Make Poverty History Campaign

Ok you are going to have to excuse the really pants positioning of the banner at the top of this blog. I've been trying to put it in a prominent place so that all my many, many readers (all 2 of them and that includes me!) could see it straight off. I did try the rather fetching white band but due to coding restrictions (ie I can't code!) it sliced the blog in half... Seriously though, the Make Poverty History Campaign click here to visit the website for full details- can make a difference to people living in poverty. Thanks to Aly on the A4u Forum for posting a link for the banners to put on websites. If you are interested in showing support on your own website click here to get the banners/buttons.

Little Miss Grumpy

arse, arse, arse i'm blooming annoyed and it's not even lunch time! My pet hate is rearing its head in todays annoyance levels... why do people insist on using those frigging mouse over banners, by navigation bars = especially the ones without a bloomin close tab so you've got to watch the damn thing do its crappy business for about 10 years before you can continue reading. I was considering buying a Nokia mobile phone - not anymore! I'm sick of the sight of that new phone. What's more annoying is temporarily forgetting the blooming banner is there and setting it off again....arrggghhhhh!

...and how did Ronan Keating get on my iPod???
I'm sure it's a conspiracy to get me narked this morning! :-)

Cottages4U

Making an affiliate related post, makes a change! We (the Duck man and myself) decided to take a short break in the UK and spent a couple hours (ok, 4!) on Friday wading through the Cottages4U website. After what felt like an eternity and many cups of tea later we found an idea little place which appeared to be available for when we wanted to travel. I say "appeared" coz it said it was available on the Cottages4u site, however, when we tried to book, the real time checker or whatever bollocks it was called confirmed it as booked up. On checking, we couldn't find any weeks when it was free over the summer! We had a look at a few other cottages and got the same response... I am a little concerned about how people are supposed to book a cottage with this merchant, especially as they feature prominently on In2Welsh. I'll drop a line to the peeps at Buy.at with my concerns and let you know how it goes!
