RE: We got Wii!

Cool, I got a Wii a few weeks ago and now I don't know how I survived without it. The little thing is grate for after-pub parties and social drinking. Not to mention thrashing out the day's accumulated frustration.

James Moore Clarke

Got an email from someone in the USA trying to trace Clarke ancestors from the UK. I don't think we have any Clarkes in the USA, and said that by email, but thought I'd republish some info here in case anyone else can help. Jim Clarke says:It is poss...

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 ...

Does he? Or doesn't he?

Not tried to do anything like this for a long while, does it show?news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6984102.stmI think that knocks your picture of Bruce Willis into a cocked hat Mr Itchypaws...Actually I think it's more likely to be a false beard...

No connection as far as I can see, but I'm republishing this mail that I keep getting sent here, in case it's of any interest to anyone. Looks like some automated text from some family tree software to me.My name is James A. Clarke. I am a fourth gen...

Only used a mac once

didn't like it much. I spent the whole time fixated by the fact I had to make a computer work with only 1 mouse button. Not had much call to use one since. My girlfriend uses one in the lab office at work & dreams of a half decent PC cos it keeps ove...

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! ...

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...

RE: That's me told then!

Thank you. I would be very grateful if you removed the entire article aswell, as it doesn't help anyone. People are more likely to see it here than in my journal, so if you're bothered about it affecting the ice rink, maybe you should remove it.

Bluddy Grate

better than pineapple. And then some.

All the best, Pauly. I'm crap at reading blogs so hope we all stay in touch elsewhere. I'm hoping you find something good really soon.

RE: My last things

And didn't you create something that was BLUDDY GRATE.

Well done, cariad, and all the best for the future. I'll be watching here for whatever exciting thing happens next.

All mine all mine

James Herbertesque sort of weather today, very foggy at home, and all the way into London... makes things seem a bit quieter, I wonder if the fog is really absorbing sound...Great weekend, tiring though, I could do with being asleep right now. After ...

Weekend of sports

The Rugby was great, made for quite a long and tiring day, but a fabulous experience being there for an international. The Wales v France game put paid to either England or Ireland winning the 6 Nations so it wasn't quite such an important game. I'd ...

Ooh yeah I got google chat today

Used the chat client before, and had it integrated into Trillian for a while, but now the powers at google corp have deigned to embed it in my gmail page, as announced here. They're rolling it out slowly so a few more people blog about it each day, c...

Lots of new things!

Starting with a https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Entertainment&id=1327 grocery list manager for Firefox... it's a weird one, but it might just work, all week I'm in front of the computer thinking about f...

yeah just blogged that!

I think they will integrate it into gmail soon, that will be a bit sly, though I don't think you'll be able to talk with those on msn, only those using something "jabber" based, like google chat or ichat. I am paulypopex at gmail.com if you want to a...

Didn't get an aerial fitted then...

Guy came, and can't fit an aerial. He was very helpful and has had a good look round, up in the loft and everything, but he says the only place we can get access to put an aerial might not give us a better picture than we're getting now, so it's not ...

RE: it had better be possible to watch non sony movies on it

oh also meant to mention, couple of things:1. what site do you use for getting movie torrents from?2. did you read about the add-on for firefox which will integrate bittorrent into the browser?? personally, i think at first it'll revolutionise things...

RE:

presumably they're finishing off the back end of season 7 still. i hope it finishes at 7. it's been good, but i dont like these things to die a slow and painful death. and anyway, they've really cut down on budget for season 7 apparently...you don't ...

So, one week as a married man

Damn, do you think they make these but not in leather? I think I need one.It's got built in massagers and a fridge and a phone, as well as being a regular comfy recliner... You can get it at www.drinkstuff.com, I should see if they have an affilliate...

That's the one. Not bang opp. the station, a little bit west. Will check out Edward Rutherfords london... I liked Ackroyd's one but he romanticised the city a bit much (street lammps dancing in the night-time etc.)Re. my bike, it's actually a brompto...

just a coincidence I think

I pasted that in from an email I got, maybe someone else knows more. I got an email too from an Eric Clarke in the US Air Force who has the same birthday as me, he's interested in tracing his family tree:My name is Eric Clarke I was born 7/27/1974 in...

Yeah I have, some good stuff going on

Seeing what other people had done geed me along a bit... I'm only using my own XML feed at the moment, but might integrate others if I can find something appropriate.

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...

The Garage

Don't recall if they did their "Hamster Dance" single, I do remember an ace cover of "Self Esteem", though I could possiblybe mixing it up with an earlier Helen Love gig... Plus The Fighting Cocks....
