The Book Shop
Wednesday, November 19, 2008

Saturday, and we took a half day out to go to Lloret de Mar and visit our friend in "The Book Cupboard" and followed that up with a visit to our favourite Indian restaurant. The owner of The Book Cupboard is Kevin Allcoat and he explained how at this time of year the tourists go away, nobody really visits the town so he is always on the lookout for new ways of expanding his horizons. Well as a blatant plug, take a look at his website and see, he offers a mail order service as well so you do not need to go all the way to Lloret de Mar to buy a book. Searching For A Book is where you will find him.

 

The Indian food was great too!!

eBay gives buyers cash back!
Wednesday, November 12, 2008

This seems to be a very good idea and it will help offset that recent increase in pricing that eBay sneaked in the back door. Yes of course joining by the link below will help me, but it will help you too in the long run if you are a regular eBay buyer.


Earn money when your friends shop on eBay

How did SPAM start.. A quick history lesson.
Monday, November 10, 2008

The first recorded case of Internet spam was an email sent over the ARPANET by Carl Gartley on behalf of Gary Thuerk. Thuerk wanted to promote some open houses in the Los Angeles area that would be showcasing the latest Digital Equipment Corp. computers. Despite inducing some sales of the computer, the overall reaction was largely negative. It did, however, land him in the Guinness World Records as the Father of Spam.

Another joke just arrived in my inbox.
Monday, November 10, 2008

California vintners in the Napa Valley area, which primarily produce Pinot  Blanc, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new  hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic. It is expected  to reduce the number of trips older people have to make to the  bathroom during the night.

The new  wine will be marketed as Pinot More.

Joke of the week.
Monday, November 3, 2008

This joke landed in my inbox this morning from a friend in the UK and I just cannot resist copying it here for you.

Young girl goes with her Father to the barbers and stands beside him eating a cake while get has a trim. "You'll get hair on your muffin" he says. "Yes Daddy, & Mummy says I'll get breasts too!!"

Sorry, but I thought it was funny.......
