You'll be moving soon... a clean break will be good for you (away from the fluconazoles too!)

Chin up, lass

I want to go back to school

It's so boring at home. My parents keep fighting because we're decorating and they don't agree with each other about furniture and paint colour. Then they both try to b-i-t-c-h about each other behind their backs to me.

I went to drama club last night, practically everyone else is brimming with happiness, just come back from Spain or other places, very very tanned. Most of my friends are on holiday, so I'm stuck at home.

*gives Miss Ross a hug*

Not long now until you're down this way. We'll all be nice to you.

I feel like I'm drowning in paper.

I wish my internet would work properly.......GRR.

It seems to be working okay? I've got you on MSN still...

It has issues playing things.

I'm having one of those days where everything should be simple, but invariably isn't... everything I try to do results in the discovery of various hoops and hurdles

Hope things sort themselves out again.

I'm normally a really calm person but just feel so flustered... oh well, only today to get through then I have a week off!

Had a pint in the sunshine at lunchtime, I feel a bit calmer now

I've never seen a post that's made me have to scroll sideways on the page. Something must definitely be afoot...

Laura, you broke the forums!

Hope the argh isn't so bad...

The Jubilee Line upgrade was due to be complete at the end of 2009.

Now, it won't be...

I'm actually on the verge of tears

:hugs: what's up?

I thought I was getting better - but now I can't even walk up the stairs without feeling really short of breath/wheezy etc

poor FluteDiva...

Sorry to be pessimistic But it's just so frustrating I was feeling loads better when I came out of hospital, but now I'm feeling really exhausted. I'm seeing my consultant tomorrow though so hopefully he'll have some ideas for getting it under control again! (I was also probably trying to do too much too soon)

Aaaaaagh!!!! bad day. Received a text this morning which has really upset me. I got it in error as one of my "friends" sent it to another "friend"!!!!

Found it hard to concentrate on much else today...

Fingers crossed for tomorrow and I do hope you feel better.



That's horrid, and it gives you such a sick feeling when something like that happens.

Thanks Crotchetymum I'm feeling lots better than when I was in hospital, so at least that's something, but I'm still not right and that's the frustrating part! If my asthma was properly controlled, I wouldn't be wheezing as much (it's really audible) and feeling so short of breath, so I'm hoping that it's not a case of "just wait and see what happens" when I see the doctor tomorrow!

Yes that's exactly how I felt! I was physically shaking it was such a shock. Trying to sort it out with said "friend" she's apologised for upsetting me but not adequately explained it yet. just invited her to give me a call or pop round to talk it out but she's not responded to that yet. It's easy to say sorry but not so easy to explain or take the hurt away. I feel like crying would make me feel better but a bit too numb to.

Why does having one practice session much later than another mean spending loads of time sorting things out that didn't seem like a problem before? I should do my practice in one go and not go near the oboe until the next day

AAARGH! I'm going to a party on Friday, which has the theme "around the world in 80 days". I have my costume all sorted, I'm going as France... I don't know anything about wine, so when I went to buy some, I just went to the "France" section in the supermarket, and picked one that was quite expensive, as I assumed it'd be a good indicator of quality...

Got home, and the name is quite clearly Spanish! I'd bought Belgian chocolates thinking the wine would be French enough for the theme! I don't have an "EU" costume!

AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Stupid stupid stupid horrible useless VISTA.


My old laptop ran on XP. Painfully slowly, and grinding to a halt but it did run.

In particular, it ran a MIDI output which went into my clavinova and played it. All I had to do was go into the control panel and tell the machine that MIDI should go through the external device when it's plugged in and all was well.

So I have this new computer, which runs VISTA. The tab in the control panel to tell it to use the external MIDI device isn't there.

I can't find anything that chooses which MIDI device it should use, so the computer won't use my external one.

I can't find anything helpful on the Microsoft "help" website to show me where to find the way to use an external MIDI device.

And I am running out of patience with the whole stupid thing.

I have sent an e-mail to Microsoft to complain. I'm not holding my breath that they'll bother replying...

Could that be what you're after?

As for Argh... I'm really not enjoying trying to get these last few scales to sink in (Bm and Cm) - all the others are OK.

Sol, you're a hero. I think (but won't be 100% sure til I've tried it) that this is just the thing.

Thanks everso

This is assuming that your Clav is detected as MIDI device in the first place (or that you're using a detected output from say a MidiSport or your soundcard), but good luck anyway!

If you don't have .NET framework installed (ie: that tool won't work), get it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

Well, it downloaded, unzipped and ran ok. And failed to detect the clav


EDIT: And after swearing at it, uninstalling and reinstalling it....success.

Sol, I owe you a beer.

Hurrah! Glad to be of service

Talking of beer, I'm a bit bored/fed up so I'm going to pop out for a couple (not too many, I have to drive in the morning!)

