Today's number - 3

Well they say that 3 is the magic number. And in the spirit of a diary of bean counting, time to refer to some numbers. So 3 is the number of laptops i have had since Thursday - one upgraded, new one subsequently broken in an 'incident', and the 3rd is this one.. The number could be replaced with 5, which is the number i've had in the last 12 months, but 3 in a week is so much more spectacular. Even when only talking about laptops! And yes, Brian, that is a lap top computer.

Also, in the spirit of free press, a correction. I apologise and stand corrected that Blackpool is not in the North Sea. I gave up Geography when i was 14, and when i was 12, tried to draw a map of the British Isles using the popular (in my school at the time...) method of triangle (Ireland) and rectangle (GB). My teacher marked it in 2 comments. Shit. 0.

I never recovered, and just last week asked colleagues here whether Halifax was 'local' for a training event. Sadly, Halifax is in Nova Scotia. Thats further away than the distance from London to Glasgow, and then some. Oh well....
