No… Sleep… TIL BEDTIME!
Would you believe that our morris dancing team was asked if we were available this weekend to appear in a rap video? Good lord, even typing it makes me feel 50 years old…

Goner kebab
Following morris dancing practice last night, purely as an act of homage and tribute, I joined housemates James & Emma 2, and The Amazing Libby at Camden’s (in)famous Woody Grill in celebration of the man who invented the doner kebab, Mr Mahmut Aygün. Sadly we learned in yesterday’s news of the passing of Mr Aygün…
Oh look, a Christmas market!
Having just arrived back from my holiday, it seems only fair that I now write about my previous holiday. After all, without this sort of carry on how am I ever to make it appear as if I do nothing other than ambling about the place having fun, eh? Just before Christmas, thanks to K’s…
Perhapsh shome short of shelebrashion ish nesheshary?
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…
Scalar extremities
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…
Rumours of our demise have been widely reported and reasonably exaggerated
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…
Twits
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…
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I’m going snowboarding in the morning. Hurrah. 7 days in the more northerly bit of Sweden. Yay!
Cheeky idea
I wouldn’t call myself exactly up with the bleeding edge of the Web 2.0 thing, but I have the occasional dabble to see what’s going on out there in the big wide world. Interesting that, amid all the economic turmoil going on out there and the savage swinging back & forth of the business axe…
Das ist die ganze sache
There was a parcel for me in building reception yesterday. I wasn’t sure what it might be, cos I haven’t ordered anything in a while so far as memory serves. The desk-lady reached under the desk and produced a box, and profferred it to me. You know how you suddenly know what a box is…
