Tips for a better standard of life, Part 1 of an occasional series



1. When trying to chill out from an evening that has involved being 'largered up to the eyeballs' on Stella, it is a good idea to avoid accidentally spilling more beer over your laptop PC. I have recently discovered that leaving a laptop to gently marinade overnight in the contents of a bottle of Asahi is not really the sort of thing you want to do - it tends to leave said laptops making funny little fizzing and popping noises, and also refusing to turn on, and necessitating a trip to PC World to get a new one. :-(



2. A good walk around the centre of London, taking in some of the sights (*) with a few friends, is a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon - and is also good exercise.



3. Theme Parks are fun, rides like this (**) are probably best avoided if you want to hold on to your lunch.



4. TV on the Radio are really good and should be listened to, I've been listening to the Young Liars EP pretty much exclusively for the last three days.



(*) scroll right a bit after clicking this link to see 'the sights'

(**) you'll need something that can play .3gp files to see this, although I wouldn't stress yourself over getting a player as the video I've posted is very short and a bit shit.
