After much to-ing and fro-ing we finally picked up the car on 30th January. Since then I have got used to her quirks and become very fond of her.
Also since then, she has nearly killed me.
On 3rd March, as we were attempting to take Random Cat to the vet to have his abscess seen to, [...]

Sit comfortably and I’ll tell you how difficult it is to buy a car from Perrys of Aylesbury.
Two weeks ago, we contacted them to indicate that we would like to buy a new Fiat Panda from their good selves. A discussion was had about options, and a deposit paid.
Having not heard anything back from them [...]

I’d like to think that I’m not particularly motivated by money in order to do my best at work. I’d like to think that working hard brings reward. I’d like to think that being conscientious, dedicated and enthusiastic would mean success.
But I’m realising that just isn’t the case. I’ve just had a long conversation with [...]

We spent intervals of the morning tracing back Phil’s illness as well as we could, as he has a GP appointment this afternoon and tis best to be prepared. It would appear, after much analysis, that it all stems back to the appearance of Random Cat (aka The Stripy). There was certainly a lot of [...]

I discovered yesterday that some random person is claiming to have ‘completed’ a certain classified ads site. He worked there for three months at the most, and I know for a fact that it wasn’t him developing the site anyway.
I found myself a tad angered at this, not necessarily on behalf of the classified ads [...]

I don’t often feel obliged to comment on the news, or highlight a particular item, but this article about police overreaction made me want to scream.
“Ray Markham said footballs had been flying into his garden for years but when one smashed into his greenhouse last month he refused to return it.
The 68-year-old, who lives [...]

I wish more than anything that I hadn’t tried to take Random Cat to the vet. He escaped from the cat box in the car park, and is now lost and alone in a strange town. Words cannot describe how awful I feel. He’s such a timid cat that even if anyone sees him, he [...]

Today, along with most people with email addresses, I received yet another phishing email. It wasn’t a particularly fancy looking email, and it was purportedly from a bank that I don’t even bank with. That’s reassuring in a way, because if I receive spookily targetted phishing emails, I will start to worry. A lot.
It makes [...]

For reasons that escape me, a Floridian teenager created a myspace account and used my gmail address to do so.
Attempts to get her to rectify this have so far failed. After I grew exasperated and defaced her journal (only mildly, I hasten to add) and left a blog post for her expressing my dissatisfaction, she [...]
