Figjams Latest Fad

Filed under: Frsutrations — Tags: — bencastan @ 08:19

My local figjam has just got him self elected in the local government elections..

Quite an achievement you say for a figjam but not really,

1) He is representing the Greens a party which is devoid of real world policies and is very lucky that the major parties in NSW are both useless.

2) Give it 12 months and he will lose interest which, will be amusing as he has to do the hard yards for the whole term unless the whole council gets the boot for corruption or incompetance. No prizes for guessing which one I would pick as the most likely.

Win 98.. (Lost the key)

Win ME won’t boot off the CD

DSL Strange this one will not boot at all ..

I am currently trying Mandrake 8.0 That shows you how desperate I am.
