		<title>Do other people find &#8220;plz&#8221; rude?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[GA guys, There&#8217;s something that&#8217;s been bugging me at work and I wonder if it&#8217;s just me.  When people in the workplace are writing on their PC, either in email or in some kind of instant messaging, they always use abbreviations like &#8220;ga&#8221; for good afternoon, &#8220;gm&#8221; for good morning&#8221;, &#8220;pl&#8221; or &#8220;plz&#8221; for please and &#8220;tx&#8221; or &#8220;ty&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>7 Meard Street &#8211; Nope, no prostitutes here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I was walking to Princi with a friend of mine yesterday which is a hideously overpriced but really delicious cafe / restaurant in Soho and I passed this door. I really wonder what would make a landlord go to all that trouble to put up a sign like this? I say landlord, because the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not so sharp as a tack</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I swear that I&#8217;m losing it. I&#8217;ve been on a diet since August and since I&#8217;d been doing so well this week and last, I decided to treat myself to Shakeaway which is my favourite milkshake place. I looked on the website for Shakeaway Croydon which is the closest Shakeaway to my place since the [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;401.3 Access denied by ACL on resource&#8221; IIS &#8211; finally found a solution!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so I was trying to build my website on IIS (Microsoft&#8217;s Internet Information Services) and I kept getting Access denied by ACL on resource at a certain point. Every single google search result said &#8220;check the permissions on your folder&#8221;, and there was never a follow-up post. Needless to say, it didn&#8217;t work for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Indefinite Leave to Remain appointment in Croydon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally after being in the UK for five years, I get to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain. Actually, I&#8217;ve been here five and a half years, but the first half a year was on a Working Holiday visa and so didn&#8217;t count. A month ago I booked an appointment for 3:30pm for today&#8217;s date [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chances of me getting hit by satellite debris are 1 in 3200? Ummm&#8230; wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been updating my blog for a while, but I came across this story in the NZ Herald and had to vent my frustration. This quote in particular annoys me: Experts say there is a one-in-3200 risk of the six-ton space junk hitting someone &#8211; considerably greater than the chances of winning Lotto, at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spain and Portugal for Easter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just realised that I wrote this on 27 April, but never published it because I was waiting for photos. But since I&#8217;ll probably never get around to the photos, here it is. My birthday was during the easter long weekend this year, so rather than sit and hide in the corner like I do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big fan of Take Me Out =X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a very big fan of the UK version of Take Me Out (the Australian equivalent &#8220;Taken Out&#8221; is booorrringgggg). I&#8217;ve seen each of the 22 episodes at least three times, I think it&#8217;s funny and the host Paddy McGuiness is hilarious. No likey, no lighty! The way it works is that a guy is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been past Cotall St since I wrote this post &#8211; the most commented on post on my blog by far, that was over 18 months ago. But I went past there last week&#8230; and everything&#8217;s gone.]]></description>
