I don't believe it

Wow, I am OFFICIALLY on holiday this week. Hmm, let me see, yesterday morning i finished off some paper work, went to a pre-arranged meeting and then spent 4 hours in Devizes in our area office with work colleagues!

On Friday I have to attend a special meeting to go through some paperwork, then we're going for a work's christmas lunch.

Today (Tuesday), I got two calls on my mobile (although I did not answer them) and a few emails, which I deleted...

Anyway, did anyone not think Leona would win the X-factor final? 8million people voted, and @ 35p a shot, raised £2,800,000 for Simon, Sharon and Louis' holiday fund. Aparently, the Leona single had 20,000 downloads in 5minutes; allegedly these were £1.50 each so Leona's (?) 20% cut grossed her £6,000 !! Good if you can get it!

And what the hell is Sky playing at? I cannot wait until February for the next episode of Lost!! It's bad enough having to suffer adverts during each episode - it goes like this:

episode - 5mins, advert (5mins), episode 15mins, advert (5mins), episode about 15mins, advert (5mins), episode 5 mins !

And I am going to resist the temptation of saying, told you so. But, I told you so - train passengers are up in arms! It's caused the exact thing I thought was supposed to be an issue, more cars on the roads because people cannot get on the trains when they need to.

It's ok for the powers to say "leave earlier, there's plenty of space on the one before / after", all well and good if you want to arrive early at work. Where's the work/home life balance there?

I WILL say this, if I had paid for a seat on a train and could not sit in one, I would seriously consider suing, especially if due to overcrowding.

While I am in blogging mode, let me also plea to drivers out there: GET SOME ADVANCED DRIVER TRAINING please!!!!

Things that get my goat: 1) people driving @ 40mph -everywhere! 2) people staying in the middle lane of the motorway 3) people with no manners or think they own the highway 4) people who park in disabled parking bays 5) HM government tax pricing on fuel 6) petrol companies who charge what they like just because it isn't a big city 7) HM Government's idea about public transport, yet they allow the train companies to cut services /carriages.

.........Just for starters!

Have a good week....
