music: Norah Jonesmood: OK .... chilling now
Watchdog
This programme, allegedly focusing on standing up for basic consumer rights always has one, perhaps tiny item that leaves me niggled. Last night it was their Christmas related story errrr consumer issue. Apparently last year people voted for the town with the worst Christmas decorations ... why am I niggled? Did I know about this??? NO I DID NOT. 
I would of put forward Lowestoft as being the place with the worst Christmas decorations - and to make it even worse, there was even an official turning on of the Christmas tree lights here in town !!! Small mercies I reckon, at least we do have a Christmas tree.
The decorations on the other hand are totally shambolic ... they (whoever they are) have got a few strings of coloured lightbulbs from one side of the shops to the other - at what appears to be 150m intervals. There is also naff plastic snowmen and plastic green Xmas trees attached once in a while. These are already falling apart. As my digi camera again has working batteries perhaps a pic soon ...
Christmas .... bah humbug - none of that festive stuff in our town centre please. It just will not do for the shoppers. 
Websites
Aghghhhhh I have finally got a version of a half decent site online again. Its no good having those free guestbooks or stuff hosted elsewhere - the hosting website suddenly vanishes without trace. Serves me right I suppose for using the free stuff. At least now I don't have any nasty banners now ..... 
Oh ... Dave asked if I could mention his name. Done
