Cost cutting hits extreme – my free prawn crackers were omitted with the take-away tonight. Of course I don’t usually eat them (or maybe have 2 or 3) but I suddenly have a craving for a whole bag full….
I try to come up with lots of different titles, but for some reason ‘grumpy’ is one that I see I have used before. I guess it’s been a long day. Things aren’t helped by my real lack of tolerance of people who don’t drive things, far too many open ended issues in life right […]
Talking to someone last night about questions you get asked when visiting the registry office to apply for a marriage license (as they had done it recently). “Can you confirm that you aren’t related to one another ?” So, the question for Sunday – which response to you give in order to get the license […]
MedicalI had my medical – the good news is that I have to loose a little weight and have a little more exercise. Now let me think – I could have figured that out myself without work sponsoring a medical. Anyways, at least I know I am in fairly good health. Actually, the guy in […]
What a busy week. I feel as if my week has been stuck in PowerPoint. Still, tomorrow is the day off for a medical. I elected to have the medical in London based on my last experience in Cambridge where the guy taking my blood I felt was a drug addict and the overall experience […]

Hectic WeekSo I’ve finally decided that my day in the office starts at 7AM. I’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember now, but every night make the decision ‘must get into the office early tomorrow as lots to do’. I’ve given up- it’s official – work starts at 7AM. Sadly it […]
Sunday shopping in Waitrose yet again a bitter disappointment… No Sunday Times, actually very little of any newspaper left anywhere I went to. The only option I had in a petrol station was the Sunday Sport – I decided to pass on that option. No Limes (again) No Beef Stock (again) No Glass Bottle Coke (only […]
…. augmented by the ultimate in poor taste. Last night I saw what looked like a brand new BMW 7 series (black). A very nice car, obviously good Engineering and aesthetically pleasing. However, as it drove by I noticed that the driver had elected to put an England flag on the license plate. Do people […]
In the never ending pursuit of finding poor shops in Cambridge, yesterday brought up a new candidate Marks and Spencer. Of course I was already frustrated as I had already been into another store, only to be able to browse (as English law dictates that shops can only sell goods for 6hrs maximum, shops often […]
