sanity girl - sadly not, I may have managed to stay awake otherwise :)


It was likely finance-related, guaranteed to send me to zzzzzz - or make me laugh if we're playing management-buzzword bingo.

This picture from yesterday's Standard in a piece about motorbike track days. He's going to have to go a lot faster, or indeed just move and take his bike off the stand, if he wants to get his knee down...

"Controversial BrewDog has previously been criticised for 32% and 41% strength beers."

Holy cr*p, changes the whole 'I'll just pop in for one pint' a bit....hmmmmm


Those bottles are so wrong, but so funny.

It's not a good week for animals. Try this.

I find it rather shocking an not what you expect from the Torygraph. This is my favourite bit.


A spokesman for English Heritage said: "This was a very rare incident".


I don't want to be too controversial here, but I'm thinking the dog was asking for it. What do you think?

    • Hi Claire! Is Immy microchipped? Our team carry scanners & will be on the lookout for her on our daily travels. I hope you are reunited with her soon.
    • Hi Annalisa,  I adopted few dogs from AARR Rescue - All Animals Rescue and Rehome.  It is a very small rescue run by fantastic woman Sarah.  Their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/allanimalsrescueandrehome/?locale=en_GB I highly recommend making an enquiry with them. 
    • Virgin media seems to be down or is it just us? Wondering if due to high local demand due to park events? 
    • I once had some very grumpy buyers, I'd moved heaven and earth and compromised a little on price, was tempted just to tell them where to go and put it back on the market - I wanted to get rid but could hang on longer.  I bit my lip, and they sent me a very stroppy email which I deleted without reading. Ideally we'd get on with our buyers and sellers, always try to meet them, and you can often sort out issues directly.  Estate agents tend to not like you have the other parties details. I've generally had more problems with the ones I've not met. It can be stressful for both sides.  You often get an inkling whey you know that they may be awkward, and that includes going the other way with a last second increase in price when markets are moving upwards.  Again, bad karma!
