It’s been a while since I’ve been at The Wrestlers in Cambridge. Yesterday went for lunch and it was really good – the best Thai food I’ve had in Cambridge ever. Starting off with the usual crackers and dip whilst the food was cooking: Then Beef Chili for main:

Last time I was in Japan I attended a dinner at a Korean BBQ restaurant. Before the food was served, someone arrived with a set of small aprons to wear – a nice touch for someone who commonly spills food on their shirt. I was so impressed, I asked the waiter if I could have […]

I like working at home. I get so much done and I also have more customised resources than work. My office space is finally tidy:

I was annoyed as the train to Kings Cross involved a replacement bus service. If I wanted to take a bus I would take a bus, I don’t really understand why taking a train has to involve part of the journey being on a bus. Instead the Liverpool Street line was running. National Express East […]

This picture below was created for me from my blog, the size of the text relates to the number of times words are used. I never really ‘got’ this presentation concept until it was applied to something I wrote. Taking a quick scan of it and words included I think pretty much sums me up: […]

I stayed over in London a good few weeks back. On leaving the hotel very early in the morning I spotted this: Yes, a van drives up to a bulding. Man gets out, picks hose from back of van and then goes over to water the window boxes !

Following on from the concept of ‘turbo shandy’, I made a novel drink this morning by accident as I was in the kitchen at work and was distracted due to having a conversation. 1. Tip Starbucks Via powder (that you realise isn’t that great, but wanting to use up) into empty coffee cup. 2. Instead […]

Shock horror. 2 bits of customer service in the UK that have been outstanding. Dinner at the Orrery in Marylebone London. Amazing service – the best I’ve ever received in the UK. Upon arrival no shitty comments about not having a reservation, taken to a table straight away. The food was absolutely amazing. A couple […]
