I don’t know whats worse. This incident or the fact it was the best kick on show at Pittodrie yesterday.
Month: August 2003
House Viewings
The next two days will see us viewing a couple of houses and me meeting with banks to sort out just how much I can borrow. All very exciting, but also very scary at the same time. It looks like we need to make quick decisions after our viewings on whether to stay interested (i.e. second viewing and ultimately a survey) or move on to other properties.
I can’t believe how fast the market moves. Another house is our street was on the market for only one week before it sold. The tenement next to us – there was a three bed roomed flat sold for �165k in June. Unreal.
The realisation of just how quick the market moves also highlights another problem – we have tons to do before we could move out. I feel so unprepared.
Kirriemuir Broadband
Congrats to Richard for finally getting enough registrations to reach the broadband trigger point. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the installation date is announced.
Sad as it may seem, but an area having broadband is a pre-requisite for the new house.
Google Calculator
Google has an integrated calculator. And I used to think it was bad when folk at work using Excel reached for a calculator to do sums – now there a search engine that calculates! Does convertions as well – how hot was it last week?
The Hutton Inquiry
The inquiry has its own website. For those interested all the material from the inquiry is online so that we can make our own informed opinion for a change. I don’t know if other inquiries are as open but it seems refreshing if all rather distasteful and tragically avoidable.
Health & Safety
Back from hols and already looking forward to returning to work next week. Not. Done a bit of digging and for those in hot offices the following makes for interesting reading with regards max temps allowable in offices. Nothing set in stone by law, but a maximum of 24C is recommended.
Record Breaker
I see the hottest temp recorded has now been set. Usually I would be in Glasgow and while hot it wouldn’t be scorchio. However I’m in Peterborough and it was melt weather at the weekend but thankfully now its slightly cooler – only 30C.
Weekend has been really good – caught up with friends in Scunthorpe and during a long night (what do u mean the suns up?) we’ve agreed to go to Australia and strangely the Edinburgh Festival next year (more likely the Fringe though). Weegie in culture shock. Hope it happens specially the trip to Oz.
Hot In Here
Its 9AM, the suns blazing down outside and its 26C in work already. Tempers are frayed and the day feels long and I’ve only been here an hour. I wonder if there’s any regulations about a workplace being too hot. The fans are on but they only help to push the warm air around – so thats how a fan assisted oven works!
Got a Camera Phone
Then MobileAsses is surely the site you should be posting to. Pretty sad but at least folk will now have a good reason to own a camera phone.
Robbie Williams
Watched his Knebworth concert on 4 last night. Enjoyable, but can’t help feeling his star isn’t shining as brightly as it was 2-3 years ago. Noticed it when he played some of his ‘classics’ which were far stronger than his latest album.
And why the fuss that some couldn’t see the stage – what do you expect with over 100,000 each night? Muppets.
