Three.
The plus side is that we now have a very nice and much improved kitchen tap that doesn’t dribble everywhere.
Result!

Die Polizei
Within an hour of me calling the police yesterday, two absolutely fabulous PCs came over to see me at work and took a statement from me. I felt really guilty – I would have gone and see them, but it transpires that homophobic abuse is taken exceptionally seriously (maybe as it should be these days) so they wanted to send people over.
Anywho, it’s now in the hands of a nice sounding DS and some clever people who are now investigating a case of mailicous communication. Quite how far they’ll get I’m not sure – I guess it does sort of depend on whether the ISP is able to furnish login details of the offending IP address.
More next week I expect…
A warm feeling inside
Noooooo! Not that!
No, this is even better – the satisfaction that comes with dealing with bandwidth leechers. These are the people who hotlink images from your site to their pages; mostly those who have avatars on bulletin boards and the like. Now, you can simply deny these people your images, saving you on bandwidth.
Of course, you could substitute the image the person’s posted for something rude – this doesn’t save your bandwidth (much) – but of course, this should be reserved for special people, especially right-wing cuntish kids in the USA who use you as examples of “homos what should be kiled” (sic).
So, two examples for all you apache & mod_rewrite users:
This will simply deny hotlinkers access to your images:
# Logging
RewriteLog /var/log/apache/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 1
# Deny hotlinking
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !www\.yoursite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !google\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !search\?q=cache [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG|bmp|BMP|png|PNG)$ – [F]
Remember to change yoursite to the URL of your own site, and the path to your log if you want to use that.
If you’re desired to change the image to something rude, do this:
# Fuck off little shit
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} myspace\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG|bmp|BMP|png|PNG)$ http://www.mysite.com/cunt.gif [R,L]
Engrish
Yesterday we bought some of these sweets from a Japanese store in Soho. They looked really nice, but taste absolutely awful and they look like little arses. So, all together, not a great purchase, but it’s the wording on the front that redeems them:
Who should I vote for?
Your expected outcome:
Liberal Democrat
Your actual outcome:
 Labour 26 |
|
Conservative -51  |
|
| Liberal Democrat 70 |
|
| UK Independence Party -24 |
|
| Green 29 |
You should vote: Liberal Democrat
The LibDems take a strong stand against tax cuts and a strong one in favour of public services: they would make long-term residential care for the elderly free across the UK, and scrap university tuition fees. They are in favour of a ban on smoking in public places, but would relax laws on cannabis. They propose to change vehicle taxation to be based on usage rather than ownership.

The pope is dead
BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Pope John Paul II dies in Vatican
So, he’s dead at last, and I’m in a bit of a quandry. On the one hand, I’d say that he was pretty much instrumental in the downfall of communism in Poland. His “faith” and that which he imbued in his flock was vital in keeping the Polish national spirit alive during occupation by the Nazis and then by Stalin’s red army and all the oppression that followed in their wake.
On the other hand, his exceptionally conservative beliefs have lead to a pandemic of HIV/AIDS in developing countries (which coincidentally seem to be those that have the highest number of zealous Catholics) which has killed millions. He’s also guilty of antipathy, if not complicity, in the cover up of child abusing priests.
Althogether I find the massive outpouring of grief for him a little distasteful. He was an old and frail man who, to be honest, should have been allowed to die in privacy and dignity rather than being wheeled out to carry out his holy duties. Compare and contrast this to the case of Terri Schiavo.
I can only hope the next one is better, but somehow I doubt it.
Day 2
I think it’s now been about 48 hours since my piercing. The first night was pretty rough – uncomfortable, and especially painful with the sensation of tearing when your morning stiffie occurs.
Yesterday day was also unpleasant, lots of bleeding (well, enough anyway), last night was much better thanks to the letters P and C – paracetamol and codeine. Today is getting better – it certainly still aches, partly that’s the bruising I suppose, but there’s not as much bleeding.
It does look quite nice though ;)
Piercing take 2
So, off I went to Into You and had my cock’s frenulum (or frenum for you American readers) pierced.
It was pretty painful. Apparently I yelled “gaaaaaaaaaah! FUCK!” at the top of my voice – louder than Steve has ever heard me before. A guy waiting upstairs for his piercing apparently heard it as well, and called me a wuss…
Once the piercing itself was over that was pretty much it. Walking has been a bit difficult and it aches a bit but nothing dramatic. I took the bandage off to go for a piss when I got home and there was a bit of blood.
The day after is supposed to be the worst for pain, so I’ll let you know how that goes. Erk.
Berlin
Pictures from our trip to Berlin last week up in my gallery.
A prize to the first person who can tell me what’s wrong with one of the pictures…
Quickie
A quick update to see in March… Back from Berlin and should have a house all sorted! Moving in a week or so, so will post again when we’re in :)
