Tennis
Saturday 23rd June 2007 8:34 pm

Yay for me, for I am now all caught up. Well, nearly, I just need to ask this...

Anyone want to come with me to see GB vs Croatia in the Davis Cup at Wimbledon on 22nd September (which will be the doubles)? It costs £20 but I've been to one before and they are really good fun - much more noisy than a Wimbledon match with a Brit in. I'd normally go with my sister but she's very selfishly booked a holiday then.

Doctor Who
Saturday 23rd June 2007 7:52 pm

I spent a large part of tonight's Doctor Who trying to get my head round John Simm's accent on it. It just wasn't what I'm used to hearing from Life on Mars.

Plus, it had Nichola McAuliffe from Surgical Spirit. For some reason her name has stuck in my head, I think because I thought it was so strange it had an h in it. I was only young when I saw it. I know it was being repeated on ITV3 at one point but I didn't have a way of taping digital at the time. I'd have loved to have seen it again, although I do wonder if I'd find it so funny all these years later.

And there was that bloke who's the token American guy in various things, like Spooks, and that conspiracy thing with Jason Isaacs and Neil Pearson recently that I've forgotten the name of. He must have been in more than that though because I keep seeing him and thinking he looks familiar.

Oh, and I quite liked the episode too. And, for a change, Confidential. Sel, there were no spoilers in there at all. They spent half the episode extolling the virtues of Roger Delgado and the other half talking about explosions and stunt driving. There wasn't even a trailer for next weeks at the end, like there was in last episode's Confidential.

Rain, rain go away
Saturday 23rd June 2007 4:33 pm

I like thunderstorms when it's been really hot and you can stand outside, watch the lightning and go 'please rain'. It's a lot less good when it's rained every single day since I got back and isn't really very warm.

I just did my finances and I have paid myself back the money I owed myself to go to Romania! So I now have no money till I get paid on Friday, but this is an improvement on minus amounts. Now I need to save some so I can buy a new TV and have a very cheap long weekend away somewhere in Britain (possibly Cardiff, possibly somewhere else if I think of anywhere else reasonably close I want to go that's not in Dorset) in September.

I discovered that BT will give you a bill in pdf. I've had paperless bills for a while but I've always just downloaded my calls as a csv file. I don't know how long the pdfs have been there, but it doesn't help that they like to move everything on the site round on a monthly basis (or that's what it seems like - I can never find anything). Looking at it, I discovered that they're charging me £1.50 for the privilege of not paying by direct debit (so I actually pay the amount I owe them, not the amount they'd like me to owe them), which is a bit much. It doesn't help that they also charge £10 a month just for the line - which I use for my broadband connection, and occasionally for phone calls. My calls this month were particularly expensive at 71p.
