Bonekickers

Did you see Bonekickers on TV last night? I will watch some crap, but even I had to turn it off, it was so bad! I am still tempted to catch up on what I turned off on iplayer later, just to reassure myself that it was just about the worst thing ever....

RE: Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

I agree, darkmoonsider. I think it is inappropriate to 'feel sorry for' someone who has committed suicide. I do feel sorrow/care/concern for you and the other witnesses (who, I can promise, the young lady had no wish to hurt) and also for her family ...

Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

Hope you've all had as good an extended weekend as I have. As is usual when I've been off for a few days and not written up just went on immediately, I'm starting to forget it all. We're up now, on the last day of our five day break and I have a few ...

It's a long way to Gutsy Gibbon

This version is Dapper Drake. I got a CD of a more recent version off someone at work hoping I could start again from there and then upgrade to the latest, but if I try that my wireless connection is lost immediately, and without that I can do nothin...

The first rule of wine club

Anyone in a wine club? Got any recommendations? Someone's sent me an introductory thing for Sunday Times Wine Club and I'm wondering whether to give it a go. I'm hoping it'll give us the chance to try some different wines, without having to leave the...

Quite Interesting

Went back to QI, and it was ace, glad we made the effort. I had the afternoon off, and got away on time, so I had hours to kill before the show. I went to the National Gallery, and saw some paintings, it was nice. Then I wondered around Soho grazing ...

Good weekend

Quick trip to Mum and Dad's on Friday, with an afternoon off work thrown in, to be there for a fabulous family barbecue for Dad's birthday - I knew it was his 60th really. Just a flying visit, but still really good, nice to see so many people in one ...

This ain't no technological breakdown

This is the road to V. Back in the day I would have posted a link there on popex, because someone somewhere was getting paid for it, but this time I'm posting that link because an old chum from work is the singer in that band, so go listen to his tun...

What am I, a scone?

Spent most of yesterday doing doctory things, had to head down to the surgery and register, see a nurse, fill forms, fill something else, etc. Then much hanging around until I could get to see a doctor. Too much of this was in the waiting room. Parts...

Going underground

Half day today, it's the day of the great lunch outing, going with some buddies on a tour of Down Street Underground Station this afternoon. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:Down Street, also known as Down Street (Mayfair), was a station of the ...

Working from home

I think this is the fifth attempt to get some decent reception and extra channels at home, with a day spent out of work for someone each time. It's only the second attempt from the current aerial and satelleite services supplier, and I have every con...

Now that's just mean

In the same weekend that the whole nation gets weepy about one (1) dead whale, there's more news about brazillions of grey squirrels being culled.Great weekend of comedy and sort of DIY. Went to the Lanterns comedy night Saturday, and quite literally...

Spam Spam Spam

Wow what a coincidence that you all have the same positive points to make! Do you work for M&B Builders Ltd, are they desperate for some positive press? There's no need for deviousness here, a few biased comments are fine, someone else will come alon...

Nicola's Portofino menu

We're booking a HUGE table at Nicola's Portofino soon, so they've offered us a special set menu to make sure we all get fed at the same time... I don't usually post menus up here, as I don't have them, but I thought I would with this one, seeing as I...

Thursday: Day of disappointments

Three pains in the arse yesterday. Firstly Sky came round to install Sky+, and then went away again saying they can't do it as they don't think we own the wall where they need to put the dish. SO, got a letter from the chair of the freeholding compan...

Home Alone

Working at home today, something made the central heating go off during the night, so no hot water, and I am too much of a wuss to have a cold wash. I'm not not going in because I'm unclean and smelly, that would be fine (for me) but my hair goes int...

Hmm

Just heard from someone else who got standing tickets first attempt... It's clearly some sort of hate campaign, if I choose 2 "best available" it offers me: Seating InformationUNRESERVED SEAT/STAND UPSTAIRSONE PRICE ONLYSECTION CIRCLE,and if I c...

Return of the jeteye

Tired today, nice weekend, until we started getting back to London... Went to Chambers three times over the weekend, excessive I think, but it's my fave place in town so all the time I can get people to go there I think we should... bought some new k...

Big knobs

Who'd have believed something so ace could come out of Cheriton of all places? As part of our "Clare's bro is visiting from The Colonies" celebrations at the weekend, we had an ace curry from Cheriton Balti and Tandoori, really very good indeed. Some...

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 ...

Jude Law

IDrinking coffee, chatting with someone not as famous. It was earlier this summer, which was surprising given his difficulties with the trouble and strife... He looked rough yet somehow rugged. Mandatory celeb sunglasses on. Classy.

Blogging about Blogging about Blogging

www.pidster.com got a mention on www.zeldman.com for pointing out something wonky in a favelet he'd written, nice. Now after a bit of log checking etc, someone who's beeen driven to pidster by the link on zeldman has checked out his redesign of bbc.c...

Council Fabulous

Freebie of the week has to be my Fighting Cocks "Council Fabulous" t-shirt I got from Charlie. First time of wearing it and some lady in Safeway was asking me where she could get one... maybe I'll fund the making of some more and we can sell them.Off...

Sigur Ros

We spotted them from the bar (we were looking across the street)they were walking to the back of the restaurant when they realized it wasn't and entrance and then walked all the way back to the front where we were sitting right by the door waiting on...

New feature...

New feature, if you edit your details you will see there's a space where you can write a little personal biog thing about yourself... only 255 chars, but it should be enough for a link to your website or whatever... maybe it'll also work as a .sig ty...

Bayleaf

James Hazeldine, the guy who plays (or possibly played, not seen it for years) Bayleaf in London's Burning was in the tea rooms next to our office some time last week... I wouldn't normally key in someone who's name I didn't know without looking it u...
