A thing I like to do when parking the car on the street is park towards one end or the other of the gap. It seems it is now fashionable to park in the middle of a large space, or what would be seen as a 2 car gap.
Is it a selfishness thing ? I want that whole space for my 1983 Toyota Surf so why the hell shouldn't I take it. Maybe so someone else can bloody park in the 15m gap !!!
grrrr.

My Gym is for Fat People !
So for the good of my health (and so I could fit into an expensive suit for a upcoming wedding) I joined a gym late last year.
The thing I like about it is that it is filled with fat people sweating. I don't understand why people would want to go to a gym filled with people in make up and precision cut lycra.
Sometimes there is nothing like the sight of a fat person on a rowing machine to motivate you just that bit harder...

Passwords...
So I was talking to a chum on the phone today about a tech support issue when he mentioned how he liked the blog, but I never posted anymore.
That got me thinking about how I used to keep a list of things to post and was diligent in doing it. Bolstered by his kind words I looked through the past and remembered all the happy modern life whinging I used to do.
I though I would add to the post count but then came across an issue - I couldn't remember the password....
Maybe I am getting old, but I find it really hard to remember a lot of things like password when you are forced to vary them to suit some security model. Must have a number, must have a non numeric character...
I used to use the same password everywhere and this worked well as I could remember it, but now our work systems auto expire the password every month and you need to choose a new password. But it can't be anything you have used before. Or the previous 5 passwords. So you end up making up something that you then have to write on a post-it and stick to the wall so you don't forget it !
Is that really making our life more secure ??
