It was only the other day I was bitching about my teeth and about the availability of dentists generally. On Monday I was up at the local shops and noticed a sign which said that the Broadfield dental practice is re-opening under new management. I just confirmed this by checking the NHS Direct website and […]

Floors
August 29th, 2004 · Comments Off on Floors · Life
Well I finally got round to laying the laminate flooring in the ground floor hallway. What a performance! 3 sets of architraves to cut around… I made a bit of a mess of it, but the overall effect is good. Its only a problem if you look at the edges, but they will get covered […]

Ringtones
August 29th, 2004 · Comments Off on Ringtones · Life, Technology
I was looking at Play.com just now, having a look to see what stuff is new (good deal on the Star Wars DVD box set!) and decided to have a look at their Ringtones section. Maybe its my age, but I still find it hard to get my head around the idea of people paying […]
Bloody weddings
August 29th, 2004 · Comments Off on Bloody weddings · Life
There was a wedding reception at our local community centre today. Very nice for the family concerned I am sure, but not much fun for mine. Our local centre is an independant charity, managed by a cross-section of local people on behalf of the churches who own it. Jayne chairs the committee which manages it […]

Brighton
August 27th, 2004 · Comments Off on Brighton · Work
Here is a perfect example of why I need to stop commuting… I left work early today and caught a Brighton train at Clapham Junction which was exactly one hour earlier than one I caught earlier in the week. (I was meeting J at Three Bridges station so didn’t need the Bognor/Chichester/Horsham trains which go […]
The Grimleyplex…

I found this web site today… The chap seems to have acquired some nice hardware, but obviously it didn’t leave enough cash over to have much to watch on it!
New job?
August 25th, 2004 · Comments Off on New job? · Work
Well, I didn’t get that job… The feedback was that they liked me, but didn’t think I had enough experience managing customers. I think they are wrong, but its probably my fault for not getting across the idea that 4 years as a local councillor meant dealing with my several thousand ‘customers’ every day. Ah […]
Potato Men
August 25th, 2004 · Comments Off on Potato Men · Life
We just watched a film called Sex Lives of the Potato Men which sounds like it should be a bad SF movie from the title. Actually its a comedy which has opinion divided. When it came out there was a lot of comment about how its just smut, and aiming at the lowest common denominator. […]

Anniversary Pt 2
August 24th, 2004 · Comments Off on Anniversary Pt 2 · Life
Although our wedding anniversary was last Friday, Jayne wanted to celebrate today. Basically, she wanted to treat me to a dinner and today was her payday. We went out to TGI Fridays in Crawley: maybe not the most intimate and romantic place in town, but we both like the food. Mind you I was a […]
No news is good news?
August 23rd, 2004 · Comments Off on No news is good news? · Life, Work
Maybe. Maybe not. Still heard nothing about that job interview last week. But on the plus side, I managed to lay a bit of flooring tonight. Only the little bit at the bottom of the stairs to the living room, but its a start. Now I can see how it is all done I can […]
