If it’s not obvious, that means I have 123k unread emails and 24k read ones. I archive off read emails older than 60 days, but still, that’s pretty pointless and stupid. It’s time to have a purge […]
Andrew comments regarding Dog-lead goths ‘hounded off bus’:
Now whilst I am not for/against the Goth lifestyle - it’s not something that I’d personally get into. However, just because it’s seen as a bit ’strange’ or ‘weird’ to the majority of us does not mean we should prevent it.

Day 2 of the conjunctivitis saga (Day 1 · Day 3).
