Day Trip to Barrow

Thanks to Virgin Trains trying to pass the buck for a messed up train journey to First Transpennine, FT passed the buck back to VT and offered some travel vouchers as an apology and they were used today for a trip to Barrow In Furness. Why? The Docks Museum looked interesting and apart from ironing, [...]

Buzz-ing along and other stuff that bugs me

Sure enough, Google Buzz finally triggered on my account. Having spent an hour or so playing around with it, I don’t think I like it. It doesn’t show twitter activity as it claims to and it has posted my latest Flickr photo as a message without me going anywhere near it. When I do try to include [...]

Quick Update 7th Feb 10

It’s good to be in the house for more than a few minutes, finally got around to deciding about the kitchen and dining room both of which will be trashed in the near future. Nothing wrong with either of them as they stand but I don’t want two rooms. It’s also been Noah’s Christening today, [...]

Heysham M6 Link

Yet again the solution to the congestion in Morecambe and Lancaster goes to an enquiry. Various groups complain about the ever rising costs, have they thought that actively campaigning against the road and delaying it is actully the cause of the rising costs? Had it been built when it was first planned we’d have saved [...]

Still cold & white

Nothing like as cold as it has been or as cold as the weather channels say it is elsewhere but I still can’t put a wash on, the machine is in an old fashioned out-house and the water froze in the pipes – T to the rescue.

I managed to get to The Wine Yard last [...]

White Morecambe

Having seen the east coast, midlands and south west, Morecambe has got off very lightly with the white weather. It doesn’t mean it’s less white than anywhere else, just not as deep. It’s been cold though, cold enough to freeze salt water but at least the coumcil have used sand off the beaches to help around [...]

Catch Up Time

Quite a while since a half decent blog with some personal detail, so what’s been happening? As has become a regular event since the kids were young, Xmas Day with them was on Xmas Eve. Presents handed out, pies just about cooked in the oven before everyone starved but I gave up with the mushy [...]

The Visitor – A Week Later

A week later and still no announcement from Morecambe FC about a stadium deal. If I hadn’t used The Visitor to light the fire on Christmas Day I’d be asking for a refund. Just proves my comments last week, it’s a complete waste of paper. I wonder what will appear this week, if it was so bad [...]

The Visitor - Morecambe's weekly paper

Today is the last Visitor I’ll be buying. I’m not a regular reader but today’s headline caught my eye and I fell for it. “Shrimps sign mega £1/4m deal”. With a headline like that, you’d expect a bit of meat on the bone. Well, not with The Visitor. That’s it, MFC are going to sign [...]
