A letter of complaint

Reading time: 3 mins I’ll probably re-visit this post later, but I’ll post it as is for the moment. I’ve been an Orange customer, on and off for over ten years (the longest I spent away from them was for one year). I’ve always been happy with the tariffs and offers, less so with the reception but it’s never […]

Not from Sveeden

Reading time: 3 mins Last night, which kinda snuck up on me, saw me and a few thousand others bopping along to all those wonderful old Abba hits. Yes that’s right. Abba. Or, more accurately, the tribute band Björn Again were in town. I’ve seen them once before, almost 15 years ago now, when they played a gig at […]

Ho ho … meh

Reading time: 2 mins This week has flown in (…what an odd phrase that is. From where, pray tell, has the week arrived and couldn’t it have walked or cycled or something?), I can barely believe that it’s Thursday today and tomorrow heralds the auspicious event that is our company night out. The US-based staff have been flown in, […]

Help me get drunk

Ohh and for the […]
