Subject: I went to Blackpool once
In reply to: andypandy 's message, "Decisions decisions..........." on 11:07:32 11/21/08 Fri

I think an entire weekend of cleaning the toilet would be preferable. Most horrible and depressing place I've ever been. The whole place stank of chip fat.

I have no idea what I'm doing this weekend. Heavy snow is forecast for the whole weekend, so I may not be venturing out very far at all. Also I'm a little behind schedule with the project I'm currently working on (a super low-bandwidth site for Rolex -- primarily for the Chinese market (no broadband) and mobile users),so maybe I'll just stay in the warm and do some work.

I need to find a proper apartment here, but I'm stuck in the classic Catch-22 of not being able to get an apartment without a French bank account, and not being able to get a French bank account without an apartment (they want proof of paying for utility bills and such, and the tiny studio apartment I'm being put up in is a freebie from the company, so I don't have any bills, and no proof that I even live there).

surely that would be proof enough to enable you to open an account?

I really don't think I'll be going to Blackpool, can't face it to be honest, I quite agree its a horrible place, why my relative had to go and buy a gift shop there I don't know, she would have been much better off in Keswick in the Lake District, she had an opportunity to buy a small tea/gift shop there but decided on Blackpool, god knows why, I would certainly been a regular visitor to Keswick, its a lovely place. Also the weather forecast is bad here too, don't fancy travelling in heavy snowstorms if they can be avoided thank you very much.

I think I'm just going to snuggle down this weekend go with the flow, I also will be taking some work home, can't concentrate today, the students are very noisy and demanding, little pests.
