To Do List
MRCS / BSS applications - this weekend

Read Discworld novel - this weekend
Read ATLS manual - this weekend
? Repair computer - only if under £30 for XP2000+ processor
okay. do-able.
It snowed this morning. More importantly, it fulfilled the BBCs weather predictions of "snow this weekend"
The world must be ending.
Well, to be fair it only snowed for about 1 minute. So I guess that's all right then.
Typically the tonnes of salt spread everywhere appear to be going to waste in the absence of any real snow / frost.
Air temperature is low. Fingers hurt. Must buy gloves.
Am having second thoughts about buying a processor for my PC. it could have been so simple. Buy an XP2000 processor at £30. Or so the useless computer repairman at the shop said, who didn't actually repair my comp but just charged me £40 to make his diagnosis of processor burnt out (duh I knew that before I brought it to him, the wanker)
Except that nobody sells 2000+ s anymore. And they'll probably cost 49 quid if they do.
And I can get them back home for £30... sigh. And to complicate matters, now I Know. That my comp is old, slow and geriatric. That AMD 64 Mobos exist out there that operate at a FSB twice of mine. That for £200 quid I could build another state of the art, ultra-fast system...
My Y chromosome is calling out to me dammit.
I think I'll postpone till I go back home. Still, a quid for a computer fair is fair enough, no? :)
