ID Card Report
The parliamentary home affairs committee has looked at the lovely Mr Blunkett’s plans for ID cards. Their conclusion? Despite more holes than a colander and the omission of a number of substantive facts (like, for instance, how much the whole lot is going to cost) they conclude that the scheme is correct in principle. Dear …
Bionic Dolphins
For my next birthday I would like a bionic dolphin please. That is all.
Service, Shmervice
Here is the text of a letter I’ve just sent to the nice people at Amazon UK complaining about their "fulfilment partner"; Terrible delivery service from DHL. My orders to date have come through Royal Mail and I have not had a problem. If I haven’t been there to receive a parcel in person it …
Lazy Summer Afternoons
I am enjoying the coverage of the test match on Channel 4 at the moment. I have only one comment to make on their presentation – Geoffrey Boycott is a twunt. Will no one rid us of this turbulent Yorkshireman?

Birthday Boy
SWMBO is working away from home at the moment. She is missing her little ankle biter and asked me to post another photo of JFGP. Ever obliging, here is one I took on his birthday last week. We were in Dartmouth for the day and I couldn’t resist the windmill, especially not after I’d shown …
Very Much Like Making Love to a Beautiful Woman
Folks, we’re saved. Swiss Toni is back for a second series. I inadvertently missed episode one but I shall be watching the rest of the series religiously. For those who missed the first series and haven’t been aware of the second either – it’s on BBC Three, so I’m not surprised you haven’t seen it. …
