Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Was surfing for news of Kid Rock yesterday, as a friend has been working with him and I was wondering if she'd show up in any paparazzi shots of him stumbling out of nightclubs or anything. No joy there, but he was interviewed by the Guardian yesterd...

Canterbury, yesterday

Went to Canterbury yesterday, ate lunch, came home. That was about it really. Got some Thai food in The Hobgoblin. My jungle curry was pretty good, very hot too, but Clare didn't like her Pad Thai chicken.Yeah, not the most interesting thing for you ...

Terry Pratchett's Colour Of Magic coming to Sky One

Only just seen a trailer for it, guessing it has not been on yet. Their Hogfather was OK despite not liking the story so I'm sure this will be goood. Interesting to see the same actors playing different characters (though in the same universe), David...

Weekend! Curry! Spazzy twitches! Everything!

Great weekend, bailed out of work slightly early and got the train to Mum and Dad's, for a nice long relaxing weekend. As previously mentioned, Clare was in London drinking and dancing with her friends, and definitely not lighting fires, and I was he...

Lost: bit annoying

Watched the new episode, hope you enjoy it if you watch it tonight. I'm convinced the story's still being made up as it goes along, and that there won't be any actual answers by the end of the show. Some new ideas introduced, I'll probably stick with...

Been quiet for a few days

No I've not been out on the larry-large every day over christmas, been a bit under the weather actually, though that's not what's kept me off the computer. When I'm not at work and Clare's home too I never get to sit in front of the computer, she's p...

A festive update from Hibbett

Hmm, this newsletter is called "The Last Working Day Of The Month" (from one of his songs), but he's practically a civil servant and finished work for the year a week ago at least, I'm still working...welcome to this SUPER CHRISTMASSY edition of our ...

Festive Fun

Welcome back after the christmas break, hope you had a good one. We did, felt a bit quiet though, no big late nights or anything. Kind of handy really, as I'm back in work today, I volunteered to be in on these (hopefully) quiet days between christma...

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...

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...

Weekend train fun

Planning a little trip to Winchester tomorrow evening, to catch up with old friends and have a curry and a few drinks. Staying over, so no worries about trying to get back here, and then meeting Clare in London the next morning for shopping and thing...

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...

Splendid weekended

Great weekend, went to visit the folks and we got down in plenty of time to go to Portsmouth Dockyard and see the Mary Rose and the Victory. The Mary Rose was more interesting than I thought, it's not just a big lump of driftwood, but the Victory was...

I'm the walking dude (and so's my wife)

Splendid weekend, thanks for asking, starting off with what's becoming a regular routine; a quiet night in Friday night then a trip to Canterbury Saturday daytime. Had a lovely Wagamama, only slightly marred by me biting through my lip again. In the ...

Tip top weekend

For a change we didn't go to Canterbury, though we will be again this weekend. Made a proper session of it on Saturday to celebrate Clare's brother Kev's visit from the Miami. Lunch in Escondido, then a crawl around Hythe taking it (at least) The Bel...

Canterbury weekender

Had such a great weekend, it's taken me days to recover, and I've not fully gathered my thoughts. I'm in danger of forgetting everything though, so It's time to blat out a mini review.Friday started how all our Fridays used to start, with a trip to C...

Keep away from the crisps

Ace weekend, which I will report on later. I ate quite a lot though, and combining this with driving into work every day last week, so not getting the tiny walk based exercise I usually get, I'm noticing my belly is bigger than it should be. To compo...

So here's the Guardian story THE MAN couldn't hush up

Cash for honours: key document names LevyIt's been good for The Guardian I'm sure, I bought one today to see what the fuss was about; on BBC Breakfast this morning they were so wary of the story they didn't even have a copy of the Guardian on their d...

Ahoy stranger!

Free lunch was good today, it was curry... I really should have loaded my plate up a bit more, I was still hungry when I'd finished, and no-one seems to go back for seconds...

Monday morning roundup

I'd heard of this before, but didn't know the reason why some councils are refusing to recycle shredded paper, that's pretty poor.Commercial director John Collis said: "The small pieces of paper tend to get trapped in the conveyor belts and cause a f...

Tim Curry

Bit of a cheat, at the stage door of the Palace Theatre. And on stage, obviously.

Spamalot

Spamalot was quite good, not brilliant, best bit for me was seeing Tim Curry in the lead role. It's all the same story / jokes as the film.Went to The Three Greyhounds before the show, very good, small but nice old pub style pub. Four real ales on an...

First day of school

So, my first day back at work after a nice summer off. So far it is just great, there's a free canteen in the building, today I had Chinese vegetables and rice and things, there was also a meaty option of red Thai curry. Now to the downside, they don...

Quiet night in Folkestone

Saturday we went on a bit of tour of Folkestone, just to remind us and our visitor Emma of some of the less salubrious joints in town. We were originally going to head into Hythe and get a curry, but Emma already had a dinner lined up, so decided to ...

Aching again

More decorating today, still no job, so another day helping Dean out. Here he is, supping beer, while I was hard at work painting:Got no before shots, so you can't see quite how much we've done, but the room was all originally dark red. There's a du...

Oh dear what's happened to the style then?

Been playing with PhpGedView while I had some time to play with PHP (which might help me with work) and genealogy things(which probably won't). It's "skinnable", but only sort of, it needs some hacking to integrate it in this site, and in the process...
