RIP Sir Bobby Robson

What a loss. One of the game's true gentleman, he's going to be deeply missed.

*sniffles*

I'm following the cricket via BBC's online Live Text Commentary and it's all been happening this morning, with England taking wicket after wicket. I squeaked a bit too loudly just now, and attracted FogHorn's attention. She came to see what I was looking at and said "We need to hold a meeting....in a pub with a TV!"

:D

The compy's arrived! It's infested with Vista but the cure for that will hopefully be delivered tomorrow in the form of XP installtion software :D I've got the basics but I'm not troubling to install Trillian or my email program, on the grounds that everything's getting bahleeted tomorrow when I do the new install. So I shall be least seen girly tonight but tomorrow I shall be back with a vengeance!!

And now to slap this compy about a bit and watch Leverage and Burn Notice! Squee!


PS: Having the dickens of a job getting Thess's compy networked to mine. Worked beautifully under XP, Vista keeps being a bitch. We connect the two compys by use of a cable. However, Vista seems to think that Thess's compy is the primary connection to the internet and not mine. So it won't let me connect to the internet because Thess's compy isn't! Any ideas how to convince it of the error of its ways? If not, poor Thess will have to cope with being internetless tonight until the XP install is done.
