I woke up this morning, and slowly came to the realisation that I was stuck in the middle of the week. Longing for the football season to start. The working week was busy, and the worse was yet to come. Yet I knew with a smile, I could see myself through. Getting into the car this morning, with yet another busy day in the office, just seven miles down the road in prospect. Completely by accident, I switched on the radio. You will know that in recent months, I have completely stopped listening to the radio in the car. These days, I tend to listen to some KISS at the weekends, but even then it is only for a fleeting moment, before I pop on a CD. The radio had been on Star 106 on Sunday evening and as I had listened to CDs since then, the radio had not been changed. The final verse of ‘Take On Me’ was playing. The song made me think of the concert in December and I wondered when I would be receiving my tickets. Getting into work, I have a routine (as I do with everything). Coming around to checking my Yahoo! e-mail account, I received e-mail confirmation that my tickets would be dispatched this week. Should receive them by Friday.

As if that was not enough good news, my friend from University, Paul came online. He was fishing for compliments. It was his birthday, so I did the decent thing and wished him many happy returns. Then, he hit me with it. He had finally returned to his blog, after almost exactly a two year break. Regular readers of my blog, will be well aware of two things. Firstly that even though Paul has been absent from the blogsophere for such a significant amount of time, I have on the odd occasion linked to his blog, hosted over at Blogger. Secondly, I have a strong anti-amateur blog policy, during office hours. The only blogs I visit at work are the various blogs by the Guardian (namely, News, Online and Observer). Therefore I had to ask my friend Nav, to check that an update had actually been made and the quality of the entry. For a full read, I would have to wait until I returned home at 6.30pm this evening. Nav promised me that I would not be disappointed, and as to not spoil the surprise, revealed very little, apart from the fact that not only all the issues raised were close to my heart but they also had been missed from the debate so far. Indeed, when I came through the door, this evening, I smiled knowingly that I would be checking Paul’s blog, but for a change, it would have been updated. Enough from me, go judge for yourself and await his next entry. Mark my words, this could well be the greatest come back of all time. (Well at least until Michael comes back for his Invincible tour and new material.)

Firstly a quote from my dearest friend and current expert Sippy: “I didn’t know UK2Net were a bunch of incompetent fools!” If that is the headline, this is the story. You will know that I am currently in the process of transferring my domain from UK2 Net to 123-REG. This has been plagued with constant problems, considering I placed this request on Wednesday 3rd August, it still has not been completed. (Yes, www.t-e-g.co.uk is still down). If only someone had told me before, that there are several reasons why not to use this shoddy excuse for a domain host. If you read that article you under the shady operations of the man at the top (who has registered his company three times under three separate names). Hopefully the lawyers and police are not too far behind him! Not sure how long it will take for my site to come back, so please bear with me while the technical and rather tedious administrative are completed.
