Oh dear!

You guys have not been following my instructions.

We have had another funeral, that is 3 this year and it is 3 too many.

All you people out there get a crip on yourselves, get down to a normal weight and keep it that way, not a certain way of cheating death but it will probably help. So sign up now to some regular, formal exercise, give up smoking and worrying about your weight and enjoy your life.

No change at the bank

Last year I posted on the subject of the banks in general giving a poor interest for a year then reducing it to even less without advising one. Things have improved, they now warn you that you about to be fleeced, provided you can find your way round the paperwork. There are reasonable rates around that are tolerably safe but this writer can only say that you have to find them, you might try looking at the side of your old family bible.

This year, 2011, we have had two funerals, albeit one was an ex member, that is enough for this year so all you former professional people, keep healthy, ruin the undertakers.

BEWARE! Bankers trying to catch you

A long term friend who is normally very money wise found that his tax free ISA which had started at a touch over 3% had been reduced to under 1% and no one had told him! Now there is a surprise. Your editor had mentioned the possibility almost casually but old Jack was into his bank within an hour and got the matter reorganised to 2.5%, had he gone to a bank with the name of a Spanish town he could have got 2.75% but he likes to keep his affairs simple so he stayed with a bank that sounds a bit Welsh.

Joke of the week

During a recent password audit at the Bank of
Ireland it was found that
Paddy O'Toole was using the following :-
MickieMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonalGoofyDublin.
When Paddy was asked why he had such a long
password he replied,"Bejazus,
are ye feckin' stupid? Shore Oi was told me
password had to be at least 8
characters long and include one capital!

Successful Trial

Third time this evening and I got in without difficulty, it remains to be seen if others can.

The purpose of this blog is to enable members of the club to pass information around and that way possibly do without the quarterly magazine 'Whats on'. Or it may be that this will act as a monthly supplement to keep members right up to date. Others may have other suggestions, above all else it is not intended to be an ego trip for either the editor or any member, I want it to be interesting for members firstly but others secondly.

I seem to have got the italic problem solved, there is still a problem with a password but I will keep on trying.
