What is wrong with Barclays? I have “online banking” with them. All you can do is see your account details from the previous day and organise bank transfers. Today I wanted to discuss my overdraft so I had to ring their Telephone Banking line. I got through, I gave the lady […]

I didn’t actually see the news on Sunday and I only heard about the Train crash in Berkshire when my parents mentioned it. At the time I felt sorry for those killed and injured but I put it down to the incompetence of the railways. As more news has come to light and […]

Every now and then I see something and I think, “Wow! That would be really cool/helpful/handy”. The thing is I know it won’t, I know it’s going to disappoint me but I still buy it (perhaps I like being disappointed?!). At the end of the day if you want to be an early […]

Why do bands allow other “Artists” to cover their songs? Yesterday while I was in the pub with Ji-Ho I had to endure a disgraceful cover of ‘Fell in love with a Girl’ by The White Stripes, done by Joss Stone and renamed ‘Fell in love with a boy’. Then this morning while […]

On the way home from work today I had a scary experience on the train. As
we were pulling out of Greenwich some idiots started throwing fireworks at the
