Lanark has agreed with me for a second time!!! Evidently the Apocalypse is near, so I'm heading for the hills. I'm sure that there is something in Revelation to back up my theory that this is a sign of the end of times. It's not that we don't get on. It's not that I don't respect (some of) his views. It's just that we are polar opposites.

Have you heard of people that you can love to hate? Well, I don't hate Lanark or despise him but we have a very "odd" relationship. Neither is it mutual loathing, well on my side any way :-) It is just that we like to wind each other up - frequently. We can't be in the same room without the barbs flying. I must say that conversations with Lanark are never dull...

Look forward to seeing you soon mate.

Last night I arrived home to find that our new Toshiba had arrived from AOL and very good it is too. I liken the keyboard to a child's one as the keys are much bigger than I'm used too and the layout is different as well. I tried to set up our broadband connection last night but had to give up. These things never seem to go as easily as they should. I always seem to need to ring some useless twonk on a help desk, only to find that it is something petty that is wrong. After running up the helpline bill of course.

History Today:

1305 : Mel Gibson is captured by the English and taken to London for execution. The place he was killed became known as Scotland Yard - later home to the Metropolitan Police. They moved later to the new building.

1583: The English set up their first colony, by Humphrey Gilbert, in North America at St John's Bay in Newfoundland. And thus the rot set in.

1925: Plaid Cymru is formed to disseminate knowledge of the Welsh language, which is in danger of dying out. It was also an attempt to find someone else for Backburner to talk too.
