2007-10-23 : It’s a special gift I’ve got.
You would think that, given I work in a reasonably technical field, I might have some sort of aptitude with machinery & gadgets. However as nearly anybody I've ever spoken to will attest, this assertion is nothing short of pure poppycock. In the field of “getting stuff to work” it wouldn't be unfair to say…
2007-10-21 : HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
2 trips to Wembley Arena last week. Secondly, to see WWE Raw. Yes, that's right – Professional Wrestling. The plan was initially to go out there with Housemate James and his brother in law, Bodge, as those two probably know more about WWE than anyone else in the UK. However James had to go to…
2007-10-16 : Fried cheese – it’s not JUST for breakfast any more!
The idea of a “holiday” means different things to different people, and in recent times what I've come to realise is that to me it means going to a new location to do some activity, or see some people, or do something with someone, but whatever's involved there's always some kind of purpose and activity….
2007-10-12 : Let the beatings continue!

We've mainly spent the time chillin out on the beach and availing ourselves of the fantastic array of seafood served in the tavernas, however yesterday we went on a bus tour around the…
2007-10-04 : Okay, okay, I give up!
So it turned out the “blogging every day in September” thing was kinda doomed from the beginning – it's always the way, isn't it? You've either got stuff to write about, or time to write about it, but never both. As it turns out I'll have plenty of time to write over the next week…
2007-09-18 : Why the hell are college students getting tasered on campus?!
While keeping an eye on stories about civil rights and the questionable line taken by the US Government and various Police forces in light of the ongoing state of invasiveness driven by paranoia, I tend to steer clear of commenting on them for fear of going off without full possession of the facts. However in…
