I like what you say: Nada Surf

A little song that is getting a lot of my attention at the moment...

protect yourself: the alarming problems with Paypal

Well folks,

I am currently in a dispute with Paypal and have had to involve the police (really can't be bothered to go into the details).

With Ebay making it mandatory to offer Paypal as a payment option, how safe are we and how many more horror stories will we hear?

Share your stories with me, or click on the link above. If you've had bad experiences, trust me, you're not alone!

Peace!

first snow

And so finally we experience our first, pathetic sprinkling of snow here in southern England. I recorded this video not 15 minutes ago, but as I write this it has already stopped. Oh well, I'm sure that it will be followed by mushy goodness.

What happened to snow in England? In fact, what happened to any kind of extreme weather? In the media you hear of an ever increasing amount of severe weather events throughout the world, but I'm telling you, here in England, it couldn't be further from the truth. A six week period of "tepid" weather - our "summer", which, usually occurs in April; a wet and overcast July and August... (which I do acknowledge can sometimes lead to flooding) and then a strangely mild new year. Only now has the weather become what you might expect. What's happening?!! My Geography degree isn't helping me out here. What a strange thing weather is. I heard somewhere, that, in 50 years, southern England will have a climate similar to that of Portugal...
