What are you doing right now?

EA really have got some cheek!

GIMP is good especially for resizing pictures, far better than commercial software. But it does take some getting used to.

I've been playing some Skyrim again on a whim (I've a load of Mayhem Hall updates to post up as well with everyone having taken their first exams as well - shame on me!) & amazed there's still parts I'd never touched before. Completely cleared out Labyrinthian (all three sections of the abandoned city), which was good fun. I'm blaming this phase on watching all those Game Of Thrones of late!

In Scotland, the big news is that a pyramid system in football has finally been agreed upon, with a new Lowland League starting in only a couple of weeks! Come the summer of 2015, the winners of the long running Highland League and Lowland League will play off for the right to play whoever finished bottom of the Scottish League in a one off match, with a place in the national league at stake. I'm hoping Gretna can get back in this way - I always felt sorry for what happened to them.

I came close to putting my fist through the monitor at the following on the BBC website tonight -

In 2009, the average public-sector worker earned about £16.60 per hour, which dropped to about £15.80 in 2011, the IFS said. Meanwhile, hourly pay for private-sector workers in 2009 was just over £15.10 and dropped to about £13.60 in 2011.

Where do they know in the country that was paying out averages of £13.60 an hour, never mind the £16.60! I don't even think Buckinghamshire manages that!

They've also said they expect a third of the British harvest to fail due to the weather, so more price rises. Network Rail have also said they're looking to cut costs, but raise fares.

If they want Tottenham Part 2, they're going the right way about it!
