Meet the newest addition to the Meadow Towers family - Erik.

Time to take things to a slightly more serious place than they have been lately.
I’m not sure what the statistic is, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that one in three people has lost someone they care about to cancer, or knows someone who has fought cancer. For me, there were three people:

I love it when I rediscover an artist I had forgotten about. I used to be a big fan of Pink and for a while had her first album “Can’t Take Me Home” on constant playback. I loved her lyrics, I loved her music, I loved her attitude. I loved that people just couldn’t conceive [...]

Ok, I’m quietly having a nightmare here.
Mail refuses point blank to open, so I can’t get into any of my mail accounts. I’m in the process of setting up Thunderbird, and doing fancy things with forwards etc, but I have to go out in *checks watch* 15 minutes, so I really don’t have time to [...]

If I ask you all very nicely will you try and be nice to people in call centres?
