Yes that always amuses me. It wants it to say "Firebox" instead. Choo Choo.

XBox Live Daily Challenges was not working over the weekend(at least not in Germany), the Microsoft forums has a 3 page thread now. The service stopped working on Saturday afternoon, by he look of it. Users get an error code 002408. It seems to be a COM problem, although nobody from Microsoft has commented on it yet.

It seems to be working again this morning.

Amazon's trade in £10 of games and get an extra fiver offer - I know what way the market is, but it rarely gets above £3 for a game more than three months old! And that depends on how popular it was. Just about anywhere will give you a better deal than that ffs.

Are these bought offshore by their headquarters in tax haven Luxembourg?

Bought some fudge during my weekend in Bath and left it on the train in Paddington.
Went back for it immediately but the cleaning had been done and the guy had not seen it :S

Lidl had an English week last week, missed it. Got in just as they were switching to "Grill" week. Managed to snaffle 2 packets of fudge and some thick cut orange marmalade.

I try and get my Christmas Stollen from Lidl. Though as I am getting more adventurous I might try making some this year. Just need to work out how I will cook it.

That's the only type of Stollen there is

Well Christmas cake outside Christmas is just rich fruit cake with icing any other time of year. I only called it Christmas Stollen because they start selling it in October alongside everything else Christmas.

Justin Beiber. Need I say more?

So I'm trying to order some RAM for my Mac from Crucial. Except I've moved house since I last ordered so now I need to phone them up to change my billing address
Now, I appreciate that this is probably a security measure but plenty of other online stores seem to manage changes to billing information online without much difficulty.

Oh yeah, their password change system is also a bit rubbish. It's been several years and I could actually remember if I had an account so I started to set up a new one only to be told an account with my e-mail address already existed. Fair enough, reset password and bingo - or so I thought. On the first pass I get bumped to the US crucial site which has no record of my account. On the second go I get sent an e-mail to reset my password. Follow the link, reset the password only to be told there is a problem. Except there actually wasn't and the new password works fine.

Bah!

That is when password managers come in handy for accounts that you do not use every day. It still is a fail for directing you to another site.

Or a photoshop

Heh. Yeah, that's true. In this case, though, you can find other images of it from various angles, so it's a real object.

Here's a web page about the artist who created it.

Is that a target on his forehead?

He really does come across as an arrogant prick.
