Strike One

Bridgewater Place, Leeds tallest building, is located opposite my office, just across the River Aire. This lunchtime it was struck by lightning.

Bridgewater lightning 

So powerful was this force of nature that the power to our building momentarily went off, causing lights to go out and computers to die.

That's great, were you waiting with camera poised just for that to happen ?

Currently Enjoying

Currently Boycotting

  • British Gas
    ...for massively overestimating our final bill, issuing a threatening debt collection letter (despite me calling them three times to tell them they got it wrong), making us pay the incorrect amount until they 'resolved' the problem, and then allowing another debt collection agency to write to us asking for a random amount. Since then, they have cold-called me a couple of times asking if I was interested in hearing about their current 'special offers'. Er, no thank you.
  • Clip Art
    ...for just being.
  • Coca Cola
    ...for their involvement in the kidnap, torture and murder of employees and union leaders at their columbian bottling plants. No, really!
  • Enterprise Rent-a-Car
    ...for telling me literally one hour before I was due to pick up a hired van that there was no van available.
  • Home Delivery Network
    ...for leaving a cardboard package full of books and DVDs in our back garden for over twenty-four hours, in the pouring rain. No common sense - it is noly through luck it was not totally damaged (or even stolen).
  • Nestle
    ...for continuing to promote their baby formula over breastfeeding in the world's poorer countries.
  • Plug-in Air Fresheners
    ...for being the biggest waste of the planet's resources. Does your room smell? Then why open a window when you can buy a small plastic device that requires further expense in re-fills and electricity?
  • UnicaHome
    ...for totally letting me down over Christmas; I ordered a product from them as a present for a friend in October; in December, they said they would finally ship it to me, but have not responded to my numerour emails since then. Utter cowboys.
