Interests and obsessions


Mcvities biscuits

Both wide and varied ranging from sports to gadgets; good food to music; finance to travel; films to innovation.

Obsessions include, but are not limited to, trendy mobile telephones, gadgets and McVities chocolate biscuits, though not necessarily in that order.

Web Design and Live Images


Good ole fashioned printing press

I think this little machine is just great, so much more mess and noise than a boring printer. But do you think it could do my ironing?

Latest images and weather

Put in a shirt and it comes flying out. Answers on a postcard please. This page is also where the live camera images are uploaded when able to do so.

Projects and the to do list

Doing something to the garden is one item on the list of active tasks on Pocket PC, working out how to use the traffic function on the sat nav plus changing job.

Meanwhile the Skye wedding and weekend photos appear here.

Maybe defending a speeding ticket in Australia or parking tkt in New York (they call it a "paaaarking violation"), ex girlfriend Miss C found it hilarious, plus trying to work out why a train journey from Cornwall to Glasgow costs £150 for a standard return and takes 4 hours longer than the car.

Dosh on display, but don't try and print it out on a colour machine!

Work

All work and no play is not the order of the day. This page includes photographs of the office and other bits and pieces. But what is that monopoly money over on the right?


Monthly explosive debate (July 2008)

We could debate the prices of petrol and heating the home.......or take a light hearted look at mobile phone networks and which is 'bestest'.

We have five mainstream mobile telephone networks competing for business; Oranges, Eau2, Voodoo, Cup o'Tea and 3Freezing. I have now defected away but still believe the Orange network is superior for quality. But not for price.

An example of how one can be addicted to these little gadgets, and no I'm not lending you mine.....................!

I am impressed with 3G data facilities although the telephone companies have the decimal point in the wrong place for pricing rates. Gradually this is lowering to 50p per MB, or around £5 per month extra, so I might use the ace little Pocket PC and Nokia's current offering to its full capabilities.

Spotlight in the debating chamber.

Travel Centre
