All assignments, fieldwork etc for this year are now complete!
I can’t believe it all finished. Just got the small matter of a baby to think about now!
According to the Evening Star, a local estate agent has been fined £7,500 (plus £3,275 costs) for putting up fake ‘Sold’ signs.
A few years ago I was doing some work connected to a new estate agent and suggested that they put up a few sold signs in friends gardens to get their company name know. At the time it seemed a like a legitimate marketing strategy, but on reflection it is probably good that they did not listen to me after all.
I just heard sirens outside, and looked out to see a Fiesta come tearing down my road, only just making it round the corner outside my house, closely followed by the Police. They disapeared out of sight but the sirens were still close by. The force helicopter is flying around now so I’m guessing they’ve jumped out somewhere. Having lost a Fiesta to joy riders a few years back I can’t help rooting for the police.
However I am slightly worried that watching too many episodes of “Road Wars”, and “Police, Stop, Camera, Action, Woah, He’s Crashed, He’s Crashed” might have made me slightly to excited about seeing a car chase come past my house.
I just had a check of the weather forecast, and you can see it’s a bank holiday weekend…
I often check the Passive Aggressive Notes blog when I have nothing something better to do, and one of the posts this week features a note attached to a microwave which reads…
‘Please clear an unsed time of the microwave when you have finished. some of us have OCD and leftover time drives us crazy. -Thanks’
I have to admit this mad me laugh, but perhaps more in agreement with the writer, than laughing at them! (Read the original post: crazy is right)
“A golden eagle who was blinded after flying into an electricity pylon has had her vision partially restored by a ground-breaking operation”
BBC NEWS | Scotland | Glasgow, Lanarkshire and West | Eagle eye restored by operation
If it flew into a pylon, I’m not convinced it’s eye sight was that great to start with!
The Death of Email
12 August 2008 in Comment | Tags: email, facebook, friends | by Neil | Leave a comment
In the last three weeks I have received only 3 personal emails, one of which I asked some to send. That’s not to say that I received no emails, I have tons of adverts, newsletters, Uni emails, and messages sent to groups and work emails. But emails sent just to us from a friend or family member there is only 3. Is this because facebook has replaced conventional email as the way people send messages to one another?
