feel like a whinge lol,

first off pc went pop during the week, so i rigged up an old laptop i fixed a while ago to keep me online. So today, against my natural disliking, i went round the normal mundane pc outlets to buy a run of the mill machine for circa 5/600 notes. Nothing really jumped out and shouted "buy me" and the missus was getting bored/embarrased of me telling the brave sales pigs (ratio 15 per customer) to sod off until i find something i might want, so thought sod it laptop will do for now as i dont do anything major on the pc anymore.

Then i thought while i had gone against this dislike of mine i would look to get some tops for work, vests, tshirts or whatever. again didnt find anything any good as such, sizes vary soooooo much that i had to try some crap on. Large in some shops was 'ok' as was extra large in others, why the feck dont they just make standard sizes, and why the feck when i find a top that fits nice in general does it come with a midrift big enough to smuggle a small adult into the events this year, we must be buying the left over stocks from the yanks.

now i have just had a rare pig out on a some food, not as much as i used to but enough to get the full marker pinging away. Now i have belly ache to top off my crappy day, which has been accompanied by the fact my missus has just reminded me that i am due a quarterly check up with the personal trainer blokey the boss has lined up in just over a weeks times and i had totally forgotten about. That should go ok as i have kept up my routine this time and made good progress but it still puts that doubt in your head.

just thought i would share that as i sit here with a rare whinge head on lol lol

i've not exactly got a large neck, and i struggle to get tops to fit.

3.5ish dependant on system hardware and memory allocations for it, you never get 4Gb to play.

Good. You wouldn't believe the amount of people running zillions of Gigs of RAM on a 32 bit OS lol

Vista Support DX11 btw, but 10 on XP (MS are slowly trying to kill it but it won't die)
