Before I get into this, I don't want any questions of “Why in the hell would you do such a stupid thing ?”, OK ? Doing stupid things has been a lifestyle choice of mine since the age of about 14. A few weeks ago, one of my learned colleagues mooted an idea that a…
Another year, another glorious Eurovision Song Contest! Sadly once again I didn't get the chance to sit down and get a proper listen to the compelling song & dance action in this, the world's bigget Rock & Roll Eisteddfod, and nor was I able to listen to the scintillating commentary of Terry Wogan, the guy…
I think I've just reached new heights of procrastination – I've just finished watching the FA Cup Final. Given my quite well-documented lack of interest in football/soccer (circle as appropriate based on your location), it's a fairly surprising way for me to spend 90 minutes. I guess the strangest thing was the compulsion to see…
For the non-nerds, let the eye-rolling and exasperated sighing commence. For the rest of us, I've just walked in from Star Wars. Wow. What a ride ! The Puzzler and I decided to go along, and it didn't turn out difficult to get tickets to – clearly Camden's not the big cinema of choice for…
…but I've got some photos of the alien podule plastic ant things ! The contents of this one weren't quite as good as the last 2 – beef in green peppercorn sauce… nope, can take or leave that I think. Speaking of cuisine, however, tonight I went to a Vietnamese Cookery Class put on by…
One cool thing I've discovered about being busy damn near every night of the week is that after I've finished whatever it is I'm doing, I pop into Sainsbury's and grab some stuff to make dinner. The cool part is that Sainsburys have these “meal kits”, where they provide everything you need for a lovely…
I meant to say something about this the other day – on Saturday night when I was meant to be getting ready to meet Paul and Jaim over at Hampstead, I suffered what can *only* be described as the negative effects of a sock emergency. Typically I wear Explorer Socks (described on the website as…
Yesterday at lunch with Lord Science and Emma (work colleagues), we were chatting about this and that – actually at the time I think we were on the topic of Emma finding candlewax all over the bathroom and kitchen at her place – when we were joined by Mark, another one of our workmates who…
Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch. Just when I think I'm in danger of getting into some sort of state of shape or fitness, I have to go and do something bloody silly like help someone move house, and find that every muscle in by back and arms cries out for the next 3 or 4…
Another week. V busy all the time, and not much to talk about despite. Had a very odd morning on Thursday – when I got home Wednesday I put my new John Butler CD in my player so it'd wake me up the next morning, and then went to bed (as you do). When my…
