A Royal Visit

July 10th, 2008 1 Comment »

I had the pleasure of being in the same office as HRH The Grand Old Duke Of York today. It was only briefly as he was given a quick overview of the business function in that particular part of the building which was being officially opened by his royal dukeness today. I was within 10 metres of him but didn’t get to ask him why he let his ex-wife release the crime against humanity that is Budgie the Little Helicopter. He only had a few of his ten-thousand men with him today when he turned up in his not very eco friendly Land Rover, but I expect it would have been worse for the environment had he coached them all in for the day. Anyway, they’re always busy walking up and down hills. I noted from looking at his online diary that he attended three other events today including Sony in Bridgend.. they must have been flying visits as he spent quite a while at our offices including having lunch from what I understand.

News on the house front today, we took the plunge and dropped the price rock bottom and got a viewing within a couple of hours…. so watch this space. The sad thing is that the new asking price isn’t far off what we paid for it over 3 years ago. Oh well, if it means we get to move quicker then it’ll be worth it.


There I am!

I’m told that I should be getting a named mention in the Daily Telegraph tomorrow in honour of me becoming a Chartered IT Professional. I shall be running to the paper shop early in the morning to see if I am indeed famous.

Oh yes, that thing in an egg….

Lots of cracks now, and a head is starting to pop up, still can’t quite tell what it is yet though. I might take another piccy tonight as I’m going away tomorrow – don’t want to leave you in suspense for too long.
