• The Royal British Legion tells Nick Griffin to just fuck off.

• A deeply frightening site.

• NotN: Fear of Microsoft Bob Hope grips Google.

A shockingly busy day today, in which we called about the older teenager's schooling or lack thereof, Freda's feet and Freda's teeth and I applied for the dole (though it's unlikely to take effect for a couple more months). The DWP site stretches new goatses of uselessness. IE 7 is actually worse to use than IE 6, too. Then out for necessary shopping in the thunder and lightning hailstorm. Freda hates the space bubble on her push chair and insisted on holding an umbrella up herself.

Madam the cat is missing. We are exceedingly worried.

I played "Welcome To The Pleasuredome" today and Freda, proving the toddler as gayboy theory, started dancing immediately.

Heh, nice one. Welcome To The Pleasure Dome is a fine track.

Good luck with the cat, btw..

If it helps, the DWP site claimed the online application wouldn't work on Mozilla on my netbook running Linux, and it did, absolutely fine. I would simply ignore their witterings and give it a bash.

I tried it in Firefox and it was horribly slow. I tried it IE 7 and it was actually worse. The Government Gateway system is a truly remarkable advertisement for PFI.

No, it just is horribly slow. See, they don't really want you to claim.

Considering after I'd done mine they phoned me and asked a gazillion questions anyway, you might be better just calling them to begin with.

Has the older teenager still not got a school place?

[reddragdiva]

Nope! It's like fighting a Black Knight made of jelly. I think the system is hoping she'll die of old age.
