To visit the tourist places near to me.

To watch the sunrise and sunset in the same day.
To take more photos.
To buy my own house/flat.

Giving to Charity

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Who amongst you rolled your eyes when you saw that title? It’s OK to admit it. As a child, I was routinely told “charity begins at home”, and therefore never got round to really doing much about ‘giving’. Giving to charity is something rich people do, right? Something you’ll “do next month”. You may want [...]

Alternative Investment Products

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

I’m addicted to Money blogs. One that I read with monotonous regularity is Five Cent Nickel. I know that’s a US site, but a lot of it still holds valid, irrespective of the particular market you apply the principles to. One of their posts on The Lending Club got me started looking for alternatives.
I’d been [...]

My Five Year Plan

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

I was reading another blog today, and it posed the question: Where do you envisage yourself to be in five years time, financially and physically? Such a simple question on the face of it. 14 words. 19 syllables. Infinite possible answers.
I pondered this for a while, then decided it’d be worth putting on ‘paper’ and [...]

I am Not Dead! Honest.

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Wow. It really, really has been a while since I’ve posted. I apologise profusely. All work and no play, etc. But, I’ve got a little while before I’m due at work this evening, so it’s time for a well overdue blog posting.
A lot has happened since I last posted. Summer, I think, came and went. [...]

Argh! Mobile Phones!

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Those who know me well will know all too well how much soul searching I have been doing over the last 2-3 months with regards to mobile/cell phones. It started out with the “I want the new iPhone”, thinking that the one Apple will release will be the all-singing, all-dancing device that everyone was hoping [...]

Credit Crunch? What Credit Crunch?

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

I just got a letter from my bank offering me a £25,000 loan. Pre-approved, guaranteed to be in my account within 60 minutes.
Damn.

IKEA – The Good, and The Not So Good

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

While I was in Cyprus, I got taken for a wander around IKEA. I was an IKEA virgin, so it was a fun experience. I was impressed with the general quality of the items, the vast array of choice, and the sheer brilliance of some of the designs.
When I got back I made a [...]

R.I.P. Andrew Richard Parr

Friday, June 5th, 2009

At 42 Sir, you were far too young. Be at peace.
Your family, friends and colleagues will remember you forever.
A good service with an excellent turnout. Approximately 400 people squeezed into the Church.

Goodbye, Andy.

I love LoveFiLM!

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Ever since we started struggling to watch Sky (see my earlier post on the topic!) I’ve been making best use of my LoveFiLM subscription instead. They have the UK’s largest selection of films, TV shows and series; over 65,000 titles in all! It’ll take me a while to run out of things to watch. But [...]
