I want to go to...Romania!!

I've just been on their tourism site, where was impressed by the beautiful Moldovian landscapes and cheap beer (I hope). There appears to be a lot to see, not just hanging about in Bucharest. Castles, Fortresses, The Black Sea, The Danube, stunning national parks and several world heritage sites are all waiting to be found.
So there's a lot to do and some distance to travel; looks like a job for car hire. Romania here I come!

Making the move...

I've been in my current place for about a year now and I think it's time I got a place of my own. However, thanks to the times we live in, I can't afford it and will probably have to spend at least another year in my hole. Great.

All I want is a small flat in an area where cars aren't thrown on bonfires. I'd love to pack up, phone the van rental company and throw it all in the back of a transit. Then drive off to a home of my own. I should be so lucky.

Conference season

Well, the conference season has wound to a close with probably only the Monster raving looney party yet to proclaim their right to rule to the nation. It's perhaps indicative of the times we live in when one of M&S's grey polka-dot dresses became on of the main focuses of the Tory party conference. Forget the national debt, immigration, crime and other major issues, fashion takes centre stage, darling.

The fact that Mrs Cameron chose to wear that dress, means that the Tories are looking to be seen to back British trade and commerce in a subtle way.

Scented bliss

Are you in trouble with your wife? Afraid that she's going to find out about the train set you installed in the loft? Buy her some flowers and smile sincerely. Tell her she's the one for you, her bum doesn't look big what she's wearing and...duck!

Where can I?

Where can I get a van? Is there a vans for sale site?

Fixed (No, not the race)!

Well, I got it sorted. No more using my mates mobile broadband as I've got mine fixed. Now I can read other peoples daft opinions on everything from the proper use of English ("ur great, m8"), to some GMTV. But somehow, I don't think Tim Berners-Lee envisioned the zoo of morons and con-artists that the internet has become...
