An interesting program on BBC 4 right now, it appears to be a "Docu-drama" (I dislike that term) about the reaction of the US' Security Council to certain hypothetical (but very possible and even likely) events around the world. It has potential to be really good. I might go for a bath instead of paying attention :)

Two other very interesting looking programs they have on in the next two days: "All the Russias" about music in Russia and "Bankrupt: Ray Gosling" - the story of a man who went bankrupt and how and why and so on and so on. Oh, and then there's "Time Shift: Watching You", regarding the shift of focus onto "Reality TV" on our TVs recently.

This looks interesting: BBC To Broadcast Beethoven

Oh, and I feel rich again! Hurray. Though I really need to move to a bank which is closer to, than Barclays is. Wonder if it'd be worthwhile opening a new account and just paying some off a month to Barclays? Hmm. Something to ponder.

I recommend moving to a new bank, and paying off the current. Sometimes the change is needed. And as I read somewhere, the major banks offer less than the new banks/ex building societies, i.e. you'd be better off making a new start. Have a scout around on the net, I think there is a site out there somewhere that allows you to compare and contrast facilities offered. :)

Not that you're biased or anything! :-)

I have no problems with the bank or their practices or anything like that. Really. As much as I may whinge about them charging me when I have a serious lack of self-control. And their phone / online banking service rocks.

What services might a bank offer that I would want? As long as I can put money in and take money out (preferably without a 45minute journey to do so) then I am happy. I don't yet want a mortgage, I don't want another overdraught. I don't want a loan.

Eh. I might just open an account for saving at a local bank and use that, then do transfers when/if I need to.
