Well that meeting was fruitful.

I found two interesting links which I posted in General, and had an issue to solve.

Just gritted my teeth and phoned ao.com to see if they would take away the old gas cooker when delivering the new one on Monday. To my astonishment, getting through the automated part of the phone process was trivial, and once I was speaking to a human they added it to the order at no extra charge

If they deliver in the morning on Monday, the new one can probably be connected by that afternoon, depending on how busy the gas man is. Otherwise it'll have to wait until Friday, though that's hardly an issue given how long I've been without one

And I've just paid the Council Tax. I paid the water rates the other day, so that's two things I don't have to worry about for another year

Property of a Mr. J Sainsbury by any chance?

Property of Skool of Computing.

Different kind of trolley.

Wot? In one chunk?

"Some people do you know!"

As I was rudely informed by Thames Water just before I found out they were over charging me and I couldn't have a water meter.

Yep. The interest rate on my savings is now so low that I'd rather just pay the bill and not have to think about it for the rest of the year

That's what I do for the ZeitParents' house.

It does sting a bit mind.

After the excitement of the 16:29 125 grinding to an emergency stop because it "hit an obstruction on the track at Llansamlet", I got home to the ZeitParents' house to find that the BBC tax people had paid a visit, only to find no one in.

Well there's a surprise then.

No doubt they'll be back only to find I'm not in then too.

I wonder how long I can string this out for.

They're on commission, so they'll keep coming back as long as they think there's a score in it for them
