Now you know I don’t like to moan but even the iPod touch seems to have Microsoft like inconsistencies. I’ve told you the story of how I can’t download some software because I am away from home.
Well, today I downloaded a podcast from the good old BBC of the Chelsea v Sunderland goals. I clicked on play and the posh chappie from the BBC pronounced that for copyright reasons I wasn’t allowed to see the goals.
SO WHY DID YOU LET ME DOWNLOAD THE FRICKING THING THEN?
Who are these wasters?

I can’t half pick ‘em.
You know I just bought an iPod touch. I have transferred loads of music and photos etc onto it. It’s a good thing.
It tells me to update the software so I try. It tells me it cannot reach the server. Over and over again.
I write to Apple for help. They reply, I do what they say and it doesn’t work. I write back and they ignore me. I write again and TWO people reply: different solutions.
New solution one also fails.
Solution two tells me not to bother trying to update anything because the system knows that I am travelling away from home. It doesn’t like me travelling away from home. It throws a hissy fit and stops my downloads.
I write and thank them both: properly, of course, as they are only doing their jobs.
I add, though,that iPods are built to allow us to enjoy music and films etc on the move so they shouldn’t be surprised when we move around with our iPods and stuff!
In 12 day’s time I will get back home and see what might happen then!

This is all I will say about the US Presidential election result.
Give me
and I will become President of the USA.
You have to be desperate and excessively wasteful to spend that amount of money just to pass a job interview.
Don’t forget, also, that McCain only spent $924,000,000 on himself.

How about this? I have just been told that there is a sign at the top of the Jumeirah Sheikher water slide at Wild Wadi in Dubai that says this:
"Keep legs crossed to prevent gusset trauma."
Doesn't bear thinking about does it?

I have come late to this story I think but I was told this evening that the signs on ALL Manky Uni's toilets were changed to say
Who are these people who wasted this money? Which managers allowed themselves to get involved in such a stupid, peurile discussion?
