Finally a game

I had my first game of the year yesterday and first in about 8 weeks! Due to other teams canceling and the weather being a tad cold we've not been able to play.

Our rustiness did not show though and we won 0-27. I've got a sore ankle and a couple of blisters due to new boots but other than that i'm fine.

Mildly amusing bug

New players are randomly generated in football manager and they use a random name generator. Scott Scott, is this chaps name, his parents can't have been very original.

What a waste of a day

Today was a total waste. I've given a guy in finance over two weeks to provide me with data for head office over in Japan. I finally received it today at around 12 but that's only after me chasing up every other day. I have a day and a half to manipulate this info and pass it on.

The intioial spreadsheet he gave me was the wrong one, the second was password protected and he didn't give me the password and the third was converted into GBP when I needed in original currency.

I now have to redo the whole thing tomorrow, with very little time to check and cross reference it with our accounts. Twat!

Our annual lunch at the Guildhall



We had our annual lunch at the Guildhall this year, apparently it's where the Queen held her silver wedding anniversary party. Quite a good afternoon / night out. The best part was the afternoon off work of course.

Cool walkway in the city

Found this light show behind Liverpool Street station. Also spotted a fancy Gauchos too. Mmm, steak.

Biscuit likes milk

As a sorry to the cats for making them go to the nasty vet I bought them some cat milk. Biscuit likes cat milk.

Why are Liverpool so sh!t?

They've lost one player (Alonso), why are Liverpool suddenly so sh!t? I'm sitting here watching Liverpool lose to a lower division team. Rafa, what's going on?

Next exam

I received my next exam material through today, General Insurance Practice. Another multiple choice 'easy' one. He he! Saying that, it's one of the few i'm actually interested in learning about.

Sunday walk

Bored silly on Sunday so went for some lunch and a walk around Tonbridge Castle. The snow was much better in the castle grounds, you could roll it into a proper snow man if you had the inclination.

Only an hour extra commute tonight


Big delays and an hour and 15 extra on my hour and 5 minute commute. It's amazing what a couple of inches of snow can do.

Photos: This morning on the way into work (30 min delay) and London Bridge at about 5:20, where the info screen said that 67% of trains had run on time today. Liars!
