The machine took my card off me and chewed it up. I was gob smacked and slightly irritated. I went straight home and when I got there, there was a letter from the bank saying something like ' On such a b ...[text shortened]... selected deposit and filled the envelope with my supper then shoved it in the slot. SPLURGE. 😛

As I can't run right now, I'm swimming 3 times a week to keep my fitness up.

I gotta say I feel really good for it and am improving (my front crawl was pathetic when I started). Tonight (as part of my drills) I swam 100meters non-stop on crawl arms alone (with a pull-float to hold my legs still). It doesn't sound like much but it is a massive improvement for me 😀

Learn to Swim!!!

I think they were being a bit sarcastic with the 'didn't correspond with the actual amount deposited' comment. I received a further letter after this saying that my card had been cancelled due to a certain occurence, and if I would like a new one i was welcome to go into my local branch to see my manager. I dodged around this by going into the branch in central Manchester with some ID and telling them that I had lost my card and needed a replacement. I was a little worried for a while that thye might charge me for the damage caused to the ATM machine, but fortunately, this did not occur. I'm sure I have already paid for it though, in unsolicited bank charges. My only regret is that some poor cashier had to process this goo on a Saturday morning. Ooooooooooooh! 😛

I hate litterers. Last summer a girl pulled up to her parking space at the apartment complex and couldn't put her ciggerette out cause her ashtray was full. So she flicked the butt out on the pavment and THEN PROCEEDED TO DUMP THE ENTIRE ASHTRY IN THE PARKING LOT!

ARGH!!! She got in the door before I could yell at her. I turned her license # in to the manager but I don't think they bothered to do anything. 😠

Isn't this a bit out of character, Bowmann. I mean I am a big fan, but this statement just seems to invoke a sense of foolishness on your part, when in fact, you are quite intelligent.
