…but, the new BBC weather symbols, maps and displays.. crap! Where is the Atlantic synoptic chart? How the hell can you tell what’s going on? Bring back the old magnetic clouds!

Roundup
Very very busy and also likely to be away from my PC for much of this week, so expect quiet.
The plant fair at Pashley was very successful – thanks to everyone who turned up. I got slightly sunburnt, which considering that the original forecast was for rain was quite an achievement. -
Normal
Hels and I have had tests this week. Apparently we are normal. This, evidently, is good news.
Make up your own jokes here. -
Reading at the dining table
I always used to get told off for doing this:
Cats have no manners. -
Port-O-Rotary
A mobile phone packed into an old bakolite rotary dial telephone. Probably wouldn’t fit in your pocket.

Birthday
Thirty four.

PPPoE or PPPoA?
Taking up BT on their broadband upgrade offer? I have, and now surf twice as fast as I did yesterday – if I was nearer to the exchange, I’d be going twice as fast again.
But, if you do, please note that you need to change from PPPoE to PPPoA. If you don’t, you’ll be sitting looking at your PC all day, wondering why you have no broadband connection. Not that I know anyone who did that, of course.
It would have been useful if BT had alerted users to that in advance.
And I have no idea what PPPoE and PPPoA stand for. Or what it means. -
Odd promotion
From Viking Direct – free bathrobe when you buy a carton of envelopes. Huh?
