I'm a little worried about the gear box on the car.
Might be time to start looking for alternatives.
And seeing if I can get some finance sorted to bridge me until the inheritance comes through...

Where's PG when you need him  Also found out my car does some nasty wheelspin in first and I don't appreciate if students are going to approach a Zebra crossing it is in their interest to cross it, not stand at the f*cking edge of the road causing a queue to build up then not cross the damn thing instead choosing to obstruct my view of anyone actually trying to cross it safely as I cannot see them. I don't go knock on their door and just stand at their doorway like a muppet... why do a similar thing in public? Also 7000rpm is enough to make most students jump and move out of the way  _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Just had a guy from a podcast drop me an email about a cool game mini-project he wants some help bringing to life on the pc/360  Looks pretty sweet just from the storyboard he has done to be honest _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

I believe it's an offence to loiter at a pedestrian crossing. Mention it to the authorities. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

There is no point, it's an area of heavy traffic as it is and with over 1000 students using the building, let alone the actual traffic of those using the bridge connecting it I doubt they will pay attention. These are average students I am talking about, judging by the number of times I am hearing the fire alarm go off when I go past the halls they can't make breakfast let alone be trusted to cross the road. On the plus side my new parking permit lets me park pretty much just along the road from the buildings I am in uni at most of the time, nice and safe with one road in/out and footbridges over the motorway on either side so plenty of passers by to see Prof: win, just win! _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Just spoke to car dealer oop north with the car I'm interested in, and he's prepared to go to nearly half price on the motor I'm interested in with a p/x on my Mazda. And the insurance is doable for about what I'm paying now. Epic. Win. Probably.
