400 miles

Driving 400 miles in one day isn't so hard. Age 21, I was asked to accompany some clients to a software development exhibition in Switzerland. As I'd never flown before, a friend and I did a test flight to Edinburgh and back to ensure I wouldn't freak out at the sight of a folded tray table. In these early days of EasyJet's popularity, we found a ( Read more... )

Sent off your reference on Friday, posted from Euston on me way up to Southport. Hope it got to them. I said only nice things about you, so if they decide you are an unsuitable tenant you cant blame me, as I made no mention of joss sticks or coke bottle/melted wax hybrid sculptures balancing precariously on bed side cabinets.

Or we could have set fire to a bit of the pier and made smoke signals. Actually, given the extreme wind yesterday, and the propensity of Southport Pier to burn down, perhaps not. I too have stolen opera glasses, but only because I couldnt fit them back in the clippy thing and thought it less embarrassing to steal them than admit to the bored looking usherette (are we allowed to call them usherettes any more, or is that too 1950's??) that a small plastic clip had me utterly befuddled.

You need to get a user picture, dollface. Something sophisticated methinks.
