    Sky News:

    The taxpayer is now bailing out Lloyds (how many £££billions?). Looks like HSBC is the last to follow suit then! Guess that means I now own a piece of the bank that just CIFAS me... Now that is ironic!!!!! haha!

    Things are ok, just chilling tonight writing a piece of software for my own personal use, what a way to spend a Saturday night - to be honest I really can't be a r s e d with clubbing over Newcastle anymore, can't justify the cost and the scene is just not me, maybe I am becoming an old git, 2 years off 30 it can't be!
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    You're still a pup lol

    I'm too old to go clubbing now - I can't hack the pace! This time last night I was propping the bar up at a nice pool side bar. Had a mother of a hangover when I got on the plane this morning lol. I'm too old for that game!

    Sounds like you're being very sensible tho ;)

    Yea well, sensible maybe, I have several hobbies to keep me busy - and two children plus a demanding girl friend.
