Just two days left at work and then 12 days off for Christmas. Woohoo. In fact, 1 and a half days now…

It’s amazing what excuses people will make up to avoid doing things or paying for things. This article on the BBC News site caught my eye.

It didn’t take long after the Katrina hurricane for the scam web sites to appear – I’ll not list any because that will just give them exposure. Suffice to say that people are profitting on “donations” to the relief funds – of course the money never makes it to where it’s needed.

After the dreadful events in the southern US, please be wary of so-called relief funds springing up all over the place from little-known organisations. Most of these are scams and use PayPal to collect money. Though they may look official, it’s unlikely the money you donate will ever reach those who need it.

It’s cold, wet and foggy out there Just driven back from Crawley and could hardly see where I was going.

On this day in 1997, scientists claimed to have found pieces of the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs. Isn’t that interesting.

I need sleep. Having tried to watch to the end of Vanilla Sky last night (gave up, was a crap film) I then couldn’t sleep, despite being very tired.
