Today my brother took delivery of a new computer. As he's been working as a locum for the last three months, and has earned ELEVEN THOUSAND QUID, he went for a top-of-the-range one, and I went to look at it.
And that's all I did, really - there's not a lot on it. It's not even connected to the internet yet! Tsk.
However, there was one cool thing. He has some kind of jukebox situation, and to test it out he inserted (without any prompting from me) a bit of Belle and Sebastian. But the best bit was the effects you can put on the music! Not only can you make Stuart sound like ZEUS (Mandee, I think you should investigate), but you can make him sing like a gurl! It's really effective, too, though some of the effects are a bit woozy. And some could well drive you to acts of mindless violence. "Psychotic" is freaky but quite interesting; "drugged" is just a massive, building cacophony of feedback. Which goes quite well with Seymour Stein :)
I want a new computer. I need to be ready for Championship Manager 4...

or was it the other way round, can't remember.

A locum is a stand-in doctor. So unless there's a lot more about you I don't know, then no, you can't be one :)
