What enjoyment do train guards get from making you wait that extra 30 secs from the train stopping to allowing the doors to open? #
Never understood the bald top, long back, sides and beard look. http://yfrog.com/338viuj #
Is there a version that only plays the first bit of the DVD? http://yfrog.com/4gh15nj #

ToDo or not ToDo

I shall not be beaten, I will find a way to work with ToDo lists that doesn’t seem to be more work than the benefits I get.
I’ve gone back to Things again, because it syncs well with iCal (or BusyCal in my case) and the iPhone, rather than any other major reason, I was quite [...]

It's funny the way some people put their arm out to stop the bus when it's waaaaaaay in the distance. They must have missed one once! #
Just seen someone with their headphone over their hood. Does that work? #
Must spell check before blogging when mobile. #

Need Larger Size T-Shirts?

If you like me, are a slightly larger size than average, then you might have trouble finding clothes.
I’ve found a great supplier of larger size clothing at www.bigteeshirt.co.uk
They have a great range of more than just t-shirts for the larger man.
They are also really friendly and helpful, and their delivery is fast and accurate, all [...]

Has anyone seen our sparrows?

Since the snow fell it seems all the sparrows that were happily feeding on our many feeders have disappeared.
We are still getting flocks of goldcrests, or finches I never remember which, on the thistle feeders, but everything else seems very quiet. I have a photo with 11, yes eleven, goldcrests in it which is [...]

O2 3g coverage in South West London

It seems to me that generally O2 3g coverage in South West London is pretty poor. I would generally expect to get pretty good signals throughout most of the M25 area but it seems this isn’t the case.
Richmond is a typical example. Even on the main High Street you can struggle to get a [...]

Need Your Car Servicing in the Twickenham Area? – Recommendation

We would highly recommend Alexanders of Twickenham who have been servicing our car for a few years now.
It’s always a struggle I think finding places you can trust, and who won’t make unnecessary charges for work that doesn’t need doing.
We’ve been taking the car to them for MOTs and Servicing and have been delighted with [...]

Human “Bedwarmers” – Would you want one?

I had to read this twice when I saw it, because I knew it wasn’t April 1st.
Apparently 3 Holiday Inns in the UK are offering a ‘human bed warming service’ this month. A ‘willing’ staff member will dress in an all in one sleeper suit which covers their hair as well apparently, and will lay [...]

I cant find one iPhone Twitter app that does what I want, & have to use two? Any recommendations? Using twitterific and echofon currently. #
Cyclists who ride at night with no lights should pay for their own treatment and any damage caused if they get hit! #

Actually enjoyed playing with SharePoint today and got some interesting stuff done. Might have to stop calling it Sh*tePoint at this rate. #
Turns out the guy with the similar name on the course shouldn't have been there. He got my letter and went on it anyway. #

Why would a large Tesco Metro decide to sell Coke but not Pepsi. Staff didn’t know why! #
How spooky to be on a course and to sit right next to someone from another part of your company with almost the same name as you. #
Can’t believe that SharePoint actually looks quite good. Let’s hope I [...]

Londoners

Londoners are often criticised for not talking to their neighbours and for the silent commute where no eye contact is made and no conversation is heard, possibly except for the two women talking about the unacceptable boyfriend their friend has and how crazy she is to move in with him because he will always be [...]

Another peak time trip into Londom

Sadly today I have to travel into London again for a training course. Not that I don’t want to do the training I just have no wish to endure the travel and the conditions people are made to endure. I have started writing this in the queue waiting to get onto the Waterloo [...]

Travelling in London? Avoid Buses!

At the start of the year I decided to swap from the bus and train to just the bus in an effort to save some money and to see if my journey would be any easier.
Whilst the bus from Hampton (R70) to Richmond has seemed to be fairly consistent, it’s just too slow, taking anything [...]

Work Exciting?

My day today will consist mainly of dealing with this mess
