I just want to see how good Doom plays on it! Pass the sick bag!
So something like 11 weeks later we’ve finally finished painting the spare room:
All that’s left is the curtains and replace the light fitting and that’s done. I hope that I never have to strip paint from a wall again!

Half of one wall has had all the paint stripped off. This took all Sunday, stripping the rest of the room is going to take ages:-(
In case you’re worried about the experiments going on at the LHC, you can view the webcams here:
1. Weight-lifting commentator: “This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.”
2. Dressage commentator: “This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.”
3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: “I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.”
4. Boxing Analyst: “Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.”
5. Softball announcer: “If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.”
6. Basketball analyst: “He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn’t like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.”
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: “Ah, isn’t that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.”
8. Soccer commentator: “Julian Dicks is everywhere. It’s like they’ve got eleven Dicks on the field.”
9. Tennis commentator: “One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them… Oh my God, what have I just said?
On Sunday my wife and I spent three hours at our allotment planting most of the plants we received from Wiggly Wigglers, my shoulders and legs haven’t ached as much since riding to work several weeks ago. We had already planted about 1/3 of the plot, but the other 2/3 was left to the weeds and clearing this took most of the three hours.
We now have a few rows of cabbage, cauliflower, swede, leeks and probably something else I’ve forgotten. Hopefully these plants will survive the onslaught from the pigeons and slugs. We’ve covered the plants in mesh which should stop the birds and I’ll sprinkle pellets around the plants to take care of the slugs.
Here’s a photo of the new plants, they’re not easy to see between the massacred weeds, but in a few weeks I’ll post another photo and there should be a big difference, if they survive that is!

A German deveper created a unique application to replace this status by charging $999.99 for this app via iTunes. After 8 people bought it, 2 by accident, Apple pulled the app:
