Speed camera’s… GRRRR

Was driving to work yesterday, as couldn’t face another weekend of rail replacement bus service. For once I didn’t have my TomTom or Snooper switched on. Was half asleep following some other car, when FLASH FLASH, the car in front got flashed, then FLASH FLASH, so did I. Could have only been doing about 35.

Turns out that the Limehouse link in Docklands, is a 30 (although looking today, I couldn’t even see it sign posted), and they have three speed cameras in there. I was hoping I may be lucky and it will have run out of film or something, over the Bank holiday weekend. However the limehouse link’s cameras are digitial, so do not need servicing or ever run out

BBC reports all about this. So looks like my ticket could already be in the post boo hoo

This week have been staying at Mother’s house this week as thought it would be a good base for starting my new job at ntt.

Well  a bit of a mistake. My logic was, am in London, the Thames clipper takes about 20 minutes, sorted.

Everyday there has been some sort of cock up with tit, so not too impressed there. First couple of days, too foggy.

Then last night really took the piss. Coming home, waiting at Tower Pier, the clipper goes straight passed. The guy working there was clueless as to why. Then the next one comes along, and apparently there was only space for one more, great, I was first in the queue. However some cheeky bint was allowed to push in, because she had a season ticket. Grr. Now I’m sure if I had a season ticket, I’d want the ability to push in. A bit cheeky on public transport I thought.

Next week I get to test the C2C line to Fenchurch Street, I hope it’s slightly more reliable.

Also told by a few pals over at Kingston Communications, that my previous blog was mentioned in a management meeting, as it had flagged up an alert, that the company name was mentioned on the web. HA. As will this one no doubt this will too. (Hi to you all if you’re reading) I guess there wasn’t much on the agenda of the meeting. Also later on this afternoon, someone viewed my CV on the site, also from KCOM, or at least a customer, as the person’s IP resolved to Karoo (KCOM’s adsl division) ADSL. They were too wimpish to put their correct email address however, sad!

Am trying to post this via, email > wordpress. Wonder if it will actually play nice.  [UPDATE: it didn't. No text came through]

Another night of no sleep, so watching ze box. Now we’ve all seen these adverts, stating meet local women in your area now, we’ve got women waiting to send you their pictures.

I question this fact, because how often do they have an advert for the women… hmm I can’t say I’ve ever seen one?

Me thinks it’s a con. They’re just playing on sad old, pissed or just desperate guys, wanting to get their end wet.

The same goes for any medium really, just look over the net, it’s everywhere, but always one sided.
