I should have added this earlier but you know how it is. Unless your a hardened blogger these things seem to escape you so easily. Further to my rant about the congestion charge, I returned to London a couple of weeks later. This time for pleasure, the Guns n Roses concert at the O2 arena.

I had the misfortune to visit London a couple of days ago. For those of you that are not familiar with this country. There is an area in central London (The Congestion Charge Zone ) that you cannot drive your car in without pay a fee ( £8 ) called, funnily enough, the congestion charge. There is no getting away from it. There are cameras everywhere and it works on numberplate recognition. I was under the illusion that the idea of the congestion charge was to reduce the congestion in the centre of London. Silly me.

My mobile phone provider failed to take May's payment out of the bank by the direct debit that is set up for them. I don't normally get involved in these things at it goes out of my wife's bank account. She said that sometimes they missed a month but took 2 payments out the following month. Ok, that's not a problem we'll let them do that. Mean while there were a couple of problems at the bank and the direct debits got screwed up. Also not a problem. We set up a new direct debit, registered it online with the phone company and informed them by phone.

This one isn't a whinge, spleen vent, hatred type entry. It's a step back in amazement type entry. I'm still on the subject of BFBC2. Get used to it, I play the game a lot, and will continue to do so until I reach rank 50. Which will probably be some time yet as I am not the world's greatest player. In fact looking at the leaderboard will tell you I'm not even in the world's greatest top ten thousand players.

I've never tried blogging before. I thought I might give it a go and see what it's like. It's actually going to be a bit of a spleen vent as well. A chance to put down on virtual paper, things that piss me off.
