Malcolm did have a previous name, but he's not Max Headroom. Malcolm is married (I think - or possibly cohabiting) and has children (I'm sure). Max was childfree and beginning a relationship with "the blonde" while writing his blog.

That's my recollection too. Didn't Malcolm come back after a bit and couldn't get into his original username or something like that (don't think he was PPRd). Was he bluey(with some numbers after)? That rings a bell.

More posh alerts in one post than I could muster in my entire lifetime

Worryingly the expression 'posh alert' has found its way into my everyday vocabulary.:o

Our Spanish students would like to come on our holiday (1 week at my parents in Devon) rather than stay at their school and move to a different host family. We like them too but I'm not sure if it is a good idea.

And what would your parents think? I think I'd be in favour of holidaying without them - its character building for them to meet new people!

Not been a good night, after the obligatory tossing and turning to try and get comfortable in this overly-warm weather, I was just drifting off at gone midnight when the alarm company rang. Some fatherless types had broken into work - the sum total of their haul seems to be the petty cash tin with around £250 in a mix of English and Euros, but they have done enough damage getting in and I suspect that they now have a spare set of keys, so we will have to replace them. Had about 2 hours sleep, which is not good for me.

Excitingly I have just realised that not only do I have a base in Stevenage ( I am conscious that being Oop North means I'm letting the side down:p), but I also have a customer in St Albans. I feel that helps balance out my failings.:rotfl:

Sounds like a nightmare Bugslet and the lack of sleep always just makes things feel worse. I hope you are not driving an artic anywhere today.

No, they should go to the other family, to get a different experience, which is what they're students for. And you should have your family holiday without having to concern yourself with the welfare/happiness of others, but thinking only of the happiness of your family members, to the exclusion of all others.

How much income does all the fiddling generate?

£4.50 yesterday in the end. But it's not how much it does, but how much it COULD that drives me. It used to generate £50 once set up and left alone, so I could choose if/when I fiddled. But the game rules changed and I am now trying to play a catch up..... believing I can get things back to how they were, while discovering the new rules of the game and trying to learn new games

It'd be daft for me to have just left the site as it was, abandoned for 2 years, this is just housekeeping/maintenance work really, plus a virtual "new lick of paint" and new content.

Every day I believe "today is the day when I will see a difference, the corner will be turned".

Rarely drive these days and I've only ever driven up to 7.5 anyway - leave the joy of the M25 to my drivers now.

4.50 is more than you have been reporting to us a few weeks ago. Hopefully you are getting back in the groove?

Sorry about that, but until we're allowed to shoot on suspicion and/or hang them by the neck within a week ..... we're stuck with low lifes

Terrible bugslet. What a horrid night. I wasn't too hot, but kiwi is unsettled by the routine change of not being with the girls and just couldn't settle and kept me awake. Poor little critter, I hate this business. He hasn't really got a clue what's going on and misses the others so much
