HMV

Weird to think how some acronyms just become accepted. HMV, BT, DSL, AOL etc…
Weirder still to think that some people never knew what the acronym stood for in the first place.
Chris and his friends have had a debate about HMV and had decided it must stand for ‘Her Majesty’s Vinyl’. I nearly choked!

7 hours and counting…

Okay I’m gonna be more sporadic than usual since I’ll be the other side of the globe again 😉
In the meantime why not check out some of my favourite reads here, here or here.

24 CTU ringtone

Geeky I know but the ring tone for the phones at CTU is quite unique. mitbiz.de has it posted in Nokia composer format – I just need someone to send it on to my phone now since I don’t have composer 😉

Credit Card Fraud

Is anyone else concerned that credit card companies have simply kept quiet about millions of card numbers being hacked

Sweet as Nectar?

See I always said that I’d prefer one loyalty card for all shops. Unfortunately that defeats the object of a loyalty card! Vodafone meanwhile has jumped on the Nectar band waggon. Which I guess means Orange won’t 😉

-1 v. 26

Yes not much of a choice there is it? London v. Sydney weather wise I know where I’d rather be 😉

Two more sleeps :o)

Watched 24 part two last night. I’d taped it from BBC3 on Sunday night as I was not going to stay up late after watching the first episode on BBC2. It was excellent – easliy as good as the first series (and that’s unusual for a second series I find).
I packed last night too – lots of sun cream as I checked the weather reports for Sydney and it looks like it will be sunny and 25 degrees the entire time I am down under 🙂
I’m very excited now. I need to get some Cadbury’s Dairy Milk for friends and some Heinz Tomato Soup for some weird reason.
So I leave early (and I do mean early) on Thursday morning and arrive Friday evening – I’m hoping the flight is not too bad.
I’m leaving the flat in the capable hands of the invisible flatmate. I told him to have a party whilst I was gone but he isn’t that kind of boy!
So only two more sleeps!

Did I mention I was going to Sydney for 3 weeks?

organica, blogger and google

It’s a bit like blogdex but erm it’s organica
Oh and in other news: Blogger has been bought by bloggers other best friend Google. I’m waiting for them to do something with Microsoft or Apple so you can blog directly from your calendar.

Lasik

You may remember back in september I had LASIK surgery to correct Astigmastism. After the publication of a damning report from Health Which? last week, which claims that the industry is over-hyped and unsafe, the furore over laser eye surgery shows no signs of letting up. Metro has more.

partay

Okay if I ever decide to have a bit of a bash in february ever again remind me not to. No I mean really. Jeez and I thought broken toilets would be the worst thing that could happen after last year!
Little did I know.

Daredevil

Nick and Dave from work came south of the river to play this evening. After we went for a quick one after work for Hugh’s Birthday that is. Although to be fair only Hugh and Tom had alcohol. It was like a meeting of AA. Really it was 🙂
So Nick, Dave and I went to the waterfront for pizza (which was excellent as usual) and then to Streatham Odeon to watch Daredevil (trailers).
It was good I enjoyed it – although action movies with cute guys running around in leather outfits always do it for me 🙂
I left Dave and Nick on the platform at Streatham Common awaiting a Victoria bound train. Hopefully they will make it home (well to one of them at least).
