^ I see he's suing his local council - er right, that's going to work - not! Yep an idiot.

In saying that I managed to lock myself out of 3 Raspberry Pis yesterday after installing and enabling ufw whilst forgetting to allow port 22 through. I had to mount the drivers elsewhere to edit the ufw  config files to disable temporarily.

Cold out there .. I shall keep this afternoon's bike ride to a bare minimum. Very light snow when I took this 90 minutes ago. Stopped now.

I'm at Newcastle City Hall, at a Ben Elton gig. It's the present day. I remark to my companion that I hope he doesn't spend the whole gig bashing the Tories. We're near the front.

Ben comes on. He's just not funny. He looks serious. After the first two minutes he steps down in front of the stage and sits in a rocking chair to continue his act. I can still hear him speaking, although he's nowhere near the mic. I realise he has a lapel mic on.

Good one, about 6 mins. I was baffled for a minute or two I must admit. Couldn't even imagine a word to fit for the 4th go.
