No Timewasters Please…

No Timewasters Please. It’s been used in classified ads for ages, and I am now seeing it more and more on our local Freecycle list. But what is it really going to achieve? Ah, they don’t want people to waste their time, I’ll carry on looking for someone who doesn’t give a **** how much [Continue]

Have I got dissapointments for you

I have just watched what must be the funniest episode of Have I Got News For You. Hosted by Tom Baker, who has clearly completely lost it, most of the show was spent (for me anyway) creasing up at the expressions as Paul Merton, Chris Addison and Ian Hislop tried desperately to figure out a [Continue]

Next day at no cost. Why should we pay more?

Well, it has been a hectic few months. Not helped by being asked to do some work for Waverley Excursions about the MV Balmoral in March. While most welcome in income terms and an interesting piece of work, it was one of those that required dropping everything. Only some stuff couldn’t be dropped. So we’ve [Continue]

One solitary penny per person each way (inc. taxes). So 7 of [Continue]

More silly stuff to break the day up

For some odd reason I can’t quite remember, the national anthem just came up at work, which reminded my of this which, unlike the Gordon Brown song, I found instantly on You Tube. Enjoy. [Continue]

Pizza Shut

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear. The family are all (except DS who is allergic to milk) like pizza. Pizza of all kinds is popular, and sometimes only a Pizza Hut will do. I’m not saying that this is the finest pizza available, just that it has a certain something that others do not (DW [Continue]

A little light relief courtesy of Weird Al

In our house we have long been fans of Weird Al’s ebay song, but yesterday DW came across a veritable treasure trove of Al’s stuff on You Tube. A particular favourite is a classic Star Wars song at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-gi4Nt_xxg but there are just too many great songs to list, go watch. [Continue]