Reading this made me want to tak a magners out of the fridge and drink it. Maybe I will do that, I have not had any alcohol in 3 weeks!

Alcohol - it was good enough for the Romans and Ancient Egyptians, it's good enough for me!

Aaaaaaggghhhh - I can't stop singing Shaddup You Face, I had it on the brain all day yesterday and I've woken up singing it this morning


I blame Solari, it's all his fault for mentioning it in the first place

All together now....

Whats a matta you... HEY!

That video is great!

Why do some people get so much pleasure out of making other people's lives utterly miserable? It's really hard to watch someone going through this not be able to do anything to help or to change things. I can be a listening ear, but there's absolutely nothing I can do to make the person feel any better (she's too upset for anything I say to help, and I entirely understand why) or stop the other people acting like 2 year olds.

That's just rotten

I feel so incredibly utterly useless. Why can't I sing??!?


**hugs** to Flossie.

^ This is the same person who nailed Bring Him Home (from Les Miserables) with mwl1 yesterday. You didn't see me wiping a tear off my cheek, did you Floss...

Just finished the cricket season without a single victory at all, not even in the matches I didn't play.

There is always next season with a new team.

Aaarrrggghhh!

Not that I've had a bad week; in fact, it's been quite delightful, especially the last few days on holiday in Cornwall.

However, I went to use my car this afternoon only to find the battery flat. Bother, thought I (or words to that effect...). Nothing daunted, I decided to dig out my battery charger. However, could I find my battery charger anywhere? I hunted high and low and couldn't. I subsequently had a vague memory drift into mind that it died a few years ago and that I disposed of it. So, after a journey on foot into town, I returned home with a brand new battery charger courtesy of Argos. No problem now, thought I!

Unfortunately that was not to be the case. My battery is in the boot of my car. Whilst, with the battery flat, the central locking won't work, I'm able to open the driver's door with a key. I can also unlock any of the other doors from the inside. But which door do you think refuses to unlock with the central locking on, and which door I can't get at from the inside?

Yup - you've probably guessed it. The flat battery's in the boot, and I can't unlock the boot to charge the battery without unlocking the central locking. And I can't unlock the central locking without charging the battery....

Grrrrr! Did the people who designed the car not consider what the owner would do in the event of a flat battery?!

I've now got a Heath Robinson arrangement with wires leading from the battery charger into the cigarette lighter attachment, but it doesn't seem to be working. I guess it might just be time to admit defeat and call out the RAC....

EDIT: Some two hours later, I've now found out that it is possible to unlock and open the boot manually.

However, the new battery charger which was reading that the battery was fully charged when I had it wired up a la Heath Robinson (and which made me think I was doing something stupid! ) now says the same when connected directly to the battery, and refuses to charge it further. However, a check with a multi-metre shows that the battery is quite flat. I guess that the new charger is dud.

Aaarrrggghhh indeed!

In a fit of nostalgia I bought a Best of Blondie CD - great Now a furniture store has decided to use Picture This with its latest ad and it seems to be on the whole time. Every time I listen to this track I'm going to think sofas. Aaaargh

Sofa so good!


Not so good...

One of my bulbs in the car has blown, and it wasn't a cheap one either... looks like the mechanic that put it in must have got his fingers on the bulb as it's quite new

Can't change it myself as I don't have the hands of a 3 year old, and the battery is in the way on that side (typical..)

You have wired up the charger the right way round, haven't you? Red to red and black to black. (I expect you have, but just thought I'd ask!)

Glad you had a pleasant break in Cornwall - I have some miserable memories of last summer (when it was cold, rainy and very misty), but very happy ones of earlier holidays. It's a beautiful county when the sun shines.

Well this isn't really an 'aaaaaagggghhh' just more of a

I have to go to a funeral today. It's not somebody I knew, just an elderly neighbour who used to say hello when he walked past the house. He was born and brought up in the house he still lived in until he died and here, in this hamlet in the middle of nowhere, he didn't drive but walked everywhere. He died peacefully in his sleep.

Anyway, I didn't know him but funerals always make me terribly emotional about the people close to me that I have lost and I struggle dreadfully not to cry bucketloads. I can't be seen to do that today so my only alternative is to take a sedative to get through the day. The whole dressed-in-black thing and dirgey Scottish death-hymns are really more than I can bear.

I'm really being selfish not wanting to go, I know, but I have to go to represent my 'family' from the hamlet.

Best of luck, lottie...

My email keeps not working! And why, when I finally get my complaint sent to O2, do they advise me to look in their help pages, as if I wouldn't have already done that? I can't bear to see "mailbox blocked by other server" one more time - what other server? Where is it and why is it doing it? I have just moved to O2 for the promised greater speed etc etc and I hate them already.

My chest is rattling Oh dear....
