Oh, I so DREAD having to contact customer service for anything... It's ALWAYS an ordeal!

Going to hell in a hand cart
I've had it up to the back teeth with this so called customer service led society. Regular readers will know the grief I had with Vodafone a couple of months ago with letters ignored, telephone dealings that just went round in circles. Then the most recent being with British Gas who are trying t...

Looks Russian to me.... Sounds like our weather is comparatively cold today (I saw your tweet)

Found this out just in time
Outside, it's blowing a snow storm at the mo. I found out my fur hat someone got me from Belarus some years ago. He said "They'm dirt cheap, about twenty quid". When he converted the price back it cost almost seventy ! I think I've worn it once. I shall be employing it during this cold snap ...
Doh!

Guess what he had for Christmas
He's been waiting for a frosty morning to go out and play with his new ice scraper.
Nice shots

Saturday surprise
When I got up to go down town, it was still snowing and was I surprised to see it as there was no mention of it in the forecast. There was a text on my phone from Mr. Chalk asking if I was going to see Bob today (I'm not). He was in shock when I sent him an MMS with a pic similar to this, ...
I often wonder why Angela Lansbury hasn't been made a Dame? Is there some political back story to that??

Sir Jean Luc Picard
So, Patrick Stewart receives a knighthood in the Queen's New Years honours. We have a lot of very fine actors and actressses in the UK and I'm not suggesting Mr. Stewart isn't one of them. I do find it a little irritating how dismissive he became of the role which made him a household name an...
Perfect!

Two thumbs up + 1 plunger
So earlier I reported I'd received a belated Christmas present off my brother and Anita which I couldn't tell of until I'd photographed it. Sam's very impressed. And yes, it does talk either via a button which scrolls through phrases like the radio controlled Daleks, but there is a microphon...
Some Twitter pix are fun.... Ashton Kutcher posts some fun things... So does Demi Moore...

Taken about an hour ago, The Guv, Shaz and Alex get together at the beginning of filming the third and final series of the excellent time travel / cop series Ashes to Ashes. And here we have characters Chris, Ray and The Guv ! Taken by Dean Andrews and posted to his Twits on Twitter, Than...
Mega-Curry? Sounds like a great name for a restaurant or at least a Recipe Book! Get busy!

A change of routine
Bob the Butcher day is Saturday right ? Not if you are going to Padstow like what I am ! So, I got up bright and early this morning. Treated myself to a McMuffin in Mickey D's and a cappuccino at 6:45 and got the 7:15 bus to see Bob the Butcher. Bob was in a good mood. I told him about last w...
LOL!

Anal temperatures and baseball bats
Until he reads it here, OBC won't know that when he called me asking my indulgence in a pint this afternoon, that I was actually in bed. I'd only snatched about 4 hours sleep and was up at just after 5 am and because of Saturday's preparations, I was doing my Saturday stuff on Friday. "Yo comin...
Have you thought of writing a curry fact and cookbook? you are quite the connossiuer (Sp?)

Rick Stein, Curry, Padstow, Bob the Butcher - they are all related
I was watching Rick Stein's Far Eastern Oddessy on TV last night and he was in Bangladesh learning about all the different curries. One was jet black, coloured with roasted sesame seeds, didn't look at all appetising. Of course, most of them did and I was salivating at just the thought of them....
Dalek's are so thoughtful!

Dalek saves Human !
In this article from the Sun (so it must be true), we hear the story of how a Dalek (pictured) saved the life of a man, when someone ploughed into the trailer the alien was being transported in. Read the full details here Dalek saves Human

Was it really that good ?
And before you hit me over the head with your tambourine man, I am not asking the question rhetorically. I am watching as I write, the movie Woodstock and it is giving me a warm fuzzy and nostalgic feeling for times past. But I was 12 when Woodstock occured and I'd not really begun to listen to...
There's a Lennon exhibit in Lower Manhattan that I keep meaning to get to... Yoko had a hand in getting it together... If/When I ever get around to seeing it, I'll eventually blog it... So keep an eye on Postcards...

It was forty years ago today...
It was forty years ago today at 11:35 London time when this iconic photo was taken. Rather embarrassingly, the event has been marked by thousands of Beatles fans, pissing off London traffic even more than usual, by holding a mass crossing. Actually, Abbey Road is my favourite Beatles albu...

Piss weak !
I don't really want to get involved with the moving of my broadband and phone service, but this situation with my current supplier of both, the Post Office, is beyond a joke. Today marks three whole weeks since I had fully working e mail. After 2 weeks, I wrote a letter of complaint and told t...
Good for you!

Hungary for hits
Sandals and Socks had over 2 thousand hits (so far) today, after being featured on some site in Hungary. (2711 by 11:45 pm) Must be something of a popular habit over there ?
