Forum is down

Cunardcritic's forum is currently down. My apologies, I do not know what is going on, but am hoping that IF are doing their best to sort this out.

Hmmmmmm

It seems that I have been remiss in my blog posting, but as it seems to be only me reading it, that is not so much of a problem!

I am awaiting the result from the exam I took in May. It will come tomorrow, and tell me whether I have finally passed all of the exams I need to become a qualified accountant. As per normal, I have convinced myself I will fail. If I do fail, I will not be surprised, but if I have somehow managed to pass, it will be a complete bonus!

My forum and website is going well and the Cunard cabin gallery is in full swing. it can be found at: http://cunardcritic.co.uk/Pages/cabinarchive.html

I am trying to get at least two cabins in every grade added to all three Ships galleries. Time consuming, but if you are interested in the Cunard ships, very useful.

Fuel protest in Manchester, so if you are travelling to the airport on the M56 around 9am, go earlier!

That's all for now.

Well, the Honda passed it's MOT. Total cost for the rectifications and the test fee came to £165.00.

My car had better bloody pass without issue!

Trees that blow in the night

Next door to us, the owner has not tended his back garden for at least 20 years. I will post a picture later that shows the state of it later.

With one tree measuring in at around 100ft, our garden is now bereft of light during the late afternoon / early evening. After speaking to him last year regarding the trees, he told me that he was "keeping the garden like that for the birds". Rubbish. He is keeping the garden like that because he cannot be bothered doing anything about it. It is an annoyance that we are not happy living with any more! I have spoken to the council, but they are no help. Next stop is to speak to the neighbour again. If I get no joy from that, I may have to resort to legal means. Apparently the oft berated (by me) Human Rights Act has some parts that could be useful!

Once I have his trees sorted out, I will then turn my attention to my own garden. Any ideas? (It is in a complete mess!!!)

A new communication from Cunardcritic!

This is the personal blog from the webmaster at www.cunardcritic.co.uk. Whilst this will not be about Cunard, the two projects are likely to be inextricably linked.

This one will be used for more personal things, like work, home, and things we do.

We, by the way, are James, Alex and our little boy, Leo.

I will send pictures from my phone when I think they are worthy of publication!
