Next week it’s Board X at Alexander Palace in London and so we’ve launched a competition on Igloo Life to coincide with it. So, go and take a look and see if you can win some free gear.

Tee hee…. Karl texted me to tell me that Aspect had re-launched their website. I was taking a look around it, and spotted a few mistakes, so thought I’d be nice and email them about them. So, I go to their contact page and choose the Feedback email address (“for suggestions and comments about this site”). Email them my comments, and what do I get back? A message from the postmaster telling me that the address doesn’t exist. Well done Aspect!

So, Angus Deayton has been sacked from “Have I got News For You“. Mind you, Jeremy pointed out that on Friday, HIGNFY is against the first episode of “The Osbournes“. So… is it a ploy to make sure the BBC get lots of viewers?

Over the weekend, I finally got around to sorting out the Honeymoon pictures. Enjoy!

I was in Chesterfield for the first 2 days of this week doing some work for Imagesound and decided that it was close enough to Hull to make it worthwhile doing the extra hour and a half hour drive to go and see my Parents. So I did, and on the way back on Tuesday morning, I drove past a house with Christmas decorations outside – it’s October damn it! I did a total double take, and no really, really it was there! Shocking!

Richard and I went and gave blood yesterday at our local session. It was relatively painless, and didn’t take too long. What percentage of the UK population do you think gives blood? 6%. That’s all. Poor isn’t it. No wonder that the National Blood Service have increased the number of donations you can make in a year to 3, they need to rely on their existing donors to meet the demand. You can find out more about giving blood at blood.co.uk.

…because it means that since we moved to our new office I can go for a walk along the seafront at lunch time. And at lunch time there aren’t many people around at this end of the promenade (near Hove Lagoon) and so it’s peaceful and all you can hear is the noise of the sea. It’s great for people watching too. Today there was a guy wearing just a pair of shorts fishing, a couple sitting on a bench making their lunch (bread, butter, cucumber for sandwiches), a lady coming back from a swim, a guy painting his beach hut and other people just wandering along.

We got some post at work today from the “Data Protection Registration Agency”. It was a form to fill in to be registered and to comply with the Data Protection Act 1988. It had “Final Notice” across the top of the form. Duncan had filled it all in, before we realised it was a scam. They were asking for £95 + VAT as an administration fee. The form had a government look about it, but wasn’t quite right – that’s how we spotted it. I then did a quick search on google and found this article. Cheeky, cheeky people.
