For some, yes. For others, unfortunately not.
The latest edition of Top Gear magazine popped through the letter box this afternoon (it's a very rare day that our post makes it in the morning), and I was getting all excited about reading the feature on the upcoming Aston Martin Rapide - a four-door DB9 - when I read Jeremy Hart's coloumn. The first proper tribute to Richard Burns that I have seen. It scared me mid-2005, when I suddenly realised that Richard Burns hadn't returned to the WRC in 2005 like I had expected and thought I wonder how he's doing? So I spent half a day trying to find something out, all I did find was a piece on his appearance at Castle Combe in August. A couple of months later, I read on BBC's Final Score that he'd passed on. He could, and should, have had many more years in Rallying, Ok the Peugoet years didn't work out for him, but he was headed back to Subaru when he became ill. My thoughts are still with his family and friends.
On a lighter, and slightly more selfish note, why is there a shortage of Xbox360 consoles?! I actually saw one on eBay on the launch date sell for £1200 - makes me wish I hadn't cancelled my preorder! One wonders how Microsoft can justify installing 1000 'Play Pods' in gaming stores across the UK, aswell as supplying them to the companies that are offering them as prizes, when they can't supply enough to meet demand?! Surely the paying customer should have priority? But then seeing as they apparently make a loss on each console, maybe they don't care that much.
SKYdigital = shit.
Why does the BBC bother with Top Gear? I think that the series that has just finished lasted for all of 7 episodes, one episode being pushed back a week cos of Snooker, and the final episode being pushed back cos of Xmas! The amount of money it must cost the BBC to make this excellent programme cannot surely mean that it's cost-effective?! But of course, the amount of money it must cost the BBC to make this excellent programme means that the series cannot last for more than about 7 weeks!
Bloody hell, I feel a bit better now!
Oh, and I spent all day yesterday, gutting my bedroom, throwing loads of stuff out, cleaning underneath my bed (even behind the chest of drawers) and yet I've still got too much shit! As soon as the Job Centre get off their arses and give me my money (they were supposed to phone me this morning, but haven't) I'll be putting lots more CD's on eBay - I want to get rid of about 200!

Why is Sky digital shit? I'm going to get myself a sky box off ebay soon as I can't cope with 4 channels (that's right, 4 channels!) anymore! We've got a dish and cabling but no box so all I need is the box to watch all the unencrypted channels. Is it that bad?
We have two boxes coming off of our Dish, and sometimes if you watch one of a few channels on one box, half the channels disappear from the other box. The other night, Nicola and I sat down to watch The Passion Of The Christ on Sky Movies 1, but as Mum was watching FX in the front room, we couldn't get the first six Movie channels! Also when we only had one box, the picture would freeze and generally fuck up.
