So we've been here over a week now, and we're settling in nicely. We have our own desk-bench for two, which hev is very excited about (apparently she's never had her own desk before...) We're both trying to get our heads around exactly what we're going to be doing, and how we're going to do it. Hev's really going to have to start from scratch. HIV is apparently a pretty big problem here, but it's not a very visible problem, nor is it one which most people want to talk or think about.

I've just come across an article entitled AOL wants to sell internet to the dead.

The gist of it is that someone's mother was killed in a car crash, they rang up to cancel their mother's AOL account, and just kept getting the 'what can we do to retain your custom?' spiel.

Don't these people listen? She's deceased, this here is an ex-AOL user.

Apparently they wanted the mother to cancel the account herself. The mind boggles.

Scumbags...

As you may be aware, Heather and I are off to Cameroon for a year in July.

Why's that? I hear you say. Well, I'll tell you.

We're going to be volunteering for a small NGO called Helps international (Hint).

Hint's mission is to improve the social and economic well-being and health of the poor and underprivileged in the local society though education, skills development and job creation.

So Dennis Wise has agreed to become Swindon manager. This is pretty harsh on Iffy Onoura, who I think did a pretty good job considering we were rooted to the bottom of the league on the back of eight straight loses when he took over.

I can see why they've gone for Wise: big name, bums on seats, as Iffy said himself.

I can also see that Wise may (may) do a good job (he did alright at Millwall).

What I can't figure out is why on earth Wise would take the position...
