Anthony Nolan Trust

Created: 16 April 2007

Message from Colin.

On Sunday May 6th 2007, I have foolishly agreed to throw myself off the Tyne Bridge all in the name of charity, I will be zip wiring (James Bond Style) over the Tyne from the bridge over to HMS Calliope in Gateshead Quay for the Anthony Nolan Trust.
 
The aim of our fundraising is to raise as much money as possible to help people in need of a bone marrow transplant.  A transplant of bone marrow (or stem cells from the peripheral blood circulating the donor's body) can be used to offer hope to patients with leukaemia or other similar potentially fatal illnesses.  The Anthony Nolan Trust offers patients both in the UK  and all over the world a better chance of a successful transplant. Therefore i could appreciate you support in this matter in the form of sponsorship, this can be done online

or you can just reply to this email with an amount and i will add you to the sponsor form


Many thanks for your support.

Had a celebratory breakfast at Tesco before coming into work with the obligatory cream cakes. Oh how I felt sick.

Had a nice little chat with my young nephew Aidan who called me first thing to wish me a happy birthday.

What is the world coming to, flats evidently

You would think that Bournemouth and Dorset has its fair share of 2 and 3 bedroom flats in the area, but judging by the number going up there must be some mass influx of people into the area or at least people looking to move out of rented accomodation and buying their own home.

The rumour is that the pub at the end of our street, the Southbourne Cliffs, will be turned into flats once the owner retires. Although it has had a noisy past at times, it was always handy for the odd tipple now and again.

The garage down by Tuckton bridge is always rumoured to be turned into umpteen flats and a Tesco Express type thing.

My question is, how much poo can the sewerage system take?

Need a new car battery?

I was recommended Bournemouth Battery Centre as I needed a new car battery for my ageing Honda beast.

Apart from the dodgy looking map on the web site, you must have a look, they were very good. Fitted the new one and disposed of the old one.

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.
