Speaking of journeys through time and space...

The Mighty Boosh festival lineup is out, as seen on posters at Folkestone station, though I'm sure I could have been quicker off the mark than that. It's a bit ropey actually. The 'Boosh themselves headline I think, with The Charlatans, Gary Numan, W...

Our actual first day in Key West

I realise that my previous post about our first day in Key West a) didn't contain any info, b) had things from our second day on the map, and c) has slipped down the page and no-one will read it. So here at last is the first part of our journey. Clar...

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 ...

Ever feel lacking in skills?

I do, all my skills are in software, if the power went off tomorrow I'd be SUNK! I wish I had more hardware skills, not just computer hardware, but general mechanics and making and fixing things. Here's an interesting article along those lines from w...

RE: Why park sensibly...

their written skills are really first class! people like this really wind me up. they obviously didn't have the balls to actually speak to you and say anything.

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 ...

I survived the Folkestone earthquake

yo,I've designed some t-shirts, for us to remember the crazy earthquake in Folkestone on 28/04/07. Luckily, nobody was killed or seriously hurt, just damage to houses, and here's hoping people's properties are back to how they were before the Quake a...

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...

RE: Rabbits and finches

It was uncharacteristically bright up here last night too - I blamed the weather (or Tony Blair, or the elves).Love Speckled Hen, but only generally drink it in the comfort of my own home. It's one of my "feet up relaxing" real ales.In other news, do...

Blood on the tracks

Watched "The Roadkill Chef" last night, billed by BBC Three as "Eccentric roadkill connoisseur Fergus Drennan tries to change the eating habits of the people in the town of Sandwich in Kent by throwing the community a roadkill feast". Sandwich is rea...

Suffolkator

So, a man has been arrested in connection with the Ipswich murders, and BBC have him on tape. I was saying to the wife when it transpired that the BBC had one of the victims on tape that I just BET they're interviewing everyone in town just on the o...

Blood

I completely failed to give blood, that's three times I've been to the place where the blood drive is, and three times now I've got some detail or other wrong. First time, I'm sure they were open Tuesday and Wednesday, but I was wrong so I came back....

Web 2.0

Thinking about myspace again today, as I looked at it yesterday, there was some piece in the guardian today about how Q Magazine "hilariously" made up a band and generated a buzz about them using myspace. I am a bit out of touch with modern pop music...

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...

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...

I'm a morning person!!!!

Who was that clown on the train this morning - was it you? He was muttering to himself when there was no-one to talk to, and as soon as anyone sat near him hi gibbered and chattered and got them talking too... this disturbed my sleep. If you're on th...

Not a very relaxing weekend then

Friday we had long lost flatmate Emma visiting, and we played darts and drank booze - don't know if it was beginners luck, or if she's secretly been practising, but she was FAR TOO GOOD! Saturday the plan was an all day pub crawl for Dean's birthday,...

I Am The Law!

I know I'm not the first to pick up on this, but I read last night's Evening Standard this morning (no, not The Metro, really last night's Standard, I found it on the train) and there was a piece about new powers for the police. It's being proposed (...

that's a really good setting

top skills on that choice.nah, if you're any good work will realised that without you they're nothing and will crumble into a pile of poodust.ION, i've now managed to get my iPAQ to link up with my wireless router. in our block of flats there's a goo...

Lone Star Comedy for June

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the good weather. I have details for the next Lone Star Comedy Club - there may, or may not, be material about yoghurt so be sure to bring earplugs if you find such dairy based products offensive. On the next club ...

Not feeling too bright today

Goldie Lookin' Chain were ace at Islington Academy last night, not a capacity crowd though and still not really a very good venue which is a shame. Still, cheers www.virginmobile.com.Saw John the White Rapper in support, I enjoyed him, anyone else se...

Guns don't kill people, rappers do

Feeling a bit slow today as a result of last night's Goldie Lookin' Chain gig at Islington Academy, and the quantity of booze consumed thereat. Started off with a few pints in The Angelic with Creatif, Big Jimmy and Mr and Mrs Kosso, and another frie...

RE: Keira Knightly update

In all honesty, part of me isn't all that suprised she does think she's great looking. Look at the way the general public thinks "beauty" is: huge tits and a small brain. I think Keira is the fucking BEST looking person in the world and if anyone say...

RE: The Cure review

Well. what can I say about this? This is the sort of person who takes the place as a special gig instead of a true fan. The blokes a total liger. It really annoys me and for him to assume Sue fainted to get back stage? well from where I was standing,...
