Cheers!!Condolences Tony as well.
yesterday was a bit of a killer for me (and continues). Get up, straight into revision (collections at the start if every term), listen to a bit of the old itunes to help. Computer gets all laggy and freezes/unfreezes after a minute. PITA. OK so, run a quick defrag, minor fragmentation on the boot disk, all fixed.
Then the Nvidia driver starts to die, BSODs everywhere...OK so run driver cleaner and do a bit of spring cleaning...now the thing won't even boot apart from in safemode...
After a few hours of frustration and reinstalling drivers etc it finally boots...then decides it won't stay stable.
So now I'm back down at stock settings, a mere 3.2GHz, and 1280Mhz on the Ram with the voltages down to stock.
And because it took so long, I'm now doing all the work I planned to do overnight (gotta love carbonyl chemistry)...and procrastinating to avoid doing it.

Hmm my day has already started crappy this morning, currently typing with frozen fingers. Let me explain:
We have a singletrack train connection to Dordrecht and Geldermalsen. The trains can cross each other at the dualtracked stations, trains go at xx.17 and xx.47 every hour in both directions, so two trains leaving at the same time. In dordrecht I have to take the 07.29 or 07.42 intercity service to Den Haag (The Hague).
First I arrived at 07.12, only to see a train leaving at 07.13. Swearing the <...> out of the driver I made my way to the frozen platform to my usual spot. On my way I hear that the train that just left was the 6.47 train, meaning that my usual train would be seriously delayed. An intercom message confirmed: a delay of 20 minutes.
After freezing my nose off for 20 minutes (Air temp: -7 to -8*C): no train. Five minutes later a train to the other direction arrives, and LEAVES. A leaving train means no other trains will be able to arrive for at least 15 minutes because of the single track. So I decide to leave.
On my way to my cycle I meet my cousin/friend. Turns out that the train of 06.47 which left at 7.13 has only come one station further and got stuck there because of a frozen track switch. Buses would be used as an alternative way of transport.
One bus arrived. 3 trainloads of people tried to get in there. Believe me when I say that was funny to watch, my cousin made a video of it and will be uploading it to YouTube shortly.
So, now I'm sitting at home while missing my Math college, being ****ed at the cold...

Yeah this could turn out to be quite a long one I think
I too had a sh*t morning. Bus was late, missed the train, next train got canceled even though it was almost within p*ssing distance (points failure). Next train had to go in to other platform resulting in several hundred people pushing their way up and over a tiny footbridge. Luckily managed to get a seat on the train, but some heffer was practically sitting on my lap and also reading every email I was typing on my notebook.
