Normally I'd avoid a new version of Windows like the bubonic plague (I think it took at least until the end of 2002 for me to move over to XP), however in light of the fact that my desktop PC
2007-05-23 : Shut that bloody bouzouki up!
Once again, The Barbican comes up with the goods. It took a little convincing and good faith on their part, but I dragged Hannah, Paul and new UK arrival Kat along to see one of the world's most extraordinary and
2007-05-22 : Nothing to see… Nothing to see here…
Went for lunch with K yesterday at a pub in Belgravia. Nothing in particular happened there, but upon leaving the pub and walking around the corner we discovered blue & white “Police Line – Do Not Cross” tape. In hindsight
2007-05-19 : Flup-de-huuuw, chickey-in-di-basket, etc.
I'm on a train to Stockholm, having just been allowed into the country wearing these ridiculous trousers. I'm going to Helen's wedding tomorrow. Just thought some of you might be interested. If you wanna get a wedding message to her,
2007-05-18 : And on that farm he had a piecost, E-I-E-I-O

2007-05-17 : Such a fine line between stupid and clever

2007-04-03 : THIS IS SPARTA!
300 seems like a silly title for a film, but then I guess 2001 and Se7en were both pretty popular… Acting on a suggestion from Chris, a band of like-minded intellectuals went to the BFI Imax to see the new
2007-03-24 : The Happiest City in Britain
(Advance apologies for the crappy photos – the others are trapped on my currently inaccessible hard drive at home) What better way to get into the mood of St Patrick’s Day than to head up to the northern reaches of
2007-03-12 : Heeeeeeeeeere we are in New South Wales, sheeeeeeearring sheep as big as whales (or Wales – hard to tell).
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Major bout of diary constipation there – in a nutshell, we've been working like maniacs getting everything ready for end-of-financial-year. I actually got invited to the finance dept's end-of-year mparty on Friday night, but the idea of going to
