Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

Location: Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

Ringtone adverts

Why do any voice-over artists for ringtone adverts have to have such high and squeaky voices ("only 50 p per tone"...).

Why on earth would you need up to 20 ring tones per month. That's 5 a week, so you'd change your ring tone nearly every day. Maybe its just because I loathe mobile phones, I only have one because Sam bought one to use abroad. Her Star Trek phone doesn't work abroad. However, I think that in the last year I have had about 5 phone calls or texts onto my phone and I have made about 10 calls out from it. The fact that I don't have any friends helps. It's cheap at least.

Also, why are the ringtone adverts the only ones which advertise on the satellite music channels, so in one ad break you get the exact same advert 3 or 4 times. I'd go and make a cup of tea except for the fact that I loathe that stuff as well.
