In the absence of any other tangible way of measuring one’s progress through life, I thought this might be worth reporting. Although I’m not 100% sure what prompted the Sean Connery-eqsue subject line, but letsh not focush on that, hmm? This afternoon my Friends list on Facebook (I’m assuming that, at this point, you know…
Ordinarily being beaten to the punch on a piece of commentary would probably render me apathetic enough to let it go through to the keeper, however this one’s worth throwing in just because it crinkles my brain so much. At the beginning of the month some likeminded bold musical adventurers & I set forth to…
Judging by the legs that this story gained, I suspect you’d have had to have been living under a rock in the first week of January not to have heard the story (given that it appears in nearly every news source in the UK) that apparently morris dancing will be extinct within 20 years (including…
As in, Twitter, the digerati-popular and equivalently lauded/derided “micro-blogging” service. Sort of reminds me a bit of Douglas Adams‘ description of the Belcerebon people of Kakrafoon: a race whose enlightened civilisation was reduced to a gibbering wreck due to an intergalactic sentence passed on their world such that instead of being thoughtful and contemplative they…
I’m going snowboarding in the morning. Hurrah. 7 days in the more northerly bit of Sweden. Yay!

Recently on BoingBoing (an excellent blog I read on a regular basis) there was a story featured which really reached out to me – in Caledon, Ontario lives a little boy named Sam Spiteri. Sam’s 3 years old, and has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy – meaning that among other things, he’s unable to crawl or…
During our 5 day self-guided wander around various parts of Europe, K & I thought that it might be fun to do the obligatory visit to a place with a rude name. It was a bit of an afterthought, admittedly, and not one which we explored with much diligence. In fact, the extent of our…
Ebay is (arguably, was) the most brilliant thing ever. Providing a global boundaryless marketplace where you can drift around looking for the most unlikely stuff… quite what prompts me to look for half of this shite, I couldn’t tell you – however among some of the gems I’ve acquired are an incomplete set of A…
