I’ve been a regular user of our local public library for a couple of months now. I’m really enjoying the fact that I can get some decent books to read and not have to cough up any cash to do so. (cheapskate, I know!) But hey I pay my taxes so I should at least get some free entertainment in return.

The last few borrowings have been by Mark Billingham.

They all revolve around the career of DI Tom Thorne, a typically miserable and unconventional copper. I was hooked from the first book I read. They’re a great read, even if like me, you’re reading them in reverse chronological order (one of the down sides of public libraries, I have to take whats there).

Just happened to glance across at my crime poll. I know it’s only got 4 votes (which is quite high for my usual polls) but it seems a worrying trend so far. 100% crime victims!

If you happened to hit a yes on the poll, do you feel like posting a comment to say what kind of crime.

I’ve been down to London for the last two days for an SEO conference, which went rather well, hopefully we’ll garner something useful from it to help boost site traffic.

Secondly, I had the great opportunity to meet up with Mark of BritBlog fame. We had a great chat, a good few beers and a nice chinese. Was really great fun and hope we’ll be able to meet up again at some point in the future.

The downside….

Some fucker pickpocketed me and stole my mobile and PDA. Bastards…

Is nothing sacred, if it’s not taped down they’ll fucking have it. I wouldn’t care but they were in my inside, zipped up, coat pocket. I mean how ????

Well it got reported, but I imagine nothing will come of it. I’m just another MET statistic now.

Life goes on….
