A week in a paragraph

Monday, May 31st, 2004

This week I: bumped into my mate Jay at the station who I haven’t seen for over a year as he moved to Devon and went for a few drinks, made a logo for Rob’s final project, spent far too much money on ink, paper, blank CDs and DVDs, went to a Pagan festival with […]

More Train Hassles

Saturday, May 29th, 2004

So yeah, I got fined £10 today for the sake of a £1.50 extension. I am not a happy bunny.
Dear Sir/Madam,

Selling My Soul to Amazon

Wednesday, May 19th, 2004

McWhat Exactly?

Wednesday, May 19th, 2004

Has anyone else seen the new advert for McDonalds Chicken McNuggets? The voiceover says Chicken McNuggets are now made with premium chicken breast or words to that effect. Is it just me that wonders what they used to be made out of now they’re actually made out of chicken?

Public Transport Bound

Saturday, May 8th, 2004

So my parents have decided to buy a new car, which is a good thing. Unfortunately they’re replacing the K reg 1.4 Escort (The Fanfare) I drive with a two year old 1.5 Proton Wira. This means I won’t be insured on their new car so I was hoping to get insured on […]

Over the last 365 days there have been 5 redesigns, one overhaul, 182 diary entries, several lost comments, nearly half a million hits and many hours spent maintaining this space.

Getting the hard sell

Wednesday, May 5th, 2004

I filled out a form on the Honda website the other day requesting some brochures. They arrived this morning and I had a brief flick through them. Later, around lunchtime, I had a phone call from a guy from my local Honda dealership asking me when I would like to arrange a test […]

Great book, Crap Journey

Tuesday, May 4th, 2004
