HA! I have no lavish lifestyle

I thought of one place where money will be saved over the next year, if you buy any services were prices are quoted without VAT (IE I might get my heating looked at) then that could be a bill of hundreds or even thousands of pounds that I will be sav...

A new dawn, a new hope, a new America, etc

A shift away from Conservatism, it's Obama what won it. The number of seats makes it look like a proper drubbing, Barack Obama winning two for each one that John McCain did, and it wasn't close like George W Bush's controversial win, but it looked li...

Our freezer broke down today, all the haircut money I'd saved will have to go towards that.The inside back of the freezer has bulged out (not with frost, I don't know what with) and it's forced the drawers out so they pushed the door open and it thaw...

Zoo Thousand and Hate on the BBC

Here. Main things to be said are:* The organisers miscalculated cash flow* They had to cancel acts* Port Lympne stepped in, writing out a check for Ash there and then to ensure they'd go on stageGood on Port Lympne! I can't believe the same organiser...

Zoo thousand and HATE!

The Zoo Thousand Port Lymne festival sounds like the festival was awful, no-one really has a good word to say about it at work. At least two of the headliners did not play (but as the headliners were Athlete and Dizzee Rascal) that's not necessarily...

Are you sure Hazel didn't register in both your names?

I wouldn't think the BBC would spam out invitations for something like this. We both registered (in our own names) though I didn't go for the competition aspect of it, so I won't get some researcher from Radio One seeing if I'm fun enough (and young ...
