On two different fronts, I feel an outbreak of warth in the near future, and like Vesuvius, I'm incapable of mild warth, which is one of the reasons why generally my warth levels are pretty low. On one front, there's absolutely nothing I can do except accept that the bargain deal I got was not quite the bargain it seemed at the time due to the use of the cheapest possible component in a rather crucial place, which is somewhat ill-advised. A proper component I could just have whipped off, even if it may have required getting yet another toy for the toolbox, and I have a replacement component sat here ready to use. But I can't do that as the extra fifty pence a proper component would cost was saved, and the one fitted is non-removable, except under destructively brute force. The replacement part I shall fit tomorrow (once I've destroyed this one to get it off) cost about eight quid. So it's a really, really dumb way to ensure a complete lack of repeat business at any point. And on the other front, I shall be needing the season ticket I paid for months ago but am unable to collect in person until it is required tomorrow, so I shall be queueing in the grand old traditional style, ready to get very, very cross indeed if the difficulties I have been led to expect do materialise. That's right, it's the start of the football season and that heady mix of despair and heartbreak shot through with occasional fleeting glimpses of virtually unfulfillable hope will be giving my blood pressure levels a thorough workout once again. In other news, I have reason to be gently pleased about something (the details of which will remain undisclosed), but it's important enough for me to note the fact. There's always good news somewhere!
