This evening I had my usual free-ranging type of conversation with a cab driver whose cab I happened to be in the back of, and he mentioned his surprise that more people in London don’t just start talking to each other if there’s nothing better to do. This struck me as odd, and I pressed…
Seems I misunderestimated the massive and wideranging talents of the Royal Mail. Got a card through the door to say “we tried to deliver a parcel but it wouldn’t fit through your letter box – come & get it!”, so I did. Well, I nearly did. I went to the postal depot and handed over…
I know that sitting around wishing for vast amounts of cash to appear in one’s bank account is a fairly silly thing to be doing, however wouldn’t it be nice to be able to convince once of these guys to hand over 0.1% of their take-home pay? The chief prompter of this vein of thought…
Being a reasonably ethical chap I suppose I am continually flabbergasted at some of the activities my fellow human beings will undertake in order to get ahead in life.

This morning whilst preparing to go to work (obviously, about 30 minutes later than I should have been) there was a knock at the door. I bounded up the stairs, muttering swearwords about who would be disturbing my preparations, and was greeted upon opening the door by none other than a Royal Mail delivery man. …
Yesterday was the UK release of the new 3G iPhone. This, on the O2 website: Now the thing is, for quite a while now O2 have been taking pre-registrations of interest from people wanting an iPhone. I understand there’s all kinds of issues that could arise from availability of stock from Apple, and so on,…
