In my capacity as a high-flying City slicker, I am sometimes called upon to travel the globe and dispense justice in my own inimitable fashion. It was in this capacity I spent three days last week holed up in various travel lodges in Newcastle, Aberdeen, topped off by a meaty 12 hours or so kicking my heels round Leeds-Bradford Airport. Never go to Leeds-Bradford Airport. That's all I'll say on that one. Aberdeen is quite nice though. I can see why Donald Trump is sinking a billion into a golf complex up there. As some of you may know, I am not a big fan of flying though, so four flights in three days (in planes with propellers in three cases) was not the most fun I have had. Still, by the fourth flight I was starting to get used to it again.
So what else is new this week? Had my bad day at work, which was followed by the discovery that I had contracted a pox virus whilst I was away in Warsaw (no spots but tingly fingers and a throat ulcer..mmmm...). Was advised to rest but justice doesn't wait for pox viruses you know. Anyway, pretty much back to normal now. Well, you know what I mean.
Still, one ray of light in my otherwise crappy week: the taxman has condescended not to enforce the penalty he imposed on me for not filing a tax return. The fact that this arose from a letter sent to me by the taxman which told me I didn't need to file a tax return is of course irrelevant..
Anyway, time for my bath. My enthusiasm for diatribes on DVD boxsets and snow in April has now left me, and frankly if oyu logged on for that you need to get out more. Might be a Monday post next week due to my hectic social diary, but I am sure you can stand the suspense.

Hmmm, a tax penalty for a er....tax lawyer. Now that would be embarrassing wouldn't it ?
Yes, but I had "a word"...
There is indeed a great choice. I’m glad you have found this site useful Thanks for sharing!
