Well, I finally did it...
... I have just this moment finished beating the proverbial (seems there's a lot of it about these days don't you think?) out of my computer speakers. They've had it coming for days now with their constant efforts to drive me nuts by making all of my favourite tunes echoey and/or "Chipmunkesque". I'm happy to say that I have solved the problem, because no longer are my choons distorted.
Now the speakers don't work at all and silence prevails
Score 1 for me I think
I've been eating nuts. Dry roasted peanuts to be exact. Well, I say eating, more like knocking the bowl over and spilling the contents all over my desk, floor and keyboard - mmm, now all my belonging will taste salty! Yummy.

ops:
That about sums it up! (thanks Jake)
My arms hurt. My weedy, I mean manly and incredibly muscly, fore arms are quite sore. All that moving of stretchers, loading of ambulances and carrying of patients really does tire a man out!
Anyways, must dash - 24 is on!
