More computer training

This is just a quick post of some photos from a computer training session I helped out with. All very Geldofy.

The computer training runs every week, but because I was coming a banner was made and I had to do my best Prince Michael of Kent minor royalty impression. Most my input was simple stuff that I learnt when I was a kid and providing moral support for the people who volunteer to give up every Saturday to help out.





Hot season has well and truly hit, the temperature in the house ranges from 38-32, which is slightly below the highs outside but still a bit on the warm side.

Also I now have a new housemate, she's very nice, doesn't complain about my terrible taste in music and occasionally makes tea (and she reads this blog). Its nice to have someone to talk to when the NEPA goes off for the evening.

Mr Ratty II - First Blood


As the only form of rodent control sold in Nigeria appears to be poison, my new housemate has brought me a present of a rat trap. With the power to moderately annoy a rat, or do some serious damage to my fingers the Rattinator 5000 marks a dangerous upswing in the level of violence. Its him or me.






In the black corner we have Rattus rattus aka Mr Ratty the second most deadly creature on earth, equipped with an arsenal of contagious pathogens featuring the ever popular Bubonic plague and toxoplasmosis.






In the other corner is Richard, equipped with moderate intelligence giving him the power to use basic tools (poorly).

Its a close call.


Carefully placing the trap by his new entrance point we didn’t have to wait long before the first kill.



You can imagine the Ratty home being a sad place, little Timmy ratty asking Mrs Ratty
“Mummy when’s daddy coming home, he said he’d read me a story when he came back”

And then 2 nights later Mrs Ratty, obviously coming to investigate Mr Ratty’s disappearance:

I feel no regret.




I know what you’re thinking, some form of graph is in order to plot my struggle against this invasion:




However this tells us very little...

What you need is a pie chart:





Now that really adds to the story
