The new TV
Posted by PooJee @ 2:24 AM, Monday, 28th December 2009

After the mega-fail attempt to buy a TV on Boxing Day and the Electronics Store not having the choice of TVs I thought they would I finally picked it up from Tesco. I’ve been looking at the display models over there since the end of October.

Yup, it’s Christmas

Or it was, but it still is. If that makes sense!
I went down to the electronics store to buy a TV today. Unfortunately I couldn’t find what I was looking for (read: they were too damned expensive!) so we went to wait for a bus at Warrior Square. Opposite this bus stop is a Memorial for Queen Victoria, which today (and probably for the last few weeks) was donning a Christmas hat. It was pretty amusing to see, so I snapped a few pics with my mobile. What makes it amusing is it’s a nice change for the Traffic Cone she’s wearing all year round.

This entry is more for my own reference, but by all means keep reading if you’re interested…
I developed a problem on Windows 7 where I was being prevented from right-clicking on pinned items on the taskbar, this further extended to selecting certain options in the start menu and applications such as Photoshop. Another symptom of this was the top bar of the window flickering, like a key was being held down on the keyboard. I did the following to try and remedy this:
- Rebooted (natch)
- Checked all keys on the keyboard, even unplugged the keyboard – the problem still persisted.
- Created a new account to see if the problem continued, it did.
- Restored my PC back to 24th December before this issue occurred.
After reading around and finding nothing I tried something else and it worked.
NOTE TO SELF: UNPLUG THE GOD DAMN MEMORY STICK WHEN I’M FINISHED.

And it’s almost over…

I’ve just gotten back from my Nan’s house. Turkey was eaten, alchohol was consumed, Pokémon was played and the grim Christmas Day episodes of Eastenders and Coronation Street were watched – despite the fact I don’t watch either throughout the year.
I decided it was time to go when The Royale Family came on. When I came in I checked the TV listings and noticed that BBC1 has the following back-to-back, The Royale Family, Gavin & Stacey and then Catherine Tate. C’mon! It’s meant to be Christmas, not a taster day for hell! The bright side though is Speed is on later on tonight, though I may pass because I was meant to be watching Die Hard when I got in last night, but in the end I got sleepy and ended up falling asleep for around three hours!
Anyway here’s my Christmas presents haul this year.
3rd Generation iPod Touch 32GB
Bluray Drive (PC)
Borderlands (PC)
New Super Mario Bros (Wii)
Family Guy Season 8 (DVD)

Hope you guys are having a good one, I’m currently sitting here syncing my iPod Touch 32GB for the first time. I’ve also managed to make myself a strong snowball – more advocaat than Lemonade, it was an accident. :\ Not really up for spirits at this time in the morning.
I’m off to my Nan’s at 1:30 for Christmas dinner, w00t!
