I've drive home to the country side for a holiday.
so far have had a lovely welcome from my parents and the kitties, have finished my book, and have had promising job searches come up. Tomorrow I will be going swimming and then doing not very much.

This week I are mostly...
... Working on a project/new product design for the Germsns. I will also be looking after my G/F after she has her knees injected with cortisone on wednesday.
Alt: Overdue a Knighthood? Gez McGovern, design director of Jaguar Landrover for designing the vehicles that got them out of the shit and into profit. He's a Coventry boy, went to my school (as did Clive Owen the actor).

I will be going to the Central Ticket Office in Birmingham to sign a statement that:-
I am not Mr Zeoma Orlukwu.
Mr Zeoma Orlukwu does not live at this adress and never has.
I have not registered a vehicle (Ford Focus Zetec reg no BL05FNR)at this address under the pseudonym Mr Zeoma Orlukwu.
I expect this could take some time.
