Spotted this whilst passing M&S tonight: Am I the only person that thinks the posture is somewhat provocative and looks like someone wanting a fight ?
Sunday afternoon decided to run a few errands. Of course I can’t go in early as half of East Anglia usually goes to Cambridge (though why they’d bother I don’t know). Got to the furniture store only to find it closed: Why the hell would you actually bother opening ? 5hrs open on a Sunday […]
I ended up in London yesterday to make some purchases. What I love about London is that when you decide you want something, there is a pretty high chance that you will be able to find it available and in stock. Of course you will likely pay more than Internet stores, but for someone impatient […]
This week has been a series of disasters in terms of travel….. Driving Side Mirror Wednesday evening: drivers side mirror in car removed due to some complete idiot driving at 90mph along a country road and deciding to overtake at an inappropriate moment. Swerved to avoid, but car wing mirror hit and torn to pieces. […]
This week has been strange. If you had asked me what would happen a week ago I’d have said yet another week, albeit my mind going up and down about what to do next work wise. Well Monday PM events took a turn for the better and by Friday I have a new job. My […]

Breakthrough. Finally this week I managed to get the telephone number from the old house to the new one. Now you’d think that moving less than half a mile that would be a really simple task. Sadly, instead it’s taken nearly 4 months to do so – mainly due to having to move service supplier […]
Today was the first time I had my office at home in a reasonable shape. Blinds are still on order, but otherwise I think I’m pretty much done with things. Over the past few weeks I’ve realised that Muji appeals to my (minor) OCD issue with things having to match. For example, if I have […]
Monday was Burns night. A tradition where various Scottish foods (and of course Whisky) is consumed in honour of the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Personally I’ve never read any of his stuff myself, although I’m sure we had some readings at school but forgotten all about it. Burns night is interesting as it’s one of […]
So I watched the keynote live yesterday on the iPad after returning from Oxford. I had already indicated to people that I generally don’t buy first generation products that are new and novel as usually there are teething problems. That said, I did buy one of the first MacBook Air’s (happened to be in San […]
