Here is the text of a letter I’ve just sent to the nice people at Amazon UK complaining about their "fulfilment partner"; Terrible delivery service from DHL. My orders to date have come through Royal Mail and I have not had a problem. If I haven’t been there to receive a parcel in person it …

Lazy Summer Afternoons
I am enjoying the coverage of the test match on Channel 4 at the moment. I have only one comment to make on their presentation – Geoffrey Boycott is a twunt. Will no one rid us of this turbulent Yorkshireman?
Pure Kwality
Each week I receive, by email, a copy of The Friday Thing an incredibly well written, insightful and amusing "comment sheet". If I was you I’d subscribe. I’m just catching up on my backlog and would like to share with you a quote from the edition published on the 16th of July. Talking about the …
It Was Inevitable
I swear that I’m turning into my mother. It was a hot, dry day today in London and all I could think of was "ooh, good drying day I must get some washing on."

After a phone bill the size of the national debt I decided it was time to, belatedly, take action. Here in the UK BT charge a premium on most services and mugs like me pay them. Well, no longer. I’d heard good things about One.Tel so decided to try their international call package. I tried …
The Holiday is Over
