Georgina saw an advert in the local paper for a second hand “Little Tikes” Car. So last night I went to Driotwich and got it for Jon :)

Unfortunately, it’s raining today, so he can’t play with it as it’s a garden toy.

Jon locked us out of his room this morning by opening a drawer in his bed that prevented the door to his room opening. Most distressing for us as we had to get him to close the drawer when all he wanted to do was get out to us and have a cuddle.

We’ve now moved the bed…

I currently use Mozilla Firebird as my main browser. It’s very fast and works well. However, I’ve just discovered that Mozilla 1.4 (and higher) have a “Go To Line” option in the View Source window…

Update

Whilst looking for related bugs about using an external editor with Mozilla/Firebird, I discovered Mozex which does 90% of what I want – just no keyboard shortcut…

Update 2

Woohoo! I’ve successfully modified Mozex so that I can just press F9 to bring up the source code to the current page in my editor :)

Went out for a drink with Tim last night and discovered that there’s a Pub quiz on Tuesdays. We were particularly poor and came last but one!

Georgina’s been watching Shackleton over the last couple of evenings. (Lack of computers is killing us!) I’ve not been that interested as whilst I know the story of Shackleton’s attempted crossing of the Antartic, I’m not a fan. However, I’ve been quite suprised at how good the film is; It’s very watchable.

I have just ordered new computers from Mesh Computers. Their online ordering system doesn’t give you much feedback and says to expect the order confirmation by post which is a bit odd. Also, the anticipated delivery date will be on the order confirmation, so I don’t even know when they will arrive!

It’ll be nice to be using computers that were built in this century :)

Didn’t blog yesterday as was too busy. I finished putting up shelves around 10:45 pm last night and with our current setup, the whole idea of getting out the laptop and plugging it in just didn’t appeal…

On the plus side, we’ve got all the bathrooms finished and have nearly completed our bedroom! Just have to get some glue, a fan and a full length mirror to complete the upstairs :)

Frustrating day today. We tried to sort out the bathroom accessories for our en-suite and the downstairs cloakroom. Not too difficult a job – just go to Homebase and buy some towel rails, glass shelves, etc. So we get up a little later than planned (there’s something about Saturday’s that make early starts really hard!) and head to Homebase.

First problem, Georgina would prefer brushed chome rather than shiny chrome. We don’t see any, so decide to head over to the other side of town where I’m sure I’ve seen a B&Q. No such luck, it’s another Homebase! We have a look anyway – no luck, so go home empty handed for Jon’s nap.

Whilst Jon is asleep, we discover that there isn’t a B&Q in Worcester (but there are 3 Homebases!) so we decide to go with Shiny chrome. Go to Homebase in afternoon and pick up some bits, but other bits aren’t in stock. So we end up going all the way over to the other side of town again to the other Homebase to pick up rest of bits.

So all in all, we visited Homebase four times today!

From Mitchell’s Journal:

“Went to play Go last night in St Albans, played against a 6 kyu, I had a 9 stone advantage … and I WON! WOOHOO!!!”

Mitchell has turned off comments on his blog, so just wanted to say “Well done”!

I thought that I would get back up on my personal soap box and have another look at the reasons why we went to war.

Tony Blair again managed to show the complete disregard he has for the House of Commons and the British people by last night shifting his position even futher away from the original reasons for the war in Iraq. In case people are forgetting, He told the House of Commons and us that Saddam Hussain’s Iraq was an immediate threat to us with weapons that could be deployed against us within 45 minutes of the order being given.

There was an interesting piece on the Today programme today with a couple of Labour MPs talking about Tony Blair’s speech. One of them was saying that in his speech Last night, Tony Blair was saying that the removal of the dictator was the right thing to do regardless of any terrorist or weapons of mass destruction threat. This MP also said that because the way the UN worked, the justification for war had to be related to weapons of mass destruction.

I don’t know about you, but I would have prefered my Government to have been honest with me before the war. More importantly, it was pretty clear before the war that regime change on it’s own was illegal under international law. Now apparently it’s ok? Hmm… You have to wonder if the House of Commons would have backed a war to just remove the government of Iraq if the MPs had known that there was no weapons that could be used against us.

It think that Mr Blair is continuing his campaign to soften us up as the chances of finding any chemical, nuclear or biological weapons in Iraq grows less and less likely. He is hoping that we will forget what he said before and will believe what he says now.

Not all of us are as gullible as you believe, Mr Blair.

I bet Mr Blair is desperately hoping that peace, democracy and a better standard of living for the people of Iraq comes soon. If only for the sake of his premiership.
