Extreme unction


My PC is very, very sick, and will be going into hospital soon. It picked up an ineradicable WinFixer infection 3 months ago, probably one of the kids not using a condom while online, which has serially trashed display settings and now internet access, and disabled my spyware in the process. Nasty little bugger. The fixes advised through PoV were helpful, but not practical for mongs. I'm taking my wee laptop, dodgy as it is, into the nerdy boys at the PC shop later today. It may be gone for some time...

I hope all invertebrate lovers watched 'Life in the Undergrowth' on BBC last night. Magic, and on a par with 'Alien Empire'- another firm favourite. These guys are amongst the most ancient and expert organisms, and see how they network in with their environments. And isn't it amazing how various sex can be- parthenogenic, hermaphroditic, transexual- something most humans wrongly perceive as fixed in their own mammalian pattern.
