  Jeesos it's been hot out. Over 30 degrees. I'm going off to hide in our lovely air-conditioned data centre in a minute. I think Russ Abbott had the name for it - Betty Swollocks. It was too darn warm at badminton the other night too - sweating like a pig within minutes.
So dehydrated by the end of 2 hours that I could barely move my limbs. Funniest news story of the day - Metallica's drummer (Lars) has been taken ill just days before the band headline the Download festival here in the UK. Rather than pull out and disappoint their fans the band have 'borrowed' a drummer from one of the other bands on the bill - Dave from Slayer.. That has left Slayer short one drummer, so they've borrowed Joey from Slipknot and Sal from Life of Agony to fill in on their set.
Presumably these 2 guys will do their own band's set too. Talk about musical drumstools! Did I mention is was hot out? Yuk sticky. I've got a new toy - Creative Zen Xtra MP3 jukebox with 60 (that's SIXTY) gigs of storage (take note Apple with your meagre 40 gig iPods). Got it from a guy on eBay. Not that I have an eBay habit. Really. Honest.
