It’s taken years but it’s finally happened… I guess I need a new starting word now?
Sometimes being a train guy helps, huh?

I always start with a different word, but I have a few go-toes including Audio, Crane, Sport, and Media.

In unrelated news, Sweden has recently gotten a Costco and I've got myself a membership. I went there this weekend and they sold Coke Zero real cheap! I may have bought 60 Liters of it... Yes, that's a total of 40 1.5L bottles. It cost me about 35 Euro, or £30.

Did you have any luck with this? The ticket selling appeared to be a little bit of a poostorm. Surge charging and all sorts.

I did! I had to pay the surge pricing, but I think price did not matter in this case. My wife Louise has been waiting for this moment for 15 years, and now it is happening.

We will attend the Wembley London show on 30th July. I think we may have paid about £450 per ticket which is... Well, that's money could have spent on something else. But it will be, as Liam would say, biblical.

Hey, if you have the money you might as well spend it on nice things for you and the wife, no?

Happy to hear you managed to get tickets. I know a few who were left disappointed by the over-the-top pricing, and re-evaluated how much they wanted to see Oasis.

I am indeed trying to convince myself that money is best spent on stuff you enjoy! With interest rates declining, my money will stretch further every month anyway!

Ah, tech support. How i hate doing it, but needs must for the sake of £££.

Not even funny how many times I've come across businesses with what we can assume is fairly fat wallets still using XP or lower operating system, because they didn't wanna pay for someone to update their software for modern stuff. Then act surprised when it starts collapsing in on itself and its hard to find replacement hardware that is compatible with stuff ¬_¬

Well, I've worked Customer Service now since 2011. I love it, actually! I'm currently at a digital postal service company, we process your government letters and private company letters for you and upload them digitally in an app, so you don't need to get physical copies.

It’s a photo of a physical photo (digital copy won’t be available for a few days), but a very exciting day was had!

Exactly! :D

Also had the pleasure of meeting Beth Broderick and Caroline Rhea, Catherine Tate, Mark Williams, and the Boys from the Dwarf (well, Chris, Craig and Danny, sadly Robert couldn't make it). And attended panels with most of the above, plus Simon Pegg, and an assortment of folk from Supernatural. A most fun (if expensive) weekend.
