Two posts in less than three weeks?

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

Hi everybody,
Time has flown by once again, and it’s already 2 weeks since my last post. Today was a bit of a sad day as Tom and I went to a memorial service for one of the true gentlemen of the world, Dick Long. I met him through paragliding many years ago, and he […]

Has it really been six months?

Tuesday, August 1st, 2006

Well, the obvious answer is no…it’s been seven…but you know how it is, I’ve been busy. And Jonny Fart Pants - thanks for the drunken message, you’re obviously enjoying the wine in south oz.
Anyway, since the last post, amongst other things, I’ve managed to watch Scotland thump England and France at Murrayfield in […]

Back in Action

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

Hello everybody,
I’m back at work after a nice long break,it was very relaxing over christmas and new year.
Then last week we had the shop christmas do; a bunch of us went up to the Craigellachie hotel up on the river Spey where we ate and drank ourselves into a satisfied heap in […]

Hi everybody
I just spent about 30 minutes writing some stuff for here, but a customer came into the shop and the laptop went to sleep and locked up. I gotta do some stuff but I’ll write a wee bit for here soon.

shorter working week

Sunday, December 4th, 2005

The weeks seem to be shortening as the year goes on and daylight fades into memory. I mean the days are surely not as long, they can’t be. I get up, work all day and find there’s more to do when I go to bed. How’s that then?
My poor wife’s laid up in bed with […]

Shock Result! Scotland beat NZ

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

And then I woke up. What a terrible nightmare, even worse than the dreams of stock pouring into the shop and me struggling to find places to put it. Fortunately in the rugby on Saturday NZ managed to score some tries early on, cos Scotland threw everything at them in the second half. Their […]

cough it up love

Thursday, November 24th, 2005

This week started off busy and got a bit daft really - last week I made orders that I forgot to equate to realspace - the equivelant of my wife going off shopping with a skip trailing her to dump the bags in, and amnesia every half hour. Blimey there are boxes piled everywhere, the […]

late nights and early mornings

Saturday, November 12th, 2005

It’s been a bit of a slog this last week or two - what with trying to get the website looking half decent and populated, so that we could have a “semi-launch” on Monday 7th.
HBOS - ( can sometimes be heard pronounced ” itchy baws” by staff in Edinburgh) or Halifax Bank […]

More goodies

Friday, November 11th, 2005

Hello again,
we’re still chipping away at the website; I’ve been going through checking the stock levels shown on the site match reality. It’s all glamour in the IT world.
We’ve got a some really good things on there - one of my favourites is the Aerobie Pro. These have been around for about 20 years […]
