Complaint response

Posted on January 31, 2002 by Gary

A few more perfect scores for the Trivia Quiz to go into the hat (phew!) including Lucia. Disappointing number of entries. Maybe we’ll get more tomorrow. I worked back again – accruing plenty of cash but not much sleep. I … Continue reading →

Chelsea 2 – 0 Leeds

Posted on January 30, 2002 by Gary

Dad received the webcam I bought him. He didn’t have it yesterday; did have it today. Given it was his birthday, that’s perfect. In this month’s Current Archaeology (which also arrived today) is a notice re a dig at Fishbourne … Continue reading →

1-2-1

Posted on January 29, 2002 by Gary

The bus ran much better today. I guess all of the trips yesterday were adequate practice for today. Everything ran a lot smoother. Pity it’s not like that normally. Had my 1-2-1. Chris seems to see me as someone who … Continue reading →

Strike action

Posted on January 28, 2002 by Gary

Up at 4:30am. Bus from Farnham to Aldershot. The driver didn’t know where he was going (obviously needs rails to guide him) so he had people directing him. At least the train waited…sort of. Anyway, it was late getting into … Continue reading →

Maps and postcards

Posted on January 27, 2002 by Gary

Wet, misty and miserable. Decided to go out anyway. We went to an antique and postcard fair at Hindhead, which was excellent. Lots of lovely stuff we didn’t buy. We were being good. I did buy a map and Mirinda … Continue reading →

Chelsea 1 – 1 West Ham

Posted on January 26, 2002 by Gary

Storm and tempest! Off to work. Race to Farnham only to find I’m half an hour early because of engineering work. Bastards! Took forever to get to Woking (via Guildford) but finally did (9:30). Worked till 5pm. Mirinda picked me … Continue reading →

Eating late

Posted on January 25, 2002 by Gary

Total waste of a day. No service at work for anyone. Apparently it was originally set up with the wrong set of IP addresses and they now need to be changed. I bought £120 worth of gear for Lapland, including … Continue reading →

Overtime

Posted on January 24, 2002 by Gary

Up early to do overtime, then work late as well – an extra four hours. Amazingly, Nicole finds other ‘more interesting’ things to do (organising her trip to Amsterdam, gossiping on the phone, etc). Stevie still has no connection that … Continue reading →

Chelsea 1 – 5 Spurs

Posted on January 23, 2002 by Gary

I received my Spode bowls (E-Bay again) today. Two of them. They are perfect, and beautiful with it. Chris asked for overtime ‘pledges’ today so more early mornings and late nights. And Saturday. Beat Stevie at pool again. I won … Continue reading →

Truth about Terry

Posted on January 22, 2002 by Gary

I wrote an excellent letter to the bus company about yesterday, with just the right amount of sarcasm. A big hit with Stevie and Nicole and a great bit of anger management for me. Nicole took Chris off and told … Continue reading →
