First things first, I’m typing this on my iPod, so the links will come tomorrow, as it’s just too fiddly. That’s a bit of a lie, I’m just being lazy The BBC regularly comes in for some stick over the license fee. There are times when I feel it’s justified (for example the current series [...]
…and in other news, the governments tractor production advisor was sacked for pointing out the facts that less tractors rolling off the production lines this year meant that tractor production was actually down, not up. Now that, obviously, wouldn’t happen. You would think that giving advice, backed up by facts and evidence, would not cost [...]
Blarg. Went for a pint after work, couldn’t finish my beer, came home, played a tiny bit of Brutal Legend (which is a cracking game BTW, very funny), then fell asleep. Wow, some days I really just shouldn’t bother with the blog…
Here’s five links for you. I request that you go and read them all, then come back and see what I’ve mumbled into the keyboard. link 1 link 2 link 3 link 4 link 5 After reading that lot, please check to see if you’re spitting feathers. If you aren’t, then please, give your head [...]
This morning, while still half asleep, and being unable to remember my google calendar password for my work google account, I was presented with possibly the best CAPTCHA ever. Nice and easy to read, but I’m not entirely certain that all that text will fit in the text box underneath. Still, it did remind me [...]

Checking through [...]
With the electrical work downstairs being completed yesterday, a lightswitch is now moved. This afternoon, the wall became no more. Ten minutes of fun, followed by an hour of cleaning up. Story of my life… Speaking of cleaning up, I took Amy out tonight to an interesting little place on Shaftesbury Avenue, on the fringes [...]
Finally, I’ve found the trick to making progress on the flat. Today, we spent the morning wandering round a museum, then this afternoon, we hung around in a pub drinking. This evening, when we came home, lots of new wiring and a new consumer unit. So if you want to make progress with renovations/decorating, go [...]
Ah, Friday, end of the week, and winding down to a nice relaxing weekend, starting with a nice lazy lie-in tomorrow morni{insert that needle being pulled off the record scratching sound here}… Ah, yes, Saturday, the day of getting up early because the electricians are coming round. Ah well, it’s worth giving up a morning’s [...]
Yeah, I watched it. That BBC Question Time with Nick Griffin. I’m watching This Week now, it’s a much better programme, but having viewed plenty of episodes of QI (when I had Sky, Dave was the default channel), it’s very odd watching Alan Davies being sensible and serious, rather than the fool, as he does [...]
