Botheration!

As I walked past the building site around the new School of Informatics building, I tore the sleeve of my coat on a bit of fence.   As this is the coat I wear when visiting companies and other posh places, I'm going to have to buy a new one.  This is very irritating.   I'm not sure which annoys me most; having to spend the money or having to spend the time and effort to find a new coat that I like. 

Probably the time is the more important, as it's time that I basically don't have.  Although admittedly, if I were going to spend money, I'd rather spend it on new electrical goods.  (I've been reading about HD TVs, although it seems a little early to buy one yet because there aren't enough HD TV signals (or HD DVDs) to display).

It is still a bit early for HDTV, although we're steadily making more use of ours. Probably an easy decision if you have an HD games console (Playstation 3) etc, as the games do look fabulous, as also do any videos or photos that we view using it (our PS3 is a gateway to all the photos, vids & mp3s that sit on our PC). We only have the Virgin HD content, which is pretty limited but it is nice to watch some of the BBC stuff in HD. It does even make normal TV look slightly better (our Virgin box upscales it to HD pretty well). We haven't really bothered with Blu-Ray just yet, though.
