And now, the end is near

Reading time: < 1 min 2004. Not a bad year, not a great year, but probably better than average. 2005 is creeping over the horizon (depending where you are reading this it may already be 2005) and I’m already looking forward. What will the coming year hold for us? What do I resolve to do this year? Well I don’t […]

Evil Empire

Reading time: 2 mins I’m a happy Telewest customer. They supply a good, reliable cheap phone service (my in-laws live in Spain now, so 2p a minute isn’t to be sneezed at), a reliable broadband service which isn’t the cheapest around but isn’t too far off the mark and all the TV channels we (don’t really) need.

HO HO HO

Reading time: < 1 min Right, I’m signing off for a couple of days. I don’t trust myself to post whilst full of turkey and copious amounts of alcohol.
