I got the car a new electric pump last weekend - the old one's bit-that-goes-on-the-valve no longer held on tight enough, which meant I had to stoop to hold it in place. Furthermore, the automatic cutoff had never worked on it, so I was forever disconnecting, checking with the gauge, and reconnecting until I got to the right pressure

The new one's digital and generally whizzy

We bought one of those for my dad recently - quite whizzy indeed.

Holy cow! I won £93 on the lottery yesterday!!!

How's that for a birthday present?

In the spirit of "credit where credit's due", I shall recount a little incident from my birthday.

I'd booked myself into the Premier Inn in North London where (I recently calculated) I slept for six months of my life by dint of spending four nights a week there when I was last working in London.

Upon checking in I was immediately recognised by the young lady on Reception; although, quite understandably, she had to be reminded of my surname, she remembered such details as that I didn't take breakfast. Chatting to her, I mentioned that I was just down for the day because it was my birthday.

A few minutes after I'd got into my room, a birthday card - and not a corporate one, but one handwritten by herself (though obviously not from her on a personal basis - it was addressed from "The Reception Team") was pushed under my door

Without wishing to go all Lenny Henry about the place, I have to say that I think that is a very good standard of attention to the customer, given the price of the room

Oooh, looks like we might get a century and a millenium today then!
