Super glue

6:06pm Monday 28th June 2010

OK, so I'm an idiot. (no comments required). Couldn't sleep last night and feel like a train ran over me, so what do I do? I decide to go out and cut the grass which is now about a foot high because of all the rain we've had.

A certain mobile phone company whose name I won't mention, that starts with a "V" and ends with an "e" has set a new record for highway robbery this week.

WHAT are you thinking letting the tellers go to lunch......at lunchtime when the bank is it's busiest? I mean, really! America hires part time people to come in and work from 11 AM to 2:30 PM to "cover lunches".

The long journey / fiasco home

I don't even know where to start in trying to relay all the things that went wrong between 11:30 AM Wednesday morning, Tucson, Arizona time, and 5:00 PM Thursday, Darlington time.

Pond scum

10:19am Monday 11th January 2010

Been trying to figure out why a SLED is called a SLEDGE here? Sorry, but it conjures up images of pond scum as "sledge" reminds me of "sludge", which reminds me of pond scum. It's all down to word association, which I use quite often to help me remember things.

OK, so I've been complaining about this for days and getting no sympathy at my house.

OK, you've finally got me

I've been here nine years give or take, and I've put up with some garbage in this town, but today was the prize. Sorry, but "garbage" means "rubbish" in your UK terms.

I have a right to complain

What a country! Try to follow along. Can you imagine an American doctor's office, or anything for that matter, TOTALLY CLOSING DOWN so everyone can "do lunch" at the same time? Common practice here.
