My new UK Neteller account.



I needed to create a new Neteller account, why ?

Well I tell you why.

I didn't relise this utill I tried to login into my account last week.

The account was locked, why?

Well, because I was trying to access it via a non-australian IP.

At first I was pissed, like this is the whole point of Neteller and the Internet, that you can access your account world wide.

Apparently there is this layer of security.

So I was forced to create a UK Neteller account (in GBP) and my old Australia account was closed.

But this aint to bad, as I can now withdraw funds directly from my Neteller account directly into my UK bank account.

This was not possible with my Australian Neteller account.

If I wanted to withdraw funds in Australia, I had to transfer funds to my debit card (which incurs a fee), then withdraw the funds via a maestro ATM (which incurs a fee).

Unlock Your Shot At Mort



I came across this banner whilst searching for the 2006 WSOP Tv Schedule for a new site i'm working on Poker.tv.

The banner was advertising an ESPN NFL draft promo where you get a chance to win a 42-inch HDTV which or course you will be watching the NFL Draft on presented by Chris "Mort" Mortensen.

When I first saw the ad I thought someone had finally made a dating site exclusivly for having a "shot" at mort.

Flat 23, 12 Leinster Gardens W2 6DR

Flat 23, 12 Leinster Gardens W26DR

This is my new address for the next 6 months.

Work had me in a place in East London for a month, so I was close to work near Canary Wharf. However I was still pretty far out on the East, it took a 40 mins DLR ride from the apartment to work.

I had heard that West London is the place to be. Lots of things to do and see and you get to see the old London style Terrace's.

East London is more of a free for all in building architecture. The newer apartments look quite modern and generaly you are getting more space for your pounds. Plus the number of levels in the building seems unresticted.

Whereas West London still looks the same as when the Terrace's were first built years ago. The country side seems lovely and there are many pubs, parks and shops to explore.

Where I am now is a 2 min walk to Hyde Park and Kensington Palace. I may be a bit too central as it seems very "touritsy" at the moment. Everyday people are checking in to the local Hotels in my area.

I had to comprise on the travel time to and from work, any further west was just adding more time and would have made me get up earlier and get home later.

Ok so the flat.

It is very small.

A tiny little studio that just fits in my guns.

It will do for now, it has all I need, including bed, kitchen, bathroom, internet access and Sky TV including my favourite channels, Sky Sports 1,2 & 3.

Here are some pics of the studio or should I say shoebox.

And finally the most thing the tv.
