You know what makes me grumpy? All the Grumpy Old Men who appeared on the BBC TV series were younger than me, that's what makes me grumpy. Mutter, mutter....

CONNECTED AGAIN!

I have to report that, after three months of driving a tractor and trailer along the information super-highway, I have my new broadband connection up and running. Yippee -yayyay! Yoicks! I could kiss someone!

When my new BT home hub arrived last Wednesday, I phoned my IT consultant to suggest that I connect it up myself, using the software CD. He screamed:

"DON'T TOUCH IT, JIM!"

I was somewhat disconcerted by this response. Had he no faith in my technological capabilities? Anyway, he arrived next morning, and did the necessary connection, without recourse to the software, in 10 minutes flat.

I've now bought a genuine Rolex replica watch, something which enlarges my body parts, a BA Hons degree from an American university, some bargain software, and medication from a Canadian pharmacy.

ONLY KIDDING!

I have no need of physical enhancement. Not now, anyway - it's far too late for any of that nonsense.

Instead, I'm going to upload some of my latest marine artworks, something which would take all day with the dial-up arrangement. The paintings are all a bit same-ish, as regards subject-matter, I'm afraid, as I'm working to a theme for the forthcoming Duff House exhibition.
