I'm sure I already signed up at MySpace ... oh wait, I did ... That's why I was surprised to see that I'd apparently registered again yesterday... Hi ace man -- Thanks for joining MySpace! Here's your account info for logging in: E-mail: ********** @hotmail.co.uk Password: ****** Keep it secret. Keep it safe. Please confirm your MySpace account by clicking here: http://collect.myspace.com/reloc.cfm?c=3&code=RaNdOm-NuMbErS_&_LeTtErS Hmm, really, now why would I; Register using my Hotmail address when I have a special GMail address for just such occassions? Use such a small password of only 6 digits, when the majority of my passwords are at least 10 characters long?! Wear a hoodie in a kitchen showing off the bumfluff on my top lip and take a photo to put on my MySpace page? I've said it before and I'll say it once again, if you're going to register for something that needs you to have access to the email account you register with, so that you can open...

Yet another British TV legend has passed on to pastures new. Jeremy Beadle has died of pneumonia after going into hospital last week when diagnosed with it. He'd also been diagnosed with a mild form of leukaemia in 2005 of which he didn't really seem to suffer with, but now at the age of 59, he's lost the battle against something that takes many lives per year. People had a kind of love/hate attitude with him, his main thing was playing pranks on people which is why so many didn't like him, I don't see how he was irritating since many of his stunts didn't particularly involve him until the end where he would turn up in disguise and then reveal himself to the unsuspecting victim. Anyway, regardless of what other idiots think, I always thought he was a nice and decent bloke who just liked a good laugh and it's a pity that he died so young, pneumonia is harsh, but 59 isn't that old. R.I.P. Sir Prankster.

Now, I don't mind if people want to share the R4/M3 skins that I've created, but please do the considerate thing and credit the person that created them. It seems KoenT either doesn't know or doesn't care who created them and so, gives himself the credit. As I said in the Katie Melua skin comments of his NDSThemes page, if you don't know who created the skin, look in the theme.ini file (it can easily be opened with Notepad) and you will see not only the name of the creator, but the date the skin was created. Thanks to Anonymous for the heads up, but remember folks, if you're going to try and steal something from someone to claim as your own, at least make some changes, even if it's just the colour of the text/scrollbar. And to think I was going to make some new skins soon ... *makes mental note to watermark images too*... ;)

The missus went out earlier to ASDA with our neighbour as they usually do a couple of times a week to get a few things, only this time, she brought back what must be the most expensive cakes ASDA sell. As the sticker says, "WHOOPS!". Whoops indeed when, instead of being reduced from £1.54 to £1.00, something went wrong and she was charged over £800 for them instead. It was obviously a mistake and the charge was voided, but wow, they would have to be from a really extra special range to cost that much! :o
