Congratulations

Are due to my sister who shall now only be referred to as Mrs Ramsbottom.

Muddling Your Wucking Fords

This isn’t politics. I did, however, get to it via a discussion on the applicability of the LGPL and Java. Nevertheless, its funny.
How many ways can you misinterpret a little simple communcation? Well, the answer appears to be a lot, just take a look at Eat Poop You Cat.

Monday Morning Politics

Regular readers of this web page will be familiar with my enthusiastic liking for Scaryduck and the comedy stylings on his blog. Well, in between the movie polls and the stories of childhood mayhem and explosions this morning he has posted an absolute corker of a piece on current affairs.

One more thing

As well as listening to top tunes, I get to keep an eye on the cricket.

Things That Make Me Smile

Today, I am mostly listening to;

Something old – Steely Dan’s Gaucho
Something new – Sleepy Jackson’s Lovers
Something not so much borrowed, as polished – the remastered version of Marillion’s Afraid of Sunlight

Back to Interruptions

Herself is back in St Georges. She managed to stay out for about twenty hours before she was back in for more observation. The major reason for the re-admittance is that they managed to lose her "sample". Which is understandable until I point out that it was in a five litre container. Five litres. One [...]
