July 30, 2003

Stuck up in Glasgow tonight – was supposed to be going out with Mike in Chester, but due to the sheer lack of organisation in my company, things are never as they are planned. Went out for dinner with my parents, then got to see Mac & Dannii & drank too much coffee, so couldn’t [...]

July 29, 2003

It’s nice to be back in Middlesbrough again, and there’s actually a little bit of 3 coverage so I can play with my phone & kill it’s battery. Might be catching up with Mac tonight, and the missus is working again.

July 26, 2003

Got back from Bristol to my 3 phone – bit on the big side, and there’s no 3G coverage up in the north of Lincoln. But it was free, so we’ll see how it goes. Got to go to Glasgow next week for a day, so will be calling into Middlesbrough for a night or [...]

Didn’t last long, the missus is now out of a job again after only 9 days work. Turns out that 16-year old students are even cheaper than she is (!). Off out for some bubbles with the lads in Bristol for the next few nights, which should be fun

Went to see Hulk last night – Marvel’s previous films Spiderman & Daredevil were quite decent – shame this was a bit boring! OK the fight scenes were quite good, but it just took so long to get going.

Bit of a blinder of a Bristish Grand Prix, lots of overtaking, excitement & mad people running onto the track! Got to go back to Bristol towards the end of the week

The guys at Apple came through – got back, and there was a new mains charger waiting for me. Only problem was there were no UK instructions for returning it, only USA/Canada & Swiss/French. In the end I just called TNT, and they’ll be around tomorrow.

July 17, 2003

While driving down to Leciester today, noticed that they’ve put 2 pairs of SPECS gantries on the A46 just after the lights near Cotgrave. No cameras yet, but you have been warned! My sister is coming to visit on Sunday with Harvey & Jonathan, and if the weather improves, we’ll probably end up gardening (again) [...]

July 14, 2003

Sodding Apple iBook mains charger failed yesterday, and PCWorld can do jack about it – called Apple this morning, and they’re sending a new one out, but it could be 7-28 days! How can I survive without my baby laptop? Missus graduation went well, although I only just made it back in time. Took the [...]

July 10, 2003

I can’t believe how hot it is tonight – spent all week in the rain of Glasgow to come back to sticky, clammy weather. Missus is graduating tomorrow, and we’re also hoping to get the new radiator in the bathroom. Haven’t done plumbing before, so we might end up flooding the place….
