Splendid weekend of comedy, food, double dinners, and everything

Great weekend. As an intro though, specifically for the people from work who mentioned they had found this page recently - at no point did I drink too much and become annoying, I am a fine upstanding member of staff. Probably you can go back to work ...

Second house-hunting trip around Canterbury

Saw five houses today in Canterbury, have a map with details of the things we saw. Clare's out tonight with Jenny, so it's a prime opportunity for me to do some fiddling about with maps and things, so sorry if it breaks. Not that you'll be on the com...

If a picture paints a thousand words...

Does this video clip of us in Belgium this weekend make anything I have to say on the subject completely redundant?See, Mum, Dad, Clare and me on a humungous big wheel, part of the Plaisers d'Hiver festival type affair that was going in Brussels this...

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

Fullsome weekender

Well I say full, full of pubs really. Friday night we stayed in, so as to have more energy for going out on Saturday. We had a trip to Canterbury in the day (and you'll never guess where we had lunch), no actual christmas shopping, but we went in a c...

Short weekend

Where did that go then? I'm sure I was only at work an hour or so ago and now it's time to go back again... Tired today, had quite an action packed weekend that just went too fast. Started off with work drinks in Trashford, a couple in the Phoenix (S...

TFI The Weekend

Bit of a choppy working week, but now two days respite. Which is nice. So, off to see the family in a few minutes, hence being up and about at this time.Quiet night in last night, Brand new Rebus on TV, lots of swearing for an ITV show I thought, the...

The wedding (being the first part of my two week holiday write up)

We started our little trip with a wedding, the least possible wedding that was still attached to home by land that I have ever been to. This was somewhere one side of the Scottish border, and the reception was just the other side, which was quite a n...

RE: Ride played in 1992

Dude i was at that Manics gig man it kicked ass. They cancelled the first week because James Dean Bradfeild had a bad throat so they couldnt play. but it was worth the wait, me and a load of guys came up from Rye to see that show. i remember i had a...

It's the end of the world.

No, not that end of the world, something a bit more lighthearted. Possibly. In an age where any security camera footage of a crime seems to be inconclusive, or not good enough quality to be of any use, or just not pointing the right way at the right ...

The wrong kind of trees on the line

What a great day to start commuting again. Back on the five past midnight train into work this morning (ok, five past seven), and in my semi conscious repose I became more or less aware that the train was at a standstill, somewhere in mid kent. The t...

Obligatory world cup post

World cup, a bit of a tense game, we just about got there in the end. There are some bad people out there:An internet company which sold fake World Cup tickets to children may have made more than �60,000 in the scam.Nearly 400 schoolchildren from acr...

Welcome to Miami!

Or, rather, from Miami, or even (by the time I write this up) hello from England, Miami sends its regards. Just BACK from a trip to the US of States to visit Clare's bro and sister-in-law in the pan-handle bit of the Americas. Tiring flight over to M...

Chops!

Started the weekend with a super rarity, drinks in Farringdon. Been trying to meet up with a couple of the Fareham boys who are commuters too and work in the area, and this week no-one had a good excuse not to do it, so it's all on - To The Eagle. It...

Joss Whedon: 'Buffy May Return' :: Hollywood.com

Hollywood.com says that World Entertainment News Network says that Joss Whedon says that Buffy and Angel could be making a comeback, no specifics as to which characters would return or in what format... I think he's geed up by the relative success o...

Weekend report

Super weekend, starting with The Mighty Boosh at the LCH, funny, good, we felt a bit old though, they do attract a young audience, lots of whom were dressed up. I maybe enjoyed the show a bit more than my companions, though it did feel a bit like a c...

Flipping Big Television

After much deliberation, arguing, stress, and a pizza express to diffuse the tension, we got ourselves a TV. Not exactly the one we went in for, we were talked up very slightly, after comparing them side by side. We did see others that we liked more ...

Los Angeles

So, we sadly had to leave Santa Barbara, and we drove on down to LA... Was a bit intimidated at the thought of driving in LA, I've only driven London once or twice before and that was a long time ago, mostly I've only done gentle village roads. The j...

San Francisco

So, part the first of my big holiday / honeymoon write up. Slight preamble, some experiences on the way there. Our flights were at nice civilised times, but to save any rush and extend the holiday a bit, we booked into a hotel at Heathrow. But it was...

Pub golf

As part of my round up of the weekend, as I am reminded different bits of it at different times, here is the order of drinking of the pub golf in Exeter on Saturday... we played some real golf first, some pitch and putt anyway, and I thought I did av...

Easter beaster

A lot to write about, had a huge great easter weekend and really managed to fit quite a lot in. Can I remember it all is the question though... Friday daytime is too long ago to be sure, but in the evening we did a little tour of Stoke Newington Chur...

Poor wee mouse

A fright in the house yesterday, Clare found a mouse, alive this time though. Much shrieking and panicking, so I dressed up as a fat housekeeper in brightly coloured tights, climbed on a chair and beat it to death with a big broom. No, wait, that was...
