A Big Thank You To Homebase

Posted on November 16, 2009

Such is modern technology that Homebase must have taken the trouble to Google my name and view my earlier blog about being Mr Forgetful, and decided that it was best to ring me last night with an automated message to tell me that they were delivering to me today between 11am and 1pm. In fact they are so efficient they rang me no fewer than 9 times last night with the same message. They also sent me two text messages just to make certain.A big ...

Go Slow On Blogs

Posted on November 3, 2009

Restricted internet access is slowing up blogs temporarily whilst I am in the process of moving. I have a T-Mobile thing called a toggle or something like that, for just £12.00 a month (on a contract I inadvertantly signed for a year) you can get cut off the internet at your convenience every five minutes, and when it does work you have the download speed equivalent to a disabled tortoise, go get one folks they are fab!!Anyway, I have last ...
