Waste paper

Does anyone else ever wonder how much waste paper must be generated through unsolicited mail (ours goes straight in the re-cycling bin, unopened).  What would happen if everyone put it back in a post box with return to sender on it? 

Would it clog the system up so much that the Post Office services would not be able to cope and would they then start to charge the senders for their time in delivering it? Who knows but that is where my mail is going and if enough people do it it just may make them reconsider.

Iron Man event in Bolton

I watched the local news reports on both BBC and Granada last night (Monday 5th @ 18.00/18.30hrs) and found it unbelievable that they did not mention this event on either channel.  I found this to be very sad day for reporters.

Iron Man Event in Bolton

Congratulations to all the competitors who travelled from as far away as New Zealand, South Africa and Belgium to name a few as well as our very own from all over the UK.  It was a great achievement to all and to think some actually finished in under 10 hours.

The three amigos' or from Right to Left Dan, Edward And Myself on holiday last year September 2009 at a place called "Los Gigantes" in Tenerife. For myself and Edward it was too hot, hence the towel on my head and Edward who stayed in nappie trunks only for most of the holiday (except at breakfast) and Dan who stayed cool as a cucumber throughout the whole week and even wore jim jams at night with a blanket.
There is no real reason for publishing this photograph in relation to work but I think all our expressions are quite funny and it is something I just wanted to share for prosperity.
