We were literally the last table to eat. Had to sort the wine order out. Manager couldn't read his e-mail properly. Reminds me, I should pay at some point...
Those Brussel sprouts did work. Maybe I did have a few too many of them.
I've bought a few sets of Premium Bonds recently and was used to receiving a letter from them a few days later, but that was a while ago.
I picked a new letter up from the floor today. Excellent, Christmas really had come, or so I thought. It was just some crummy letter saying they made a mistake in some leaflet recently. Argh.
Have to still go to work tomorrow. Ah well, at least it is the company Christmas party tomorrow night. Bring on the photocopy. I say photocopier, scanning to PDF on a shared volume doesn't seem to have the same risqué sound about it.
It was watching the episode of Gavin and Stacey, when Smithy and Nessa were getting all hot and steamy over a KFC, that had me gagging for a KFC all night and this morning.
Emergency over, Hot Rod box in hand.
Still waiting for any real benefit from the interest rates to kick in. Now got a letter saying the cut will take effect from Jan 31st, which effectively means middle of Feb for me. Too late for a little Xmas pressie then.
Guess at which point on the graph below we bought our house.
Sod's law, June 07.
Now the Americans get 0% interest rates!
The web site has introduced another new client to Ocean City restaurant in Bournemouth.
"Hi Gordon and Angela, thanks to your blog page and write up regarding the dim sum in Bournemouth (Ocean City ), my wife and I and two friends went there on Sunday (14th Dec 2008) and had one of the better Dim Sum's we have had for a long while and excellent service.
We live in Southampton and have been Dim Sum lovers since the early 70's when we were the only English people on a sunday at the Golden Palace Rest in Southampton, or London's Chinatown. We regularly eat at the Pearl Harbour in Southampton , but the decor is well overdue (good food though) and more recently the Dragon Palace (for Dim Sum), but their prices have increased too much (they add a service charge regardless, plus a 10% charge on all bills) and they only take cash! The service however, is not that good now anyway, so our new local is now Ocean City Bournemouth, thanks again guys and we will hopefully see you there sometime.
Regards, Nigel and Terry Summerton."
