    Have you been where the Queen's been?

    A little bit of light fun to follow on from my rant:

    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    I don't watch the Apprentice. Sorry. I've just finished watching Andrea Bocelli in concert on Sky Arts followed by Hawaii Five 0 from the weekend.

    I was listening to local radio tonight and heard about this story. Made me really angry, actually scratch that, it made me absolutely f*ing furious. I can't believe it hasn't been more widely covered:

    But the driver apparently ‘forgot’ she had a passenger on board

    That's a bit ironic. :undecided

    Had an interesting night tonight. OH found the receipt from the hotel I stayed in two weeks ago whilst on a stag do. I paid for the stag's room as well, so it had two rooms on it. She accused me of having an affair!

    Then I found out that she had thrown the receipt for the kindle I bought yesterday in the bin!

    I enjoyed it all anyway.

    Who watched The Apprentice then?

    Lydia, mmmm not sure

    [STRIKE]Evil[/STRIKE] viva, yup

    Not my thing. Marking A-level past papers tonight.

    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Surely an affaire where you had two rooms would simply be a good friend ship?

    Amazon do a cashback mastercard viva.

    They give you 1% back on any spend in £10 Amazon vouchers which would probably suit you.

    It's paperless and you login to pay after they email you, or you can pay by DD. It's quite convenient once you get used to it.

    There are better but that's a constant rate and probably as well as you will do without faffing around too much.

    Meant to say today on the cashback topic.

    Errr... because if you were having an affair and snuck off to a hotel with your other woman, you'd obviously need two separate rooms????

    Just me then :)

    It can be frustrating but it's good for a laugh.

    They actually did reasonably well today for a change. It's the after show with Dara O Briain which is the best part.

    Maybe. They couldn't choose between the cosy and the love?
