Boy in a Hat
After a short interlude the daily photo is back. Here’s JFGP enjoying a quick coffee at a cafe in Manly. If he doesn’t get his daily caffeine fix he can be a right bugger.
Oh Dear
Just when you thought it was safe, and the political posts had stopped, I discover that ID cards are the talk of the day in New South Wales now. The fact that I’ve already got a photo driving license in my pocket has got nothing to do with it. I’m opposed to centralised population databases …
Link of the Day
I used to work with a chap whose first act every day, upon sitting at his desk and turning on his PC, was to check the obituaries column in the Times online. A morbid hobby, but apparently a very intesresting one. These days I suspect that he would be better served by the ever fantastic …
I Broke out the Camera
I’ve extracted the latest group of photographs from my camera and uploaded the half decent ones to Flickr. Enjoy. Selected highlights of this set will be appearing here with hilarious commentary in the next few days (or weeks if I get a little distracted).

Rapidly ascending that list is Dan Brown who stole several hours of my life when I read his execrable novel "The Da Vinci Code". Luckily, I’m not alone in this opinion and Ben Last explains the pain …

Over the next couple of days I’m going to be doing a little surgery. You may notice that this fine web site isn’t available for a short period of time, for which I apologise in advance. I’m also mucking about with my e-mail so if you send me a message in the next few days …
Good Luck
A few good wishes today. Good luck to my brother (SLAHWHM) who started a new job this week, here’s hoping they don’t work you too hard. Then good luck to the 70’s throwback’s liver. He’s spending the weekend at Minehead watching the finest band from Aylesbury. There will be much drinking, and I’m sure he’s …
