Private Swimming Pool

In: Personal

Must get my own swimming pool! We all went down to South London for a birthday party at one of Euan’s friends granddad’s house. The reason was because they’ve got their own indoor swimming pool, and very nice it is too. The pool was massive by private indoor pool standards (we had 4 adults and [...]

Odds & Ends

In: Personal

I’ve been meaning to post something on this for the last couple of weeks and for one reason or another never got round to it but… I’ve been pondering what the job title and description is of the person at Kellogg’s who has to come with new ways of packaging cornflakes. What’s prompted this is [...]

All gone

In: Personal

Oh well, that didn’t last long. In fact the snow had stopped about 10 minutes after I’d posted the last post and by the time I came out of church you could barely tell it had snowed at all. No snowmen today then.

Snowing

In: Personal

Woo Hoo! It’s snowing! Not too heavily at the moment but it may develop. The forecasters have been promising this since Friday and it had seemed that everywhere except Watford was getting it. Maybe I won’t be able to get back from church; doubt it though as it’s already starting to ease off:(

Shopping for Charity

In: Personal

Had a really boring night last night; went to the cinema intending to go and see School of Rock but couldn’t be bothered to queue, so came home, popped up to the local shops and got a take-away curry and few bottles of beer and watched 8-Mile again, then spent some time making some cosmetic [...]

Valentines

In: Personal

Just in case you were wondering, this is what I got Louise for Valentine’s Day: and Joanne Harris’ latest book, Holy Fools.

Vodafone Revisited

In: Personal

I remembered on the way home whilst using my mobile phone car kit that I hadn’t updated the blog to say that it had been done! I arrived at work at 8.40am on Monday to find the engineer waiting for me (I wasn’t expecting him until the afternoon). So I’ve used it for the first [...]

Catch Up

In: Personal

Haven’t posted for awhile (excepting the Peter Kay post below). I had an excellent weekend (Valentine’s Day) as Louise had bought me Pirates of the Carribean on DVD. This is just a fantastic film. We watched it twice over the weekend with Euan. And now, instead of coming home from work and playing knights, we’re [...]

Laugh til you Cry

In: Personal

This little lot had me stifling gut wrenching laughter at work so much that I was in tears; from Peter Kay: [thanks to the folks of tMP for supplying them] 1) Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones. 2) At the end of every party there is always a girl crying. 3) One of the [...]

Vodafone == Pathetic

In: Personal

I’m really cross now. I had an appointment to have a car kit for my mobile phone fitted to my car on December 9th, 2003. No-one showed up, not even a phone call to say they weren’t coming. To speak to them you were on hold for up to an hour and when I did [...]
