UK Earthquake

February 26th, 2008 · No Comments

I guess working late on the internet does throw up some interesting stuff now and then, we just had an earthquake and as I wasn’t in bed asleep I got to experience the whole 7-8 seconds of the whole house being shaken!

To start off with I thought it must be a big truck driving by or something, but as everything in my office shook and I saw the poor cat shoot by the door and head downstairs it dawned on me that it was one of our rare earth quakes..

So I grabbed my glass of wine and went to see what was being said about it on the news, I shouldn’t have rushed, it was over 20 minutes (and one glass of wine) later before anyting was mentioned, but apparently it was fairly big as it was felt over a large part of the country.

Flat Hunting

February 26th, 2008 · No Comments

well it looks like after four years of living on the outskirts of Cheltenham I’m finally going to live a bit closer in to town and not have to pay £7 each way for a taxi whenever I want to go for a beer!

I’ve started hunting for a new flat/house to live in and one of the main criteria is that it HAS to be within walking distance of a good pub, or three..

Before I moved out of Hay-on-Wye I always said that I’d never live anywhere that wasn’t within a short walk of a pub, but when I got married for the second time and moved to Cheltenham I ended up doing exactly that.

13 lucky or unlucky?

February 13th, 2008 · 2 Comments

13, unlucky for some, or so they say..

Well, I just signed my second divorce petition and returned it to my solicitor today, dated 13th of Feb, on a leap year too, another date that will be easy for me to remember.

Isn’t it strange how numbers are sometimes.

I suspect it’s because the Universe knows that I’m just plain crap at remembering dates, so it’s gone out of the way to try and make things easy for me..

My birthdate is 6/9/69

My wedding anniversay with my first wife (Rach) was the 16th of september, easy to remember as it’s 10 days after my birthday, and then Rach’s birthday is on the 18th, just two days later, even I couldn’t mess that one up.
