Why is it when installing software you end up with a million other pieces of software you never asked for.
I installed some lexmark printer drivers the other day on my windows machine, and I opened IE just now and found I have a LexMark Search tool bar and a good search tool bar, both installed by said drivers.
its enough to make one scream. who knows what else is installed on my system that I don’t know about.
Hello Paris & smelly metro subways
Mar 17th
Hello!
We have now left scotland and all of its historic castley goodness and arrived in france.
I have to say it wasn’t the best start – we got lost on the subways trying to get to Dream Castle (The Disney themed hotel we are staying at for the night). You know when the shit has hit-eth the fan when jem starts worrying. (Thats my job).
Jem just pointed out an interesting fact – It took us longer to get from the airport to the hotel, then from Scotland to France.. which is a whole other country.
And I don’t want to complain (but I will), their subways smell. alot. And just so you can imagine – I would rather sleep in the fortitude valley train station on a saturday/sunday morning after a nights worth of brisbane getting shitfaced then enter a subway in paris at any time of the day. gross.
While on the train, I was thinking of things I would like to be able to say in French (hello google translator)
- All your base are belong to us
- Take me to your leader
- do not want
But anyway, tomorrow we go to disney land!
We have 550 hi res photos already, mostly of castles and other such things.. don’t worry we will invite you all around for a slideshow
Ian! to answer your question, we were not in Dublin for the St Patrick’s day celebrations
apparently it is very busy. They also dont celebrate for a single day, but have St Patrick’s Festival which goes for 5 days. lucky buggers. They were setting up the festival while we were there and had several streets closed off for it.
anyway, im sure most of my blog is incoherent, I blame paris for its futile public transport system, or something
Hope everyone is well!
