Un-broken fence

Details
Created: 03 December 2008

Seems like the skip people came back when I was away and started a repair on the concrete fence post.

Looks like the letter worked and they listened to common sense. Good on them as I thought it might have gone a bit wrong on this one.

Skip collection goes a bit wrong

Skippy, skippy
Just had a company, wont name them just yet as they might stump up with the cash or it may go to my favourite small claims court in Bournemouth, who came to collect their skip.

Talk about being a bit reckless and without care. He narrowly missed the back end of my car as he aggresively reversed slamming into the skip to try and realign it for his collection.

Had he had an ounce of customer service or even common sense he could have knocked on my door and I would have moved the car but also help manually move the skip which he did in the end.

Ah, this was after breaking the neighbour's concrete fence post with his mad reversing.

I couldn't believe it. Had me and the neighbour not been in and watching it, they would have simply got away with it and denied all knowledge.

Hmmm, I doubt the disclaimer they talk about would stand up in court. Anyway, it was not my property they damaged, apart from a gouge in y tarmac, it was the neighbour's property.

Let's see what happens on Monday when the boss is back in. Let's hope they do the right thing.

Done your will yet?

Will
Make a Will
It's all very boring and very grown up unfortunately but me and Angela have just updated our will through Laceys, that were donating their time free as part of a short term promotion for the Julia's House charity.

We found that Laceys were very nice, helpful and quick.

A lot of you (as in our friends) have got married in the last year or two and you need to sort a will out, even if it is just basic. Otherwise your stuff may not go to who you think it should if anything untowards happens.

4-sight reunion
(c) (r) (tm)
Sick of the sight of seeing old faces from the 4-Sight and WAM!NET days. Bad enough having to meet up with the developers and techies the past 10 years and more, seeing them get married and have kids, now I come across people in my work life. Ooer missus.

Time to have a bit of a reunion I think. Well some people seem to think so, so here we go....

Looks like the Boscombe reef won't be finished this side of the year.

The weather is not nice enough for them to work in so they are packing up for Xmas and coming back in Easter.

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
