Every day I ride my motorbike up a small road to see to my horses. This road has been getting progressively worse and worse over the past year or so. So when I found a site where I could report holes I started to use it.
So far I’ve reported two of the worst holes and [...]
It’s taken as a given in the UK that the French are “touchy” about their language and don’t like it when it’s not used correctly. This is in any sort of “formal” activity, I suspect that they are generally quite pleased when an ignorant englishman makes the effort to actually speak it.
The question that came [...]
I just want to write this so I have something to remind me, already it’s fading.
Woke up this morning knowing that there might be some snow, and looking out the window, yes, there it was. A thin coating on the ground outside the house. Nothing too serious, the main road is certain to be clear. [...]
Whee!
Today, for the first time this year, I rode into work on a motorbike! I am chuffed! no more hanging around waiting for trains. My working day has just got an hour shorter!
It’s not my bike though, it’s Sue’s new R1150R! What a monster, massively overpowered, but there were very sound reasons for buying it. To whit: [...]
Over christmass I went to see Avatar with my girlfriend. This is the first film I’ve ever seen in 3D.
Let me say this, 3D does not make up for a poor plot. Everywhere people seem to be going “3D is the next big step since colour”. I’m afraid I’m not convinced. I guess this is [...]
It’s been quite a while since I last posted, soz. So what has happened in the World of Rummy??
I’ve reread some of this rambling and it comes fair and sqaure under the category of “Content Free”.
Before crimbo we went and bought a new motorbike, just in time for all the snow to fall, so much [...]
Sue was visiting a bunch of news sites the other night, trying to find something or other about Strictly Come Dancing, when suddenly a notepad window popped open with random looking text in it, starting with the dangerous MZ characters and including some text or other about “this program cannot be run in DOS mode”. [...]
I was watching Stargate Universe last night, so far I’m doubting it will go to a second season. But last night had me raging in bed – I was supposed to be grabbing some low energy TV before sleepy time.
The “main” plot was about how 40,000 litres of water had dissapeared and the trip to [...]
First off: here’s a link that’s going to die….
Ocado are selling something called Marshmallow Fluff. What amuses me is the text:
Spread directly on toast, scones or tea cakes as part of a balanced breakfast.
Oh yeah, that’s really going to “balance” your breakfast!

And then I had a smile at the BBC article on How dangerous is [...]
Boo! Another monday and we all know that that means I scrape the bottom of my brain to see if there are any soggy half baked concepts that could do with a bit of an airing.And also that I’ll probably end up just writing another wot-i-done-in-my-holidays post.
So, yeah, where was I? Oh yeah, wot I [...]
