general | A bit of this and a bit of that

Oh for some more time

I’ve had the opportunity to help a number of people this week, from people who had problems with the anti-virus on their computer, to others who’s phone had just stopped working. Unfortunately, I couldn’t fix everyone’s problems, some were just too great. I like the fact that I can help people sometimes, not that I’m…

Who is Owen Cutajar?

Have you ever typed your name into Google? Isn’t it interesting what comes up? Some of my websites come up in my case, but I guess I’m quite lucky because I have a pretty unusual name. I would hate to be a John Smith and try to look for myself on Google. It’s amazing really…

Car Insurance Dilemma

Hmmm I just noticed that my car (the Jaguar not the BMW) isn’t taxed at the moment as the tax expired at the end of September. The problem is that I need to show my car insurance to get my new tax disc. And my insurance doesn’t get renewed till next week. Bit silly really,…

Great lunch today

Went out with James and Nick for lunch today and we ended up at the Velvet Lobster. Was great but I noticed they didn’t have have Wifi or any sort of Internet access, which was a bit of a shame. With technologies like WiMax and satellite internet services, there really is no excuse, even if…

Books to read

Looking for a rental?

TV in the bedroom?

I’ve been wondering for some time whether we should stick a TV in the bedroom. Today’s LCD screens are compact enough for it not to require too much space, but I’m not sure I’d like us to be the sort of couple who spends the whole evening in bed watching TV. Fitting one in won’t…

Study Schedule going as planned

Phew, 3 days of hard swotting so far, and I’ve done 3 chapters from my Organisational Behaviour book. If I keep this up I might just get my head around all the stuff I need to pass my exam. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Tweet

Camille and Arthur heading to Malta

I’m alone again at home, because Camille and Arthur have gone down to Malta for the latest general election. I’m not resident in Malta any more, so don’t really have a vote but Camille spends enough time there. It’s nice that you can get cheap flights nowadays as it would have cost a bomb otherwise….
