Does anyone know this number? We have been getting many missed calls and if we do manage to answer the phone the line seems to be dead. A quick Google search fails to bring anything up, however the Google Toolbar was suggesting the number, which shows that others are also looking.
ps, ever so sorry if I’ve just published someone’s home number on the net, however you really should have left a voicemail.

TomTom 6.021
Looks like TomTom have released an update to TomTom Navigator 6 for UIQ3 (P990/M600/W950). This update can be found by plugging your phone into your PC whilst TomTom Home is running. Unfortunately it looks like TomTom Home is actually unable to install the update though.
So here’s my step by step guide.
- Plug your phone in to you PC in File Transfer Mode and run TomTom Home.
- Download the update.
- Unplug your phone.
- Uninstall TomTom from your phone.
- Find the cab file which would have been downloaded on to your PC (should be My Documents / TomTom / HOME / Downloads / ttn.symbian.UIQ3.6021.8120.cab)
- Use Unzip software to unpack the cab file.
- Plug phone back in to PC in File Transfer Mode.
- Via MyComputer open the Memory Card.
- Drag-and-drop the 4 folders and install.bif file on to your Memory Card (say yes to any Replace prompts).
- Unplug your phone, wait a short while and follow the prompt to install TomTom.
To be truthful the only difference I can see is the option to switch between Left and Right hand modes, and I’m guessing better memory handling, but not much else.
2p of Income Tax, so am I better off?
Today’s announcement that 2p will be taken off Income Tax looks good, however the BBC report that I’ll also lose the 10p band, so some back of the fag packet (excel) calculations show.
Before (according to 2007/8 figures from HMRC)
Personal Allowance £5,225 = £0
10p rate £2,230 = £223.00
22p rate £8,545 = £1,87.90
Total tax = £2,102.90
Now (using 20p and no 10p rate)
Personal Allowance £5,225 = £0
20p rate £10,775 = £2,155.00
Total tax = £2,155.00
Difference £52.10 worse off.
Pushing the correct buttons on Excel manage to show that a salary of £18,605 would result in no change and anything more would result in a tax cut.
Edit – OK for the time being I’m actually better off, forgetting to add my Council Allowance to these figures.
Bears poo in woods?
Watching BBC Breakfast, first we had a story that since GCSE Languages stopped being compulsory the number of people taking them have dropped. Followed by David Cameron talking about policies, but not actually giving any details.
NI Elections
Whilst I still have little understanding of NI politics, I always love watching results come in. Does anyone know of a better website than the BBC which clearly shows all the votes and transfers in each constituency?
Why we didn’t vote for the budget
Today at full council the Liberal Democrat group refused to vote for the budget. The only reason for doing this was because the budget arrived on our doorstep on Friday 2nd March, after we had already departed for a weekend in Harrogate.
We found it totally unacceptable that such a serious document which was between 150-200 sides of A4 was sent out as an “item to follow”. If the controlling Labour group expect a debate, an amendment or even an alternative budget we expect next time to receive the paper at least two weeks in advance.
We had also decided that under the same reasoning, if the opposition Tory group had submitted or proposed any changes that this too would be voted against.
Several Labour councillors failed to understand our position, believing somehow that the few consultation sessions to decide what priorities should be made are equivalent to analysing the full and complete paper.
Let’s hope that next year, whoever is in control that we can have a serious debate about how we are to spend the tax payers’ money, by ensuring that everyone has a full chance to read and discuss the proposals with the relevant officers and political groups.
CNPS on the Radio
I’ve just come back from the studio of Radio Lincolnshire where I’m one of the main features of the Breakfast show. After getting readers of the Echo to help me out, I’ve now got the listeners of the local radio.
You can listen again today once the show finishes via the stations website.
Back in the Echo
I’m in the Lincolnshire Echo again. Second time in seven days! Something to do with my slight obsession with number plates.
LibDem Conference at Fantasy Island?
Having read my Reports to Conference I noticed that we’ve yet to confirm that we’ll be going to Harrogate again in 2008. Then on the BBC Lincolnshire website I saw this story: Theme park to get concert venue and text of the story says
Conduit Leisure said it will add a 6,000-seat indoor arena to the Fantasy Island complex at Ingoldmelds… The indoor arena would be able to host concerts and conventions.
Everyone could then enjoy the fun of Ingoldmelds and Skegness.
Bob Crow is a twat
Watching News 24’s coverage of the Cumbria rail crash Bob Crow was on speaking via his phone. He mentioned that blame was already been pointed towards his members, his reasoning for this was that police were questioning them.
WTF of course the police should be questioning them. They should be questioning everybody who is involved in running and maintaining these tracks, included maintenance staff, those in the control rooms and the managers.
Twat!
