Bad Security

Tuesday April 1st 2008

A couple of weeks back when I took a flight from Liverpool to Amsterdam I had my shower gel, moisturiser, and facewash taken from me by security after my bags had passed through x-ray and I’d passed through the metal detector.

I had placed my toiletries into a clear-ish polythene bag that I’d tied a knot in. Okay, so that’s not the fancy resealable plastic pouch that they show in the security notices, but I could undo the knot and re-do it again, so I had figured it would be okay. Not so. The guy called me aside and with a sigh I said “I had a feeling this was going to happen.”

House for Sale

Monday March 31st 2008

House No, not that one.

Our one.

As we’re upping sticks and moving to Scotland over the summer, we will be selling our home of the past three years for offers in the region of £115,000 (according to the man who did the valuation).

It’s a two bedroomed new-ish-build in the Halewood area of Liverpool, with a nice big garden due to the fact that, once upon a time, it was the show house for the small block of Wimpey homes it’s a part of.

If you’re at all interested, Fliss has put together a great brochure for 2 Barncroft Road that you can download.

Kneesy Does It – The Finale

Wednesday March 19th 2008

On Monday morning I went back to Broadgreen Hospital to have my post-operative knee examination. Arriving on time, as always, I sat in the packed waiting room of the Orthopedics department just like all the other cattle and like all the times before.

As time ticked by I heard a few people quietly complain amongst themselves that their appointment had been at ten past eleven and they hadn’t been seen yet. My own appointment had also been ten past eleven and I imagine that everybody there had been told to turn up at ten past eleven, too. I really cant think of too many reasons why they do this, but by now I was used to it, so I stuck one ear-bud in and listened to music while I waited.
