Truthly I’ve never heard of this before, however £100,000 has just be won in a cryptic treasure hunt.
What caught my eye was the winner is Andy Darley, a name which rang a bell. Now whilst I can’t confirm that it is the same one, his site does have Perplex City ads and used to run a Perplex City Card Swap.
If it is the same one, well done!
Two more seconds of detective work pretty much confirm that it is the same one, as the winners username is astro_random, which matches that of one on Andy’s website.
Whooah, we’re half way there
That’s right, I’ve finally found 500 consecutive number plates taking me past the half-way mark. Only another 499 to go.
Money :)
Everyone seems to be sending me money at the moment. Google very kindly deposited money into my bank. MessageSpace emailed me a few hours ago to tell me similar news, and checking up on YouGov I’ve finally reached the magical £50 mark (only took almost 3 years). However I believe that it may be a lot longer before that cheque appears through my door.
Snowed-in in Lincoln
Not too sure if I can get away with saying that I can’t make it to work today.
Snow seems to have appeared around 8.30 and whilst it’s still going, at worse we seem to have 1cm of the white stuff.
Fingers crossed that the snow does disappear by next week, I need to fly out of East Midland for my birthday.
Life on Mars
Because of Alex’s reviews and this trailer,
I thought that I really should watch Season 1 of Life on Mars. Having gone and got the box set, I’ve spent the last three days (well most of Sunday) catching up, and I’ve got to say that it’s brilliant. Can’t wait for Season 2 to start. Ohh, it’s starts on my birthday, 13th Feb, and I’m out of the country! Will have to get someone to tape it for me.
Charlie Brooker on Macs
On the Guardian website Charlie Brooker has some really good commentary and shares most of my views about Macs and their users.
This quote is brilliant
Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults
and those Mitchell and Webb ads are already pissing me off. Mostly because my PC hasn’t rebooted since, well I can’t remember it’s been years, whilst the Mac at my mums house should be doing it’s half-hour crash any second now.
But best of all about the article, the ads on the page 🙂
ING are crap
We’ve now had two Bank of England rates rises, and I’ve now had two emails from ING telling me that they aren’t following. So that’s 0.5% that they are currently keeping from me.
If I can manage to get Heather on to my current Egg account I’m moving as Egg are offering 5.25% for exactly the same type of account we have with ING.
No, I’m not that mad
Those taking a quick glance at the list of the blogs on the right of LibDemBlogs might be suprised to see Iain Dale listed. However it’s not the blue one, but the yellow one
BBC on your PC
Levy arrested again
BBC breaking that Lord Levy has been arrested for “conspiracy to pervert the course of justice”.
Oooh
