Search Terms

by Amanda November 16, 2010

Sometimes people stumble across my blog when they are quite obviously looking for something entirely different. I can see some of the search terms that led folk here when I check my blog statistics. The reason I mention this today, is that one of today’s offerings was truly bewildering. I do get some odd ones [...]

by Amanda November 14, 2010

That’s what my Dad used to say. Cue me doing a little pantomime of trying to put food in my mouth, with my mouth firmly closed. Of course, table manners are incredibly important, but have you ever noticed how many potential spanners are thrown into the works of attempted etiquette perfection? For instance, putting food [...]

Voicemail Strangeness

by Amanda November 13, 2010

Dear reader, do you happen to have a mobile phone with 3 network? If so, have you noticed anything odd about their voicemail?

Gallivanting Again

by Amanda November 13, 2010

Yes, it’s a hard life. Two visits to Inverness and a jolly to York to meet friends since last I blogged. Oh woe is me. *Grins* It was my first visit to York and it’s a beautiful place, full of Tudor buildings and fabulous, winding, cobbled lanes. Unfortunately it was also full of people with [...]

by Amanda October 24, 2010

Well, not all, but enough to make me pace up and down the living room like a caged Tiger. First of all, I have had a week of phone calls which I cannot answer. Sod’s law is in full force on my phone, which means that it only rings when I am doing something or [...]

Yes, my blog has moved and my site has been updated accordingly. People who follow via the RSS feed or visit the blog via my site will barely notice, but I will need to get everyone who links to my blog to change the link… Oh joy! *Goes off in search of links*

Manners Maketh Man

by Amanda September 28, 2010

And Woman for that matter. I was stopped at a red light today and I glanced in the rear view mirror at the car which pulled up behind me. I was rewarded with a vision of loveliness. A gorgeous brunette in a fabulous BMW 3 series. She was mouth-wateringly lovely… Right up until the time [...]
