By It's been yet another month without any sort of post. So, I have a feeling that monthly updates may turn out to be the way forward.
Anyway, April saw the return of Doctor Who to our screens for a fifth series since the relaunch. Or, if you're counting from the very start, that'll be 31 now. I thought the first episode was a bit weak but there's been a few good episodes since. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, and the return of the Silurians in a couple of episodes time; one of the few aliens from the original series that had me cowering behind the sofa as a kid.
At work, we had the kids in daily over the Easter period and on the Wednesday of the second week we took 23 of them to go and see How To Train Your Dragon. It was a lot of fun and the kids thoroughly enjoyed it.
I sorted out a total of 5 PCs in April and everything must be working fine because nobody has called me back with further problems. Talking of PCs, we took delivery of 9 new PCs at work this month. 6 for the IT suite upstairs, 2 for the office and a new server to manage them all. They're lots quicker than the old ones; although they still chug a bit with the accounts spreadsheets.
At home I've replaced the NetGear DG834G router that I'd been using for the last few years with a brand new Linksys WAG320N. I have also finally purchased a BluRay player and some films to watch on it. Might now have to buy myself a proper HD TV. Although; the monitor I bought in March is big enough to double up in that capacity.
Manchester United crashed out of the Champions League, Peterborough United got relegated from the Championship and it's looking more than likely that Chelsea may just snatch the Premier League title. A couple of dodgy decisions have given them the impetus bur if I'm really truthful then Manchester United have performed poorly in games they should have won and have lost games they should never have lost. Dimitar Berbatov has been missing for long periods of the season but I think they'ved relied too heavily on Wayne Rooney at times since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. Sir Alex Ferguson needs to spend on a number of areas in the summer; with right-back, central-midfield and wide-left being key areas. Another world-class forward wouldn't go amiss either.
Finally, I ended March expecting to get a new car just after the Easter weekend. However, it turns out that Citroen UK wouldn't have any available until August. I ended up going to East Road Garage in Egremont and ordering a Ford C-Max instead. On Friday April 30th I took delivery of a 1.8 Diesel Zetec version and am very happy with it. Citroen's loss is Ford's gain.
