Stuck at home at the minute with a couple of wannabe plumbers banging around upstairs attempting to fix SOMETHING. I'd decided that the sort of “all-rounder odd jobs men” that you get here are on the whole pretty useless, because
2004-10-21 : Be careful not to step on the cracks !
Well, England may be famously described as “a nation of shopkeepers”, but judging by the responses I've had lately it seems that Australia takes the title of “A nation of Plumbers” ! Thanks to all the useful suggestions of how
2004-10-20 : If I was a fly, my posterior would be a sort of blue colour.
Yes, I'm just that busy (n.b. this may make no sense to non-Australian audiences… and in a rare first, probably not much to Australian audiences either, but anyway). I've been pretty flat out at work today and haven't had a
2004-10-15 : Poets day
Well, that's another week nearly out of the way ! No great tales of high adventure still, although I am heading off to Germany (Frankfurt, to be specific) this weekend to catch up with Paul (a former colleague from Suspect)
2004-10-12 : For the sake of humanity…

2004-10-08 : Oops, forgot a bit !!
Couple more things – firstly Happy Birthday Tim, cos y'know… it's his birthday and all. As a special present I was almost tempted to link to that arse photo again, but I think the world can do without. Secondly, I've
2004-10-08 : Wrong glass, sir !
Wow, time appears to be flying. It's been a mucho busy week ! Firstly, we have hot water again. That was Saturday's breakthrough. After almost a week of having a procession of fairly useless non-plumbers file through and explain that
2004-10-01 : Lapis Lazuli
Got a couple of days to catch up on here. I've been pretty busy too, so I'll try to keep it down to 25 paragraphs or so. Tuesday morning when I went to get in the shower, it seemed like
2004-09-29 : Vee are in Holland ! Isn’t dat VEIRD !?
OK, *I'm* not in Holland, but Pat and Jules are as part of their European Tour (obviously they couldn't fit the rest of the band in their luggage… but what else do you really need other than a bass player
