  1. @bingethinking - to be fair, there weren't many other jobs she could have gone for. If she had, she'd have retired by now. Gawd bless her.
  2. @caalie - Mrs A spotted that. Nice show of austerity for the nation.
  3. @damorrison - you worry too much, they have a whole week to sort that out. Then three matches and off home again.
  4. @bingethinking - only if I can use our old favourite word 'plank'.
  5. @damorrison - when you look at some of the players in the Belgian team you realise they're actually no push-over. Not bad being 1-up.
  6. @damorrison - cool, thanks... subscribed in my Windows Live calendar and now showing up on the Windows 8 calendar (Metro) app.
  7. @tweetroapp on Windows 8 Customer Preview - excellent Twitter app that's set the bar. But looking forward to what @gleekthis will offer.
  8. @gleekthis - assume you're referring to Birdsong? Nice app but during the long wait for updates everyone else got ahead of them.
  9. I got an e-mail from Eric Bana saying "hi". I think it may be spam.
  10. @aden_76 - have you ever encountered someone who says "appreciate you can't read the figures on this slide"? So why include it? Crazy...
  11. @palmlodge - Rowi is not officially a Microsoft application. Of course, there's no other strange names in the world of software.
  12. Tweeting from Rowi (the Metro app) on Windows 8.
  13. @rshoults - we'll be getting a rise in fuel tax soon, so it'll only get worse here (groan). I think I'll buy a horse.
  14. @rshoults - if you're looking for sympathy over fuel prices, forget it. I think we're up to the equivalent of about $7 a gallon here :o(
  15. Installing Windows 8 Release Preview on the Acer tablet.
  16. @robster_007 - here's a mention to test your live tile, and don't complain.
  17. @juniorggc - congratulations, I'll give you a shout next time I'm in town.
  18. If there was a drought in Edinburgh I'd venture to say that situation has now ended.
  19. Back in the land of my ancestors and celebrating with a tin of Irn Bru. I'll pass on the haggis though.
  20. Mrs A said "have a safe flight". The problem with travelling by airplane is that the safety aspect isn't really something I can control.
