The Reliance on Technology and the Nice T-Mobile Staff
Yesterday, about 4.00pm, I went to make a phone call on my super dooper Blackberry Bold phone/computer gadget when suddenly, for no apparent reason, the screen turned white with a little black message in the middle that was only possible to see with a magnifying glass.The message read 5527 Error. Marvellous, absolutely spiffing stuff, how stupid I am to have got to the the point that I now rely on such gadgets to ...
A day in the Big Smoke
George, Harry and I went for a day in London yesterday, something I love to do every couple of months, the hustle and bustle, street performers, varying bars and restaurants and free museums make London a great and not necessarily expensive day out.

I know that the general quality of many peoples daily lives is judged upon whether I have written an hilarious blog to get them through the humdrum of the normal working day, so please accept my apologies for a bit of blog starvation, I had a rather draining week last week that left me lacking inspiration to find the energy to tap on the old keyboard.
