Am on mad blog catchup detail again. Curse this tendency to not get round to things ! My email's suffering somewhat too. My Drafts folder's at an all time record of 60 messages waiting to be replied to. ONLY 3 DAYS OF MOVEMBER LEFT ! And I can't say I'm sad to see the back…
OK, so where were we ? Playing chess in a pub in Brussels, I think. A couple of things about that pub – I said it was 1920's style, which wasn't necessarily apparent from the main pub section (although I must admit I found it weird to have such a huge and cavernous room), but…
Struggling to keep my mutterings apolitical, I can't help but link to this video (courtesy of the BBC) of the Chief Executive of the Federal Government of the United Stats of America and Commander-in-Chief of its armed forces at a press conference in China. I doubt even Peter Sellers could have pulled off a move…
During the process of putting away clothes and stuff from my Belgium trip (and yes, I KNOW it was 3 weeks ago… I've been busy!), I stumbled across the item pictured to the left. It's a pat of butter, purloined from the restaurant where Wazza and J grabbed a fairly pricey but nonetheless excellent dinner…
We just had a quick discussion about ludicrous names, precipitated largely by the news that the Socceroos have gotten through to the World Cup finals by beating Uruguay (as if there's anyone who knows an Australian, who hasn't heard yet!) – Paul the Dodgy Aussie's comment on the matter was: “I've already sung the national…

There were a fair few people gathered round, but it wasn't the fevered bustle of adoring fans so much as the laconic circulation of hopeful scalpers,…
A man goes to the zoo … When he got there, there was only a dog. … It was a shitzu.
In between pontificating on matters I don't have a particularly educated opinion on, I also like to occasionally spew forth the minutiae of my various adventures around the place. So without further ado, I present “My weekend in Belgium“. On October 28th I set forth for Brussels – my primary goal was to catch up…
I read this story a couple of weeks ago, which whilst mainly intended to be positive in tone, needless has me a little worried (excerpt follows). [BBC News UK Edition] Man arrested over July 7 attacks A 27-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the London bomb attacks of 7 July which killed 52…
Extend your sense of self-worth by owning more stuff ! Buy one of these (relevant to mad keen die hard obscenely loaded Star Trek fanatics only). I find it somewhat hard to believe that the brains behind this don't think that the die-hard trekkies (i.e. the only group this could possibly be targeted at) who…
