Well I have just completed the first module of the Pimsleur Japanese course (for the first time) which my Mum borrowed from the library. It is made of eight half hour lessons which you are supposed to listen to once everyday until you get about 80% of the answers correct then you continue to […]

I had my interview this morning for Virgin and it went really well. The manager (update: he wasn’t the manager) seemed like a nice guy and it all sounded quite positive. During the interview I managed to look like an idiot in the following ways:
On being asked what my preference was on their […]

I don’t remember if I wrote it in my diary or not but I didn’t get the job at Laing O’Rourke but as I mentioned yesterday I have put in CVs to a few shops. Today I got a call from Virgin inviting me to an interview tomorrow. I really hope I get […]

Rob, Chris and I went to Tone’s on Saturday to take some pictures of and have a look at his kit car. He’s building a Luego Velocity and it’s looking pretty good. I had been saying to him before that he’ll have to be really careful to avoid racking up points for speeding […]

I’ve just finished watching the stream of the keynote from Apple Expo in Paris. Tiger (the new OS) looks like it’s going to be pretty impressive, the new search tool spotlight looks good but I’m quite anal with my filing so I normally know where my files are. The thing that really appealed […]
