Oops. I’ve just been asked to drive more quietly in the car park…Presumably by someone who equates fast driving with dangerous driving.

Anyone out to the Cambridge fireworks tonight?

Its seems my Britishness might be in doubt…I strongly disagree with the ‘correct’ answer to this question:

“Life in the UK says to be British means you should…
A: “Respect laws, the elected political structures, traditional values of mutual tolerance and respect for rights and mutual concern.”
B: “Share in the history and culture of an island nation with a character moulded by many different peoples over more than two thousand years.”
C: “be part of a modern European democracy, one with a tradition of sharing our ways with the world – and allowing the world to bring its ways to us.”

The answer was A”

I have had *no* respect for the elected political structures for a long time and, if current trends continue, I’ll be venturing into significantly negative levels of respect.

…I got six right out of 14, but only through a couple of lucky guesses, I’ll be expecting the boys around to make sure I’m off somewhere where they don’t demand that their residents have respect for their political structures.

Grrr…furious in the general direction of O2…when I signed up for their service they said “We’ll give you this bolton free for six months” to which I said OK. What they didn’t mention was that they’d double my phone bill once the six months was over, without telling me or checking if I was actually using the phone. And then decide I was on a 24 month contract when all the paperwork I can find says 12 (I thought I agreed to 18 when I ordered it so was happy about 12).

Anyone else find them horrendously difficult to deal with?

Anyone seen any photos of the Littlehampton Hippopotamus Invasion?

…there seems to be so many photo opportunities in Chernobyl, I especially like the fairground.
