I remember the day NTL arrived at our house. I was terribly excited. I don’t remember the exact year (and neither does my Mother, but that’s not totally relevant) it wasn’t long after Cable was introduced to NI that we got it. Of course at the time they were called CableTel, only becoming NTL in [...]

After six days without a functioning computer and having to enjoy a few home comforts as I stayed at my parents’ house in order to get work done on my Dad’s PC, I finally have my own back again. Thankfully we have lots of spare parts from all the computers and upgrades my Dad and [...]

Over the last few days my new shoes have started making a squelching/farting sound when I walk. Specifically, on the heel of my right shoe. My right foot is definitely bigger than the left and this is noticeable in such perfect fitting converse. But this squelching is irritating, almost to the point of embarrassing. It [...]

Why is it that when my bank calls me they insist that I attempt my ‘password’ at least twice. I don’t generally forget passwords, the sort that I type, but those crap ones that have to be spoken over the phone I always forget. I put it down to the fact that it will always [...]

Though it just seems like people are making blogs and filling them with other peoples posts. No advertising [...]

Where is my camera? OK, I’m not actually expecting a camera at this point, I am expecting the results of the inspection of my very-obviously-broken camera. They said it could take up to fifteen days. Today is the fifteenth day and nothing. They better have a damn good explanation. I have it all planned out: [...]

This evening I got a ‘nice’ reminder from my house ‘mate’ in the form a text message: Can I remind u that its ur turn to clean the house this week ie before sunday. I don’t appreciate these reminders much…

I just noticed that my last 4 entries have fit nicely into the ‘annoyances’ category. This is not supposed to be a blog of me complaining about all things small and only significant to me. No no no. For the next week I will only post happy thoughts :)

I do not like using my mobile phone to make calls, not when I get free txts at least. In fact, let me rephrase that – I do like making calls rather than sending txts, the reason I don’t most of the time is often due to the high cost of mobile calls. I have [...]
