microcosm of the house that is my car, I feel able to proceed, safe in the knowledge that I can accomplish said goals within a decent time frame, and not have that half-finished look.
Anyway, I decided to do it tonight, because the thought of creating a Mario likeness into a Pumpkin was too much.

Not only did I vanquish ALL dirt and re-distribute all detritus to the relevant places, I done it so that I was happy with it. Not an easy feat.
She was impressed to say the least, hence my happiness.
More importantly, I feel like a weight has been lifted.
Smug Mode....


ps For those of you with kids, you will know that tidying up whilst the kids are playing, is like brushing you're teeth whilst eating Oreos.
As I write this, I'm being gradually undone.
Hence the initial reluctance.

Cleaning in spite of kids? Good luck fighting the tide!

I don't feel hurrendously ill. Wooooooo hoooooooo.

Doctor Who having a cheeky swipe at the right-wing media's benefit fearmongering. Raised rather a chuckle in our house!

[Maark Abbott]

After this six-day slog I'm off work for a solid 13 days across my birthday. Fallout 4, Taco Bell, and all being in my favour Gamma 4.0 falls somewhen around there.

I went to see Stewart Lee last night (first time out and about in a couple of months, go me!). He was hilarious as expected but the best bit was that Steve Coogan was sat behind us!!! It was hard to concentrate properly on the show because I was trying to see which bits he found the most funny.

Got back home yesterday after a 21 hour flight. Had me a big sleep and went and bought The Aeronaut's Windlass today.
