The day after I gave up with PayPal, the website I wanted to donate to in the first place started taking credit cards. So it all worked out in the end… Still with money, I had a meeting today at the Vicarage in Southgate to discuss the finances of the Broadfield community centre, and work […]

Not a good day….
September 20th, 2004 · Comments Off on Not a good day…. · Work
I think my faltering relationship with PayPal is at an end. I tried to set up an account with them, which immediately got “limited”. They said that an unauthorised use of a credit card associated with it was reported. Hm. The bank mentioned nothing. So I had to supply more information and proof of identity […]

Victory for Europe
September 19th, 2004 · Comments Off on Victory for Europe · Life, Politics
So. Europe won the Ryder cup. I am not a big fan of golf. I got a set of clubs for Christmas several years ago and haven’t used them yet except to take a couple off to the pitch & Putt course. But its good to see Europe competing as a team. Because of the […]
Its T day
September 18th, 2004 · Comments Off on Its T day · Life
Well the new television arrived today. Unfortunately it arrived at about half-past noon and the delivery men had just struggled to get it downstairs to the living room when Mother turned up. Having her and Auntie Joan, plus J and the three kids all in the living room made it impossible to start putting the […]
Wind-ups

Only one day before the new TV arrives, and I had a phone call this evening. It was someone from Comet. As soon as they said that I wondered whether it was to confirm the delivery time or to tell me about a delay, but it was neither: it was customer services doing a survey. […]
Surround
September 16th, 2004 · Comments Off on Surround · Music, Technology
Its all very well having a surround amp and speakers and then getting a machine which can play DVD-A and SACD – and I am really appreciating listening to an album in 5.1 instead of 2.0 stereo – but its a bit frustrating only having two albums to play, or 3 if you count the […]
Fox Hunting
September 15th, 2004 · Comments Off on Fox Hunting · Politics
Another day where all the excitement happens near our office without us knowing about it. During our post-lunch stroll today we went by County Hall and then along to the London Eye. We could hear the crowd noises from across the river and the hunting horns, we noticed the police vans on Westminster Bridge, and […]
Television
September 14th, 2004 · Comments Off on Television · Work
No – not my new TV which arrives in 4 days (but who’s counting?). I was watching the news on TV tonight and there were two reports from spots within 100 yards of my office. The first was Tony Blair on the roof of the building right behind ours – a company which does solar […]
In church
September 14th, 2004 · Comments Off on In church · Life
I went to church this evening. Now this might be normal for many people, but its a bit of a departure for me. The cause of this interruption to my normal heathen life was the licensing of a new local vicar. Within the church this is a big deal, and it must be a very […]

More football
September 13th, 2004 · Comments Off on More football · Life
I’ve just been looking at Football365.com to check tonight’s results. Really just to see if Charlton managed to get at least a point and put Man Utd in the 2nd half of the league table… which they did. While there I was having a look at the statistics for Crawley Town. Apparently our unbeaten home […]
