What's Doing

I’ve just finished reading a book. Steady on now folks, its not that much of a surprise as I have read a few in my time. Anyway, I would just like to use this little web site to urge you all to read it. The author is a chap called John Birmingham, author of such [...]

Thanks in no small part to Mr Templeton I have been tipped over the edge. Bad writing, inappropriate use of words, the English language is a mess. But thats how it develops and grows, and is a large part of the reason that it is the lingua franca of the modern world. Well, that and [...]

Marvellous. I’m now on the intarweb 24 hours a day. Needless to say Bobo is desolate.

I’ve been following the progress of Kingfisher 2 via the wonders of the intarweb for the last three weeks. Everything was looking good and then this happened. Luckily all of the crew are fit and healthy and on the plus side they will at least get a wash and a hot meal slightly earlier than [...]

There has been an update at Bobo’s Babblings. In it she describes why my life is so great. They key word here is "glowing", every time I use it in the vicinity of my beloved I get a slap. Can’t think why
On the good news front I’ve got a updated demo version of this web-site [...]

I love the internet. If it didn’t exist I wouldn’t know what to do, I would probably have to invent a way of connecting disparate computer networks together. Anyway.
Not satisfied with the tit-bits from Schotts? Take a look at Brewers. A particular favourite of mine is the list of Former Blue Peter presenters. By eck, [...]

I haven’t really got a lot to say today, but I do have a long list of things to communicate.

Is England Football Team an anagram for Overpaid talentless muppets?
As for the excuses that the management, players and press have started trotting out, well really.
Still, I’ve got tickets for the rugby at Twickenham this Saturday (England v France for the uninitiated) and will be fervently praying that our sole world class sporting side don’t pull [...]

I know its political, but this wins my inaguaral award for best use of flash. Which is quite an achievement because I normally run away from these animations screaming and waving my hands. Generally due to the quality but also because of the immense amount of time they take to download over a phone line.
