Bloody blogger
I was ever so tired the other night, after the mishap posted below. I tried to save a shit couple of days and ended up making it worse in the end.I was about to go to bed, absolutely knackered, having sponged off the sofa for the umpteenth fucking time and decided to blog the snippet of my life in the hope that I would make an amusing little aside for you all. I typed and re-typed the word "Mussel" about 5 times, and couldn't get my tired head around it at all. No matter how I typed it, it looked wrong - my brain refused to compute. So I decided to worry about it later, posted the entry and went to sleep.
All the next day, I tried to go in and rewrite it, and all I got was this:
"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, blogger@trakken.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log."
Consequently, and most of you will know how much anguish this has caused me, there has been an enormous spelling mistake on my blog for 48 hours and I have been unable to get to it to fix it. This has been gnawing at me to a degree that you can only imagine...
And I have, of course, received an email and a blog post pointing out my cock up. I'm surprised that there has only been two, frankly.
OF COURSE I KNOW!!!1111 I couldn't change the bloody thing because blogger decided to taunt me with it by displaying it, but crashing every time I tried to edit! Bastards!!!
So, thank you Vanessa, and to Zanna for pointing it out. I very much appreciate it. I am now going to stomp off and find someone else's blog to cast my pedant wand over to try and redress the balance in my life.
Fuck, I hate being wrong - especially in such a bloody public manner! I'm going to leave it now, the damage has been done to my reputation already...

Dear Boxy lady - surely you mean mussel-bound? After all, "muscle" was merely a typo!
Brock - did you manage to eat enough mussels for that to happen? Do they have the same effect as eggs?

I was going to point it out, but I don't want your bloody pedant wand going over my blog, thankyouverymuchly! =o]
But I was sure you were doing it purposely for the porn-value....
