OK, I'll bite. Had to cull a *lot* of JRPGs and stuff from the pre PC/console 80s.

I have a masters degree in chemical engineering and you know what? We studied some history, because horrific accidents like to repeat themselves and people don't change.
Am I missing something here?
In what universe would an engineering student ever study history?!
Do many history students study engineering?!
I *enjoyed* history at school, and I was *good* at it. But no way would I ever have studied it at university.

Spent this morning doing my quarterly VAT return. *Days* before it's due. Feeling somewhat smug.
Went to file it and HMRC is down all day for planned maintenance.

For a few days the scroll wheel on my trackball has been playing up. 6 T6 Torx screws to get into it. Nothing I had could reach 2 of them so I had to wait for an appropriate tool to turn arrive.
Tonight I got to investigate. Reader, it was full of ginger fur. Scoville has a lot to answer for.

Walking home from the late care visit at my mother's and some asshat in an Audi went past me a some significant speed (in a 30 zone) and about a minute later back the other way even faster.
Turns out that Audi's currently untaxed, so I reported it. That should make their day in a few weeks.
