I am indeed a PITA!
Specifically, I would appear to have fractured my coccyx by falling over in the garden a week and a half ago. So I am an official PITA, and there would appear to be nothing I can do about it.

If you weren't to stand right behind Dolly, you wouldn't be such a PITA.

That would at least have been a sensible way to do it. But no, I had to do it weeding the lawn...

I hope you had the obligatory Frankie Howerd conversation!
Dr James Kilmore: Just as I thought. You fell on your coccyx.
Francis Bigger: I did not. I fell on my back.
Get well soon.

Thanks!
I'll be fine in a couple of weeks. It just makes things...uncomfortable...and since the medical treatment is painkillers and "be carefull with it" there's not a lot else I can do anyway.

Sorry to hear that, Griff.
It must be a real pain in the butt, to go number two. Just saying...
Hope you get better, soon.

Isn't this a case of IS-A vs HAS-A?
Either way, I hope you heal quickly.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I fractured mine years ago slipping on ice - I was off work for about 10 weeks, as I couldn't sit down, so couldn't drive or work at a desk. I couldn't walk in comfort for more than a few minutes and had difficulty finding a comfortable sleeping position. I was a wreck and feel sorry for you!
It's not a fracture they can immobilise, and they can't put your ass in a sling!

I'd be packing my things now as moving vans are hauling away office furniture. The beginning of the end.
The suit isn't that much comparitively, but once word gets out, no one will take them seriously again.
To bad, the have some really cool WPF apps.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Windows update is rather annoying me. I started an update about 8am and after the download and update it went into reboot and more updates. Then three hours or so in I get this elephant -
Failure configuring Windows updates
Undoing changes
Don't turn off your computer
After an hour I think it should have done it!

I may have deaded it. Goes through post boot "updating your system", gets to 10% and hangs.
Is there any way to stop the updates on boot?

Probably a bit late by then. Have you tried Safe Mode?

Safe mode still tried to install the updates.

Just make sure you've got the re-install disk(s) handy first
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.
