Particularly fulsome weekend, with curries.

Splendid weekend, a bit different this time, starting off with a half day on Friday. I headed to Winchester to meet up with some friends, and really needed the extra time to make the most of the night. Clare stayed home watching Children in Need afte...

Hot weekend

Had a good week, lots going on at work, including the aforementioned rowing trip and picnic meeting in Hythe, very nice, then also a Harry Potter themed barbecue at work (I'm still plodding through the audiobook, don't tell me how it ends), and a pub...

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job

No posts for a few days, I had something to say but wanted to wait until I got an official confirmation and things. Yes I'm back in the land of the permanently employed, just arranged some final details today and I start at Holiday Extras on Monday! ...

Magic darts

Make Magazine

Make is available from Amazon, well fancy that! Priced more like a book than an issue of a magazine though, even with that discount... this is something to do with Philip Torrone, of www.engadget.com I'm sure. It's a mag aimed at those who want to t...

Sleepy weekend

Watched football, a rarity for me, but Portsmouth vs Southampton was on BBC1... So I sat watching in the flat in Folkestone on my own, with constant updates via text and phone from the mates who were gathered in the Chav Monkey in Fareham, drunk befo...

Old Street Art Pranks

Saw a wacky situationist prank at Old Street this morning, a breakfast table set up on top of a bus shelter, with bowls, cups, plates, milk jugs, the lot. Snapped a pic but can't get it off my phone until I get home. It's got a mention in London By L...

No more 106

In an attempt to make this less boring, I'll not be mentioning the 106 bus for at least a week. I was going to post up a picture of how someone had hacksawed away a part of the luggage rack on a train, but I think that would only have reinforced the ...
