After over twelve hours sleep, I still feel like doggy doo. You see, we went on a famous "self catering" holiday for a few days.

So, here we go again with a rant against Virgin Mobile who are my Blackberry "supplier". Sadly, they are also our phone provider, internet provider, and digital television provider.

Robert Plant and the Band of Joy, The Sage, Gateshead

11:49am Monday 25th October 2010

I hate the word "amazing". It sounds so blonde and airheaded. I must have used that exact word about fifty times Wednesday night to describe the music I was hearing and the sheer professionalism of the musicians playing that music.

Super glue

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.

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".

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.
