You are here.
One of the coolest things about living in a place like this is the opportunities that turn up that you just wouldn't normally get. Thanks to some nifty spotting by Paul the Dodgy Neon Wombat, it seems that on the morning of my impending house move, I'm gonna be checking out This: What the hell…
…send a picture or two. So going by traditional rates of exchange, here's about 6000 words. Nottingham Castle, taken by me. The photo, not the castle. They don't allow that much luggage on the train back to St. Pancras. Justin and Charlie at the bar the other night where we went for Ellie's birthday. I…
From my desk at work, I can see out a window (note: this is the first job I've ever had where I wasn't trapped in a windowless void). When I first got here, there was a nice view of Hampstead Heath. However, since Christmas or thereabouts there has been some construction going on, which we've…
Just overheard in the office – Resident silicone bimbo talking on phone to somebody, giving them a password for something. She'd obviously been asked to spell it for them: “OK, it's S for Sugar” “Then P for Psychological” … OK, maybe ya had to be there.
OK, now I've got to cast my mind back through the swirling mists of time to Wednesday night. My first Australia Day in the Northern Hemisphere. I suppose the weirdest bit was the whol temperature issue – if there's one thing I've established during my time on this planet, it's that on Australia Day it's…
Oh man what a week ! As if things weren't weird enough already !? This week I've been lucky enough to have Australians in all directions – good stuff, cos it staves off a bit of the homesickness. I've had Undies staying for the last few days while he sets himself up with a job…
This post completed in a text editor on Australia Day Eve, because my site is down again :( Hey, I think that's the first emoticon I've ever put in one of these posts… Right, so totally in opposition to my attempt to do better than last week by posting more frequently (oh yes, there's been…
Just a quick post – having server trouble in Adelaide late last week and early this week so I couldn't get in to add any scintillating wit to this great compendium. Am about to shoot through to Nottingham for the weekend with Richie and Hilary – no idea what there is to do there, but…
On Sunday night just gone (by “just”, I mean like 3 or 4 days back… things just happen around here, OK ?), I experienced the wondrous jewel in the theatrical crown of Britain – the time honoured medium of Pantomime. It's kind of funny when you hear Brits refer to panto – they talk about…
After a fairly swift yet resoundingly pricey visit to a Harley Street Doctor, it seems that my muscular injury is rather a lot less serious than initially anticipated. In fact, though I found it almost impossible to walk on Wed/Thurs, on Fri I was more or less able to limp about, and today I've managed…
