The chimes at midnight, they're blurred in the wine

Today, I took my car to the garage for a service. The nice people let me have a shiny Corsa to drive around while Blue Johnson was looked at and seen to. A brand spanking new one, with only 1800 miles on the clock.

It had that scary new-car feel, where everything seems very stiff and uncomfortable. It hadn't been worn in yet, and you could feel the corners on the gearbox. The brakes were very sharp and the clicks on the twisty heat control very loud. I also discovered - once on the road - that it had ( Scary Vauxhall Indicators )

Other than that, the little gold Corsa and I made our way to work quite happily. Except for the bonging. ( The terrible, terrible bonging )

Dear The GIMP,

I don't care if you've found files that you think conflict with files you want to install. I know what those files are, I put them there and I need them. No, I don't want you to rename them. If it's a problem, then rename your own damn .dlls. And what exactly are you doing nosing around in that directory anyway ?

Cheers,
Venta
