Go Cardless, Indeed!

Last week saw me doing a bit of research on direct debits, a way to enable institutions, usually, to take money out of your bank account. I am not a financial adviser and will not be offering any such advice here. I write only because I stumbled upon a site called Go Cardless (link, if you're interested). The very notion struck me as being utterly preposterous and anti cardiganist. Go cardless? But, but, I always wear a card. Really, absolutely, most of the time.

A little confession. It has been quite warm here in the north west the last few days, so I've only managed to wear one in the evenings. Even that has been more out of a sense of duty than any real challenge to thermal homoeostasis (online Oxford dictionary offers that as a proper spelling. Might be a bit archaic, in which case, good!).

Red Arnold Palmer

I’ve settled on a red Arnold Palmer golf number from back in the days when I seemed always to be buying them on Ebay in the US. Orlon is such a seductive material (sarcasm, they tell me, is very difficult to convey on the web so I leave that one as an exercise for the reader).

Which reminds me, here are the answers to last weeks quiz for those of you who partook. I've had to wade through literally no replies, so here are the answers.

• A. Less than twenty seconds, but it only had five buttons
• 2. Vigorously from behind.
• iii. Dry cleaning, obviously.

Nobody actually completed the limerick, “There was a young man in a cardigan...”, so the prize goes unawarded.

That Go Cardless site might be of some interest, they claim to be cheaper than Paypal.

I'd rather you were too.
