Just had another muppet moment at work ... putting a call through, and Jo at the other end says "Thanks Simon". I thought "how does she know it's me?" for a second (she only works shifts as she is one of the volunteer co-ordinators on the helpline) ... and then realised that:
1. There are only two men in my office. The other one never answers any phone.
2. (The clincher) My name comes up on the phone when I call through.

Earlier today I was asked to replace a "stiff" keyboard. The only thing wrong with it is that the springs are still new, and it hasn't been sufficiently hammered yet ...

EDIT: I've just topped all of that by trying to use the wheel on my mouse to scroll a document. A paper document that just happens to be resting on my keyboard against my monitor in lieu of a document stand.

Just a quick one for the York rock scene, but did anyone else see on the METRO letters page today a letter from a Mr Lyall George, of York? There can't be two of him, so I suspect that it may be one and the same bouncing lunatic, last glimpsed at Download. Anyone know what he's been up to, apart from growing novelty facial hair?
