Random Musings - Day #317
After work, I stayed up in Glasgow and visited the nice gym at the Glasgow Caledonian University. Unfortunately, the gym closed at 7:30 when I got there at 6:45. However, the guy there waivered the entrance fee of 4 pounds. Later, the weather took a turn for the worse and barely got out of the hotel but did end up going to the alea casino!

Random Musings - Day #89
Glasgow
I could swear I have stayed in Glasgow before but I didn't recognise the part of Glasgow I was in. All I remember was Shanghai Shuffle on Bath Street, which is on the west part of the city centre. This time I was staying near the central station at the Buchanan Hotel, which was cheap and rustic but very nice for me. One place, we didn't visit to go karaoke was Madness Theatre of Fun.
Glasgow would be a good to visit with a bunch of friends for the nightlife!

Random Musings - Day #88
UK Singles Chart
"Poker Face" stays at #1 for a second week as the Noisettes debut at #2 with "Don't upset the rhythm". Flo-ri-da continues to drop back at #3. Look for KIG to move up from #18 with a song that been in clubs for the last month or two, "Head shoulders, knees and toes"
Glasgow
I went up to Glasgow for work on a late night flight. My colleague and I went to the same Frankie and Benny's and the waitress remembered us from last time. It wasn't my colleague's good looks (or mine for that matter). It was the fact, he almost lost his boarding pass there.
Anyways the flight was delayed by an hour and got there late. Not pleased with Easyjet on that front. I should get work to travel by BA. Particularly, I've still got a BA card.

Random Musings - Day #84
Live Messenger vs ZoneAlarm Free
I've recently encountered problems with running Live Messenger behind a ZoneAlarm Firewall. Everything used to be fine and dandy until one day I couldn't connect to Live Messenger. After troubleshooting, messenger was claiming 'key' ports could not be accessed, which fingerpointed the problem at ZoneAlarm. I updated Live Messenger to find it work. But it soon stopped working again with the same problem. I've updated ZoneAlarm now and things are ok for the moment.
Rochester/Strood
Sir Thomas Longley was born in Rochester and was the Archbishop of Canterbury. A couple of things to do around Strood include Diggerland and Monkey Bizz.
Gambling on irony
It's ironic that former Arsenal legend Paul Merson has had his fair share of gambling addiction is the new face of Betterbet.
Apparently Merson is good friend with the main man there.
Shrewd Jade
It looks like Jade Goody saved a million in taxes as she got married before her death. The inheritance tax of 40% has been by-passed as her spouse Jack Tweed can pass on the money to her kids.

Glasgow Gyms
Heading of to Glasgow, next week and cheap hotel with a gym appears to be the Swallow Hotel. However that is two miles away from the city centre.
A couple of gyms seen include The griphouse and Morrison's Gym
