On tour in the Cotswolds at the minute with the Adelaide Morris Men. Having a bloody good time, what's more! On the weekend we went to Moulton and met & danced with the guys from Saddleworth, Thaxted, Huddersfield, Adderbury, &
2006-05-09 : I’m gonna finish wiriting this story even if it does my head in !
What a wondrous sight was our place of breakfast on Day 2 in Spain – the Museo de Jamon. Museum of Ham. Pure poetry. All that wonderful cured ham, hanging from the roof, waiting for discerning punters likeourselves to come
2006-04-30 : Knee deep in back-blog.
Paul and I went to Madrid for Easter. Weird how that happened – the original idea of going to Russia fell through, so as a last-ditch random effort, Paul's said “How about Madrid ?”. I couldn't think of a compelling
2006-04-26 : Danke schoen… darling, danke schoen…
Finally, a useful side effect of picking a tightarse Tuesday budget airline to fly with !! Since getting to the UK I've been talking about hopping over to Germany to go visit me ol' high school chum Wib, and I
2006-04-20 : There was something in the air…
My idiot co-worker (who I've successfully avoided bitching about thus far) raised another one of his inane complaints the other day, this time not to do with the software. Apparently the fan on my PC case is disturbing the dust
2006-04-19 : Enough mojo to fill a stadium.

2006-04-18 : Pointless factoid
Time flies, therefore, am having fun. Lots to report, and no time to currently do it in. In the meantime, here's an interesting fact which Wazza dug up: The name of the first Dutchman in space was Wubbo Ockels.
2006-04-08 : AAAAAAAARGH! Trapped in the departure Gulag.
I HATE Stansted Airport. Stansted Express – late & running slowly. Stansted security queue – manned by George “The Animal” Steele's less able-minded stunt double. But then, with typical British efficiency, my 2040 departing plane boards at 2050. Oh and
2006-03-30 : Fast forward to today… dammit I’ve got to get on top of this bloggin thing !!
So because I've been so damn slack, but multiple attempts to get up to speed in the last week and a half have gone nowhere, here's the short, short version: 18th March – hooked up with Sean Ramsey-Hyphen-Bullshit-Moore and went
2006-03-26 : Moral dilemma
ARSE ! For the past couple of months I've been making a rubber band ball. The project was primarily prompted by a story on the BBC news site about posties getting stick for dropping rubber bands everywhere. Apparently Royal Mail
