To Boldy Misstep

That's an hour and a half of my life I'll never see again. 

If you're a Trekkie (like me) but you haven't seen this yet, take immediate evasive action. It really is trash and has little to commend it. This is damaging to the franchise. In fact it's quite likely this is so poor, any future Star Trek projects may be placed on indefinite hold.

Budget Day

 "Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them" - Margaret Thatcher, 1976.

It's highly likely today the current Chancellor and her government colleagues will prove Mrs Thatcher 100% right.

Saw Tow

It had to happen eventually: the toe nail that I damaged a few weeks back has finally detached itself. Feels quite sore now.

Two Dollar Poppy

Remembrance day may have been a couple of weeks ago but I'm still chuffed to have received this lovely Aussie $2 coin issued by the RAM. Overseas delivery times can be a bit hit and miss but nevertheless I really appreciate the efforts by Max Stern & Co, who did their level best for me. 

Isn't this coloured coin gorgeous?

Bottom Of The Class

Begin rant. 

Last Sunday evening I put some important documents in the Post, with a Royal Mail First Class stamp on the envelope, going to High Wycombe. Only 45 minutes away. The Postie would have collected it Monday morning, taken it to the sorting office for processing before delivery on Tuesday morning. That's why a First Class stamp is so expensive. Imagine my frustration when it was finally delivered late Thursday afternoon. Not good enough, this caused the recipient a high degree of stress.

Rant over.

Sometimes I think I could watch this for hours, but then why just think about it LOL?



No Sh--

That's that rather undignified experience over for another two years* LOL.

First

This morning has seen the first snow of winter, in this corner of the United Kingdom. How exciting! It's not actually cold enough to hang around, but nevertheless...
