Bureacracy - the role playing game

I started the paperwork on the renewal of my CRB (criminal records check, required by anyone working with children) in January. For various reasons there was a delay putting it into the system, but I got the result a couple of weeks ago, showing that I am indeed as boring as expected.

Except that someone just noticed they spelled my name wrong, as MARGUS.

Hopefully the phone call I just made to the CRB people will be enough to get it fixed. If not I'll probably have to go through the whole bloody rigmarole again...

Comic Relief Dr Who

I forgot that there was going to be a Comic Relief Dr. Who episode tonight. Anyone know if it's been shown yet?

Bargains

Today's ebay bargains were one of these for a good deal less than the asking price - I've always wanted to play with one, but the price was too high - and some urine testing sticks (for experiments at work) at about a quarter the price offered by most laboratory suppliers, since they aren't made by Bayer but by another company that gives you twice as many sticks for under half the price.
