Around 2 months ago my wife ordered an upgrade to a Nokia 5800 from Vodafone. This should have been a straight-forward every day thing for them, but somehow it ended up taking 2 months and various departments before she finally received the phone.
How hard do you think it’d be to put a TV on a wall? Actually it’s quite straightforward, once you get hold of the bracket…
A look at the Current Cost electricity meter and how to produce pretty graphs from it.
Since we spend quite a bit of time in Falmouth I thought I’d just quickly list some of the places we like to eat. This was originally just going to be a post about our favourite place, but I figured I’d list a few others as well. Our number one place to go is Five Degrees West at the Arwenack …

I get it quite badly which means I spend most of the summer bunged up, itchy, and miserable. Add to that the heat and dryness we get in Kent and I’m not a happy chappy. Thankfully I …
I’ve been playing a game called Entropia Universe (previously Project Entropia) recently, and I’m finding it quite addictive. It’s much like other MMORPGs at a first glance, but it boasts a “Real Cash Economy”.
