Harry on tour

2010-09-07T02:31:16Z

Every year I compete on the Oldham Seniors Tour which involves 14 matches at clubs in Grt Manchester and west Yorkshire. This year I have decided to bore you all with news from the events, in particular, Harry's performances. The first is tuesday at Ellesmere Golf club (worsley) which is tucked in close to the junction of the M60 and East Lancs road. Its amazing that it is so close to the motorway network as this is hardly noticeable due to the numerous big trees. At 6240 yards it is about average length, fairly flat and big wide fairways. I had 4 wins on tour last year, looking to do as well again.

Should they be made to work in underground coals mines, pay the unemployed a fair wage but work the others until dead.

drug driving

2010-09-06T21:28:53Z

on arrival back to the car yesterday on a public car park I noticed a young child run from between the parked cars then followed by a young couple the young lady was quite smartly dressed and the young man was scruffy with his hood up smoking a big home made cigarette not of the legal kind,(could tell by the smell) they all got into the car then decided to tip all the rubbish on to the car park floor then drive off clearly high off his super cigarette, all I wanted to do was stop him for the saftey of the child but nowadays its not safe as you dont know what they are carrying the ending of the story is I dont know whats worse drink driving or driving under the influence of an illegal substance !!!!!!!!!!

Should the government of the day...

2010-09-06T20:23:06Z

Only pay child benefits etc for the first two children and only housing benefits for 2 adults if applicable but only maximum of two children.

I'm sick of seeing, reading, watching tv programmes depicting scum bag families with zillions of kids, both parents can't be bothered to work yet get benefits that most hard working folk can only dream of.

Remembered its not an obligation to have children..

Sir Cyril Smith RIP

News that the great liberal has died today, the Rochdale MP was as famous as Gracie Fields, a local man who made springs for a living and was one of the great characters of the age, not only by his size but by his laugh and love for common folk, who has done more than he and deserves a statue to his memory.

Check your change

Coins of the realm, a local shop keeper had refused to except a foriegn pound coin today from a child and the father came in to complain, i was paying a bill and the shopkeeper thinking he wanted a single item went to serve him first so i stood side as the man held out two coins and asked what was wrong with his money and was she racist.

She took one coin and said it was ok but the other was from the Isle of Man and not legal tender in britain, she had a notice behind her listing 6 countries all bearing the queens head but not accepted in the shop, the father said it was all legal and she had made the list up herself which then led to an arguement, the little boy was upset who stood in the doorway as accusations followed.

Afterwards the owner showed me her till that had a draw half full of coins that were all non legal, we went through each in turn, starting with £1, 50p, 20p, 10p and all looked correct, the right shape size and colour, and all had the QE11, date and correct value on them, copper coins were examined.
The countries are the Channel islands, Gibralter, Eire, IOM and a few more that escape me...

I am often confused by the designs on our coins today, they all look odd to me, you can have many different stamps on the coins coins all for the same value and rarely check them, when i got home i checked all my change in my pocket and found a 20p peice from the Bailiwick of Guernsey that was not legal tender. I was surprised to be told scotish money was legal, also that of northern ireland which i normally reject if i am ever given it in change if i dont intend to spend it before returning home.

i have a cup full of spanish, french, german, belgium, austrian and dutch coins kept as souveneirs from holidays before they had the euro- do they have different coins today? anyway, i said just put them in ticket machines and get rid of them as its a mistake not fraud but she was insistant that it was deliberate and lost out, so i suggested they went to a charity if the banks would not accept them, is this more common and a problem as i had not known about it till today.

I've got an eReader!

2010-09-06T17:44:21Z

Sony are launching some new eReaders, so I got a pretty good deal on a Pocket eReader at the trafford centre yesterday.
I really wanted one when I found out you can read pdfs on them, because I can't read long documents on screen (gives me migraines) but I hate all that wasted printing out as well.
The eReader isn't like a proper screen, it's very, very strange, and it really is like reading paper, so it doesn't give me a headache. And i thought it will be great for my next two years at Uni.

So today i've been playing with the ebook sites and trying to work out how to download stuff, and how to find the books that I want.

Hopefully Oldham libraries will let me borrow ebooks soon, then it will be pretty much perfect!
