Bought a Nikon D40. Still getting a feel for it, but here is the first of what will surely be many photos of Finley.

WTF? I suspect he got a ban for this.

Pizza Hut, originally uploaded by Alshie.

Seriously wtf? Are they selling pizza or music. And let’s not get started on Pasta Hut and the “Now serving pasta” tagline, they’ve sold pasta for years.

Bank of Scotland are a bunch of useless twats. A pox upon them, I’m moving all my accounts elsewhere and I hope they collapse.

In other news: my Playstation 3 came back from the Sony repair shop. It developed a disc read error immediately after the last system update (hmmm). Annoyingly this was the very day I had purchased the one good exclusive of the festive period, Little Big Planet, so I was quite displeased. I’m more displeased to discover that a day’s leave from work, a ten day wait and an epic journey to collect has resulted in a repaired console that won’t even boot. It is more broken than it was when it left. Apparently they don’t check the repairs.

They dropped the ball with a sub-par console, and the support is shit. A pox upon them also.

CIMG2155, originally uploaded by Alshie.

So we got a kitten/cat. He’s actually about 6 months old but he’s totally gorgeous, much nicer than that scabby moggy down below.

His name is Finley (spelt Finley, not Findlay). Here is a photo.

Currently still kittenless.

Abnormally excited today at the prospect of an addition to the family. We are getting a kitten.

A wee ginger kitten, probably called Fred, George, Bert or Scrumpy.
