Spotted this the other week in Cambridge: Total miracle. Saturday night and somewhere open until after 6PM ! I had to go in. Apparently a trial. The place was full- so the trial clearly yielded a positive result. However, no doubt it will last. The next miracle I’m not rating as happening anytime soon – […]
I really hate spam. That’s a bit of a stupid statement I guess since I doubt there are people who liked it. However, my blog has been hit fairly severely recently. I just don’t understand why you’d be hit with lots of random comments containing random characters and nonsense. I think things might have been […]
Sorry, yet another rant about mobile connectivity. I really struggle to see why anyone would buy a 3G capable iPad in the UK. The possibilities for such a gadget are immense. However, I just can’t see how you’d have a usable experience in the UK with the poor quality of 3G provision. Take today- simple […]
We all know the lack of management of stock levels in Cambridge. I’m certain there’s a 50 person company in Cambridge that writes software for stock and inventory control – pity it’s never used. Though I’m also inclined to think that much of it is downto management problems. Today’s experience – Marks and Spencer at […]
It’s the subtle things in life that make a difference. In this case, typing in a license key into a computer made difficult by some silly software developer not making life easy for people. Okay, I fully appreciate the need for license keys, and the format: aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd-eeeee-fffff-ggggg is the generally accepted format. However, when I’m […]
Spotted this in Cambridge tonight: Doesn’t surprise me that Cambridge City is covered by Liberal Democrat. Sadly, if this was at street level, I’d have made a minor amendment: Or maybe ?:
Travel to the station today. Great, this bloody stupid guided bus route is yet again inconveniencing me. In this case, a taxi stopping down the road from the station as it couldn’t drop me outside due to roadworks. This whole thing really does irritate me. Specifically, yet another situation where people who live outside of […]
This holiday weekend I’ve been in London 3 times: Friday night. Some drinks and dinner. I must confess to having a little too much to drink. Well okay, quite a bit too much to drink. Thankfully had a guest staying over so had someone with me to make sure I arrived back home safely. I […]
I’ve had a friend staying for the past few weeks from the US. Originally for a few days, but extended due to the ‘ash crisis’. To mark him finally making it home to the US (only to come back again next week) we decided to cook a roast the night before he left: That’s 2 […]
Friend from Scotland visiting tomorrow, leading to a reunion of (Scottish) people in London. Let me think of a few keywords…. Friday night, Old Street/Hoxton Square, Bank holiday weekend, Drinks, Last (or first) train home Somehow I think a headache on Saturday morning, then back into London again on Saturday to repeat it all….
