The Innerleven Boolin Club Life in the fast rink. | The blog has just been updated to V3.0 and the theme has also been updated. As a result,the header graphics have been returned to the default pics. Annoying … Will soon bring back the proper pics and do the long-needed changes to makeit easier to access the main tachras site and the Dave Book [...] The Luxor at Las Vegas I am working at it. Honest! Between the hell of return to work and trying to catch up on three weeks work left in the hands of others ( less inclined,shall we say …),and a whole mess of other things,I’ve not managed to do a [...] Back in the UK again. Was unable to find decent Internet facilities in Lake Tahoe ( journalism tends to falter at $1 a minute –$10 minimum –when using the business facilities in Harrah’s Casino! ),so the rest of the Nevada series had to wait till I got home ( and recovered from [...] During the journey on the Metro,I had imagined the warm welcome awaiting me when I reached the home of the friends who were to give me hospitality.

Try to check your seat. Virgin [...] Getting Near … Not long now. Just three weeks. And the Disaster Sweepstake is up and running. Icelandic volcanoes with unpronounceable names,dust clouds,awkward airlines. ( I am truly grateful NOT to be flying Ryanair or Malaysian Airlines –there is always one,and in this case two! Don’t tick their boxes. ) [...] Tesco:Taking away without the owner’s permission. In the UK,if some yob drives away with your car,you cannot call it ‘stealing’. As the yob does not ‘intend to permanently deprive you of your property’,it is not ‘theft’,it is ‘taking away without the owner’s permission’. If you buy petrol from a Tesco [...] Getting Ready Next month,we’ll be off on a trip ……to Nevada. The one in the USA,for anyone who is not sure. And every week,I’ll be posting a letter.
