Did not really have much planned social wise over the Bank Holiday Weekend. I know this is not like me, but I prefer to keep things low key for a while. Saturday was quite busy, I was out the door soon after 8am and headed over to Amersham to get a courtesy health check on […]
Friday 25th May 2007
Nearly ten days without internet access. Painful is the only way I can describe it. Pav mentioned that it has been strange not seeing me online on MSN messenger in the evenings, and Sachin called me yesterday and had been wondering why I had been offline. Well the good news is that I placed my […]

Trust me, you do not appreciate the godsend a broadband internet pipe is, until it is gone. Then, I suppose that is the case with most things, the heart always longs for something that is no longer there. It has been nearly exactly three days without the broadband at home and I am truly suffering, […]
The Big Switch Off
Last night at approximately 11.30pm, I switched off my computer as normal. However it would be the last time I would have broadband internet access until my line is cleared and I switch over to Sky broadband. The count down starts here. I expect to be without broadband for two weeks but the wait could […]
Sunday 13th May 2007
It was several years ago, perhaps even 1999. I cannot remember exactly but the moment I recall like it was yesterday. I was listening to Five Live and more specifically Matthew Bannister’s show as it was then (before Anita Anand took over). Nick Crosgrove come on for his business segment and mentioned a new technology […]
Monday 7th May 2007
My weekend unofficially began on Friday morning. I was watching music television, something I never really do during working weekdays. I was channel hopping, as I do and came across Bliss. They were playing music videos from the 1980s (Golden era of the music video) and the opening bars of ‘Take On Me’ played. I […]
Thursday 3rd May 2007
As I drove to my piano lesson in Thame last night, I headed towards the sun, setting over in the North West. It was quite a picture postcard scene, with the sun just above the Oxfordshire chalk hills. As I turned around and came back just under three hours later, I followed the bright full […]
Sunday 29th April 2007
All in all, a great weekend. Nothing spectacular but good fun! I left home to head up to Leicester around 2.30pm and got to the hotel a little after 4pm. I was not in a rush on the drive up, so took my time, enjoying the music and dipping in and out of the commentary […]
Friday 27th April 2007
As long as I can remember, I have always wanted a great stereo system in the car that I drive. It all goes back some seven years ago, when I changed the factory fitted Philips cassette player in my Mum’s 1990 Mini Mayfair to a Pioneer cassette radio with a bit more “oomph” and a […]
Friday 20th April 2007
Friday had come around again, and I realised as I was getting ready in the morning that a week ago at the same time I was on the BMI flight to Edinburgh. Strange how different things can be, just seven days later. Work itself has been busy but I am enjoying all the challenges as […]
