Two Nations

Friday, April 28th, 2006

It’s a funny old world.
I would never have dreamed that an obscure Streets song would end up being the soundtrack to my week, but that’s the way life goes sometimes. And so I’m playing it … a lot.

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

And welcome to Leatherhead Hospital. Part of the East Elmbridge and Mid Surrey Primary Care Trust.
Today boys & girls, Geoff is visiting the Dermotologist. Wooh. The excitement never ends does it?

The price is so not right

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Right! Let’s play a game then.
It’s called “Guess how much I had to pay an emergency plumber to come and fix my leaking shower this afternoon”.
I discovered it yesterday where there was a pool of water on my bathroom floor, and found that the whole of the back of the wall behind the shower outlet [...]

A quick plug

Monday, April 24th, 2006

I really hate it when there’s so much going on sometimes, that you want to blog everything, but then realise that a lot of it is largely irrelevant, and so you end up doing nothing.

An American in England

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

Hello. This is Leigh. Seeing as I am currently in England and experiencing the bizarre cultural differences that Geoff likes to write about on his blog, I thought I’d throw in a few of my own!
So in the tradition of Geoff and his infamous ‘10 things’ lists that he loves so much, I thought [...]

Ten things I learnt today

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

For the same price that it costs to park for ‘Between one and two hours’ in the arrivals car park at Gatwick, you could buy 23 Cadbury’s Creme Eggs from my local shop.
Good Friday and Easter Monday are NOT public holidays in the USA.
I visited the house today that I used to live in between [...]

Test

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

If you recieved a one-word email from someone you knew that just said “test” - how would you respond?
Go on … give me instant answer!
Don’t think about it too much, just imagine that an email drops into your inbox, you open it up, and it just says “test”. And it’s from someone that you know. [...]

The weighting game

Friday, April 7th, 2006

You know how the whole world is on a diet?
Everyone except me that is. In fact, it’s the reverse. I want to get fatter please - so if anyone has got any good tips of how I can increase my bulk - please let me know!
Over the last 6 months I’ve managed to lose [...]

My Accent

Sunday, April 2nd, 2006

America. Land of freedom and opportunity … right? And now to me : new music.
Coming back on the plane last week, I got chatting to the guy next to me who I just assumed was American, because .. well, he sounded it! Turned out though that he was an English chap that had [...]
