Eid day and it's quiet round here. The department ticks along on the strength of seven expats and Eddie - difficult to believe we have a headcount of 34, trying to go to 41. Still, the rest of the business is the same - never mind Mr Shareholder, your investment is safe with us...

Picked up an HP w2448hc monitor last night - it's VAST! More screen real estate than you can shake a stick at. The only real downside is that, as always, the built in speakers are absolute pants - I feel another upgrade coming on in the audio department. Mind you I watched part of the Dave Gilmour in Gdansk DVD on the new monitor and it looks quite spectacular. Who needs a telly?

Fight Club happened again last night. Four participants indulged themselves. Don't think I'll win this week, Chiller's looking much too good this time. The themes this week were a bit more challenging than the previous ones:

• Greet the morning
• I spy
• Communication
• Too many _______
• This photo sucks

You can see the results in the Trash Can - or at least you could if I could remember the URL for it. I thought I was slow last night, but it turns out that despite only being 4 minutes of the hour to go when I posted, I was still the first one in.
