Electrickery

What is the average monthly/quarterly electricity bill in the UK, does anyone know, or know where I can find out?

I think British Gas are trying to fleece us. Bloody deregulated utility companies.

Going Underground

Between paperwork-laden trips to the management agents – now complete for a few days at least until some other bureaucracy throws papers at us – and embolism inducing demands for money from insane utility companies, the Northern Line continues to entertain.

Last night as we were travelling home to meet the management agents and sign our lives away, Furtle and I were privileged to share a portion of our journey between Charing Cross and Camden Town with a clone of Ronnie Wood circa 1973, complete with mullet, faded red flowery tee shirt, brown faux fur trim jacket, skin tight lycra (or whatever passed for lycra in the early 70s) leggings (I hesitate to call them trousers) over exceptionally thin chicken legs and boots. There was a faint air of patchouli and sweat, too. I imagine that he was the lead guitarist for a serious rock band just moving out of its glam phase.

Creepy Swedish Guy was out and about again this morning and I believe the phase of the moon is close to full. The wheely bag pattern tracers have their work cut out for them over the next few hours.

Feng Shooey

I don’t think these office chairs agree with me.

My legs are fine in the morning when I wander down to the station and I only get twinges after a tube journey if the carriage has been filled to the brim and I have had to sit with my legs twisted around to save having my feet trampled.

But after an hour or so sitting at my office desk, I am hobbling like an old man. My legs are all stiff and achey when I go to the coffee point or anywhere else. If I sit any differently however, to keep my legs from seizing up, it puts my back out slightly. I think I could do with my desk being about four inches higher above the ground and my chair adjusted accordingly. I suspect that I could get the chair from office services if I made enough noise under H&S, but the desk might be more problematic and I don’t want a new, higher chair along with a too low desk as I will be sitting typing at arms length, which seems to be a contributory factor to repetitive stress injury!

Offices are not safe places.
