A life of exile in Vancouver, Canada

Today was busier than usual at work, fix that, sorting the other. It started off quite strangely when a guy at work took off his shirt in front of me, he was changing but quite unusual he would do it in front of me. He said to me before he wants to experiment with men, [...]

As many people in the UK know this country is called “Rip Off Britain” due to unreasonable prices for products and services. One of the products I used in the US was Tresemme hair products. They are made in the UK but over 2 times more expensive here than in the US. Tresemme Shampoo 3.56 [...]

Don had to work today so I decided to go down see my parents. I got off at London Bridge to go get some food to take down from Marks and Spencer but I found they had a Paul Pattiserie, I got some Almond Croissant and Apple Slices. My Mum enjoyed them but my father [...]

Just a regular day. Tonight we went out to Laughing Buddha in London Chinatown. We used to go there often but it closed for re-decoration. Now its re-opened we thought we should try it out. This is my review: – they were having problems with their air conditioning – I asked for egg fried rice [...]

Today was my Father and Tiffany’s birthday, she is Don’s niece. My Father was upset today at the care home, in his imagination he thought my Mother wasn’t going in to see him and he had a tantrum. Of course my Mother went in as usual and after a little while he felt better. There [...]

Its not very often we have snow in London which is just as well as the infrastructure here cannot cope with it, no cleaning of streets, transport in a mess, and so on. I was already to go into work this morning and decided against it when I realized I couldn’t keep on my feet [...]

Wow, what happened to January, time goes by very quickly doesn’t it. This week the temperature has really dropped into the 30F’s with snow expected for Thursday before becoming warmer by the weekend. The office is also freezing and they have no intention of doing anything about it. Both yesterday and today I was sitting [...]

Friday was just a regular work day but in the evening we went to Chinatown for dinner, which was very good. We also went to a Chinese store to buy a new years card which is coming on February 18th. Saturday Don had to go to work so I was left on my own at [...]

It’s been quite busy at work today and not so much attention was given to current trauma’s which is a good thing. Actually managed to get some work done. The weather was very windy in London today and pretty bad almost everywhere in the country [source BBC]. Many transport services were running partial or no [...]

Yesterday was a typical day in the office and got home really stressed out, then had a bad night as a result. Then that typical day continued today. The office is like Big Brother, people segregated in one office and many at each other’s throats all the time. There are people like me who try [...]

Weekend

Filed Under General | Leave a Comment

Saturday we went to see my parents and both of them seemed to be ok. My father was having a good day even though he is doing some odd things. We had some problems getting down there due to some tube closures and as reported by Going Underground we now know why – two youths [...]

Another day at work, another bunch of gossip, managed to avoid it though. Started going in later this week but its turning out to be really stressful due to crowding and rude people on the London tube. Even a very organized Christian Flash Mob didn’t stop the religious nutter’s to force the House of Lords [...]

Another day of office politics and getting little work done. Very depressing. The office is also extremely noisy and its difficult to concentrate on getting any work done. I am getting in a little later these days, unfortunately I had to stay late to meet up with some students and only half of them bothered [...]

Today was my first physical day back in the office, ohmigosh…continuous moaning and gossip all day.  Its driving me round the twist!!  I got so much work done at home last week and today I hardly got anything achieved.  Sigh.  I did get a new computer at work today so that at least was a [...]

This weekend was kinda quiet, took it steady on my feet. On Saturday we just went round Camden, it rained all day and it wasn’t worth going anywhere! On Sunday we went up to Covent Garden planning on eating in that area, we checked out a couple of places and ended up in Chinatown, I’m [...]

I ventured out into the wide world today by going to my comic store in Camden and to the supermarket. No problems getting there and going round at all, nice to get some fresh air at last. When I got back I almost went arse over tit again and hurt my ankle again…well, just a [...]

Just another day working at home, still enjoying the peace and quiet and actually getting a lot of stuff done for a change. Following the report of a UFO over Chicago the other day another unidentified object crashed into a house in New Jersey yesterday [source 1010wins]. Well, in fact it was a rock but [...]

Don went back to work after the Christmas and New Years break today, its sad that it all comes to an end huh. I decided to work from home for the rest of the week, my ankle still hurts and there is no point struggling in. I managed to get a lot of work done [...]

I didn’t go anywhere today, best not to chance going out with an ankle that isn’t quite recovered and just make it worse. I didn’t take any time off work today, luckily I can work remotely from home. The Denver Bronco’s website has turned into a tribute to Darrent Williams who was murdered yesterday [source [...]

On the way to Regent’s Park today I twisted my ankle. It hurt throughout the walk round the park but did manage to get around. It actually feels worse now that I have rested it this evening. With the other injuries I have I feel as though I am in the wars lately. Anyway, it [...]

To all, Happy New Year 2007 from Steve and Don
