... And the wires are supposed to be a bit higher up than this. Astonishingly, so far the effect has been the internet dropping from 27 to 19mbps. |

The Shrunken Heads have been removed from display at Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum. Always a highlight of a visit, particularly when you would stumble upon them unexpectedly, but I can understand how their display was a little too colonialist and disrespectful. |

I've been asked to do some filming in Halifax on Friday which is a couple of hours away from here so that's all good. Even better is that the Arcade Club in Bury is on the way home so I'm going to pop in there and spend my Friday night playing arcade games. Ace! |

I take an hour for lunch every day because I'm supposed to AND because we (all the mobile engineers) have been told we can't work through our lunch break and finish our shift early. I never used to take an hour before we TUPEd over from Foojitsoo, but I now really enjoy the break, particularly if I'm out in the wilds of the north west. But recently the hour feels longer and longer. I always set my phone timer for 55 mins to make sure I don't over run, but I'll often check it to make sure it's still running. |

I'm glad about it now because even though my current employer leaves a lot to be desired, driving around the north west, listening to music at their expense and fixing stuff is a lot less stressful. |

Don't think it brought any bookings either, but just trying random shit and seeing what sticks to start with. Instagram is where all the business has come from for the past few weeks, so in terms of bang for buck we'll carry on with that. Saves me having to traipse around! |

It looks like I am claiming for the crash, which is a bonus Quote: Vehicle Registration: WN65 SXP
Accident: 4 June 2020 We have now received a response from the Insurer of the driver that caused the accident and we are pleased to say that liability has been admitted. Based on the medical report of Dr Majid Abdulla dated 4 August 2020 I would value your claim for injury at £2200 to £2500. You therefore have two options. The first option is that we proceed to settle your claim now based on Dr Abdulla’s report. However if we do settle your claim now and you do not recover in line with Dr Abdulla’s report we will be unable to investigate this further. If you wish to settle your claim now I would recommend that we put forward an offer to accept £2500 personal injury plus financial losses. The second option if you wait until you have fully recovered before proceeding to settle your claim. Please confirm how you wish to proceed. Yours sincerely |
