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.
What seems like about 100 years ago, I got to go to my first stadium gig. Wembley Arena (not Wembley Stadium, cos it's not properly built yet & the roof keeps falling in). Yeah, so anyway, still a big venue.
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

2006-03-21 : Toot tooty toot toot toot.
It was a big weekend that weekend, OK ? I had my first experience of Jethro Tull on the night of Saturday the 11th. Quite a good gig, and yet again I went with no prior knowledge of the band's
2006-03-18 : Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Mr Tim Minchin

2006-03-10 : Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Nothing like a cold shower to get your heart started in the morning… Yes, there's still teething problems with the new house, and I'm feeling none too special today having just had a 6 degree shower, following not having one
