Daylight saving is over. Home and work in the same time zone for 6 months!

Interesting. Do you live on the border between states? This is really intriguing. Sorry to be so nosey.

My office and most clients are Queensland based and I work out of Brisbane 3-4 days per week. Home is near Tamworth (NSW) a 1 hour flight or 7 hour drive.

Eeeek now that is a commute. By the way, I live near Tamworth too. Only I'm near Tamworth in the UK.

What, and you don't cycle it? Google Maps reckons you could do that 350 miles in under 24 hours if you did 15 mph average, you ought to cycle it occasionally!

It does make my 12 mile commute look rather pants.

It is almost exactly a 600 door to door - good training for PBP?

I'm feeling rather better than this morning/yesterday (I'd thrown up at work, and was a bit iffy at the meet up).

Better had - I'm interviewing all day tomorrow.

We live in a flat that is managed (badly) by a management company. We were under the impression that the management company work for the freeholder, so they have always done things as per the lease (to the letter - to the point of stupidity. I currently pay service charge for electricity for communal areas I have no access to

).

We e-mailed the freeholder via their solicitors and they told us today that the residents association appoints the management company and they work for us. It's going to be interesting when they find this out!!!

In Stokie the word "reet" will be sounded as "rate"

As in "All rate yoth?".

Not having been born here and being able to speek the queens English - every day is like an anthropological expedition.

ZB, I assume you have heard the Potteries slang about heading a ball against a wall.

Thanks. I really appreciate your help in the process. I got to meet a lovely man and get a great bike too.

I was expecting a cheque a little above £100. It arrived yesterday but was nearly £250.

Yay! We haz bike racks! Two Sheffield stands installed outside the front door by some chaps from the LA, courtesy of funds I'd bid for.

Proper concreted ones, too - none of your bolted down rubbish

We have the all clear. After all that fear it's not swine fever, it's a particularly nasty e coli. Yay!

E Coli isn't good, but a small 'Yay!' anyway
