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 [...]
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 [...]
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 was in Waterstones with my girly looking for some lightweight reading and Neil Gaiman’s “The Graveyard Book” caught my eye, but at nearly £13 for a smallish hardback (£15 if you want an adult edition, lol ) I decided I could get it cheaper as an ebook. When I got home I started looking, [...]
At the risk of going on about it… When I went to A&E to get the cast put on I was told that I’d have a “walking cast” put on the next week. Well guess what! It didn’t happen. A point blank refusal! So I’m still on crutches and hobbling around. No pain, well none [...]

Ouch ouch ouch OUCH! I had a little motorbike accident the otherday, skidded at low speed on some gravel at the end of the shared drive and “dropped” it, on my foot!. Very little damage to the bike since it was going very slow, but I twisted my foot round and got a painful sprain. [...]
No WoW last night! I upgraded Kaspersky to the latest and accidentally installed too much. Now I know from last year that my machine/drivers/whatever don’t like the full-on “please let me examine every web page and email and file and the contents of your pockets” Kaspersky, but they are OK with a simple little unintrusive [...]
I love gadgets, and better yet I’m not too old to learn how to use (most of) them. Unfortunately many of the gadgets I get lie around unused, I feel guilty, gadgets need love too. Here’s a brief rundown of recent (ish) gadgety purposes: Sony PRS505 eReader The latest gadget. It’s surprisingly good for what [...]
First off apologies for pulling this quote out of the guild forums, but I was seriously impressed. “with some praktisch and coördination” I love the fact that a normal englishman wouldn’t have written either of these words like that. Both not-English and scholarly English in one sentence! Tickled me.
