Lucy is out at work this morning and so I was left to just rattle about the house for a few hours so what do you do? If your really bored I guess you could check the news for news of the current oil price? So I did! OK, I’m not that geekish to really check the price to much, I don’t keep an eye on the FTSE either but when you are a merchant of polymer products you do have a vested in interest in...

I was damn shocked to hear the news this morning about all the terrorist attacks in London. It does not feel right to post yet another article about the events as I’m sure the internet will be ripe with news and views of the day, it only goes to say that I hope any one I know down that way is safe and well and all those effected have my thoughts and feelings. Of course you can get most information...

We are now on the third day in July already, the year just seems to be cruising by in a blur. This is the seventh month already, the days will be getting shorter and the darkness will begin to grow, it felt like only the other day I was sitting there thinking ‘when will summer get here’ now all of a sudden you realise you better make the most of it; which is difficult with the decline in the...

Last night whilst I was trying to take a couple more photo’s of the ongoing storm that has not really stopped for two days now, bob was looking at his new site on a Mac to check it worked in Safari when he commented on a ‘spot’ on my screen. On closer inspection it turns out that it is not a bit of dirt on the screen but a spot inside the screen. We sat there trying to work out what it was when...

Last night we experienced one of the best electric storms we have had so far this year. It is hardly surprising the weather has been getting hotter and hotter and the air just so ‘heavy’ with that close feeling about it that you knew it was going to happen. Lucy and I were sitting downstairs talking about houses when it first started rumbling, so we decided to move upstairs and look out over the...

This night was more orientated around the office staff of Grabor Plastics and so part 2 was for the shop floor workers, you know the real people behind any company. Some how I got invited to that as well. Once again an ugly night was soon to follow and the damage was done. It was good to meet up again, despite spending most of the night talking to Kay; yar-great, about the duality of man and the...

I had a phone call from bobgbob the other day to say that Grabor Plastics, who were my old employer who had recently been sold and taken over by another firm, were having a get together at a new drinking hole in Sudbury as a fare well. He asked if would like to show my face as an old employee and see people off to pastures new, I said hell no, but I’ll come just to take the pi55 if he wanted...

If you have sky, you may have accidentally gone past the motorsTV, men&motors, Poker channel or even an old episode of ‘Top Gear’ and found yourself on LivingTV. This is an interesting channel for the enlightened viewer, but one programme which i have grown used to is Most Haunted. The programme consists of former 'Blue Peter’ presenter Yvette Fielding, an acquired taste psychic Derek Acorah...

Despite the wonderful weather that Sudbury was enjoying over the week end most of my time was spent keeping an eye on the Le Mans 24h race. For me this was going to be an interesting year, Pescarolo on the front row ahead of the Audi R8’s, yep that’s right ahead of them. Plus the biggest news since the return of Bentley; the return of Aston Martin in the GT1 class with two Pro-Drive prepared...

Friday night was a real scorcher at work. It was a nice bright morning when i first woke up, but then the clouds covered the skies just as i wanted to sit in the garden! They finally cleared as i was cooking my lunch and getting ready to go to work. When i got to work, i got suited and boated only to find that our shop floor was at least 30’C. To top it off, we had to fix a broken motor coupling...
