Okay so its not exactly ironic but it does come quite close.

EDIT: Just to keep things straight, I should be moving in on Monday not Friday, but I will still be signing the lease and such on Friday. The work getting carried out is on the heating and shower. The only question mark will be interenet access as I’m wanting cable but I keep forgeting to ask if I would be allowed that, if not I should be able to get ADSL, but at either rate it could mean no net access for a couple of weeks… gulp!

Oh and my laptop is still acting funny, I cleaned it out and the temparture is playing nicer (still 50+, but at least its not 70+) but now its taken to giving me BSOD or black screen randomly… well semi-random, I seem to be either playing WoW or using Photoshop. I may have to try installing an older driver and hoping that fixes it.

Speaking of WoW, there is a 10 day free trial going - LINK
