This is what I bought at the boot fair yesterday, but was too traumatised to write about because of squished finger:It's a valet like this one, but a bit nicer I think. It looks older than it is and I've no idea what wood it's made out of, it's been ...

Google are you taking the piss?

Been getting this captcha thing from google all day, it's because we work in a big office and all share an IP address, so to the outside world it looks like lots of traffic from one computer. Honest though, there are hundreds of us here.This time I t...
