E-mail to Thames Valley Police: Operation Confidence – Feedback
I sent the below e-mail to the Milton Keynes Thames Valley Police on their official e-mail address on 26/01/2010 and have not had a reply yet (today is 18/02/2010).
What more proof do I need that their visit and marketing regarding ‘Operation Confidence’ is just PR (hot air). I have no confidence in them…
Hello,
Last night I [...]
Milton Keynes Car Parking Partnership Office Sucks
I really don’t like the way that car parking management is handled in Milton Keynes.
I have worked in Milton Keynes for 4 years now and have paid (I think) £235 per year to park my car in a public car park outside of my office. This year it has gone up to £270 (more if [...]
The Gardening Trolls of Pennadomo, Italy
It is a little known fact that there are trolls all around the Abruzzo province/region of Italy, but with a little knowledge and a lot of patience you might be able to track them down and catch a glimpse of them.
As in most societies, there are nice trolls and naughty trolls. Plus there is a [...]

Unfortunately I can’t leave my car at Stanstead airport where I am flying out of because I’ll coming back via Gatwick airport. I got quotes for taxis to [...]
Films and Console Games – Cheaper to Rent than to Buy
I’ve done some sums and figured out that from what I have bought in the past, it will actually be cheaper for me to rent and buy videos (Blu-Ray DVD) and console games (you can’t currently rent PC games).
Plus I have bought some console games that I didn’t like, so I’ve only played a few [...]
SAP Doesn’t ‘Get’ Twitter…
I currently subscribe to around 10 SAP RSS feeds, which is okay, although due to the nature of SAP and its modular approach to software; items are cross-posted to various RSS feeds meaning that I see a lot of duplication.
Now SAP have started to use Twitter, but their approach to it is to just [...]
The Whole Christmas and New Year Thing…
I don’t like Christmas.
First of all, I prefer to write ‘xmas’ because the word ‘Christmas’ is too long is too religious for my liking.
I’m not a Scrooge by any means, but I don’t like the xmas period because:
It’s a religious holiday and I’m an atheist. I haven’t met a single person who I would consider [...]
