The fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square

This live stream doesn't work from work, so just checking it out now. Bit boring, it's a lady sat down under an umbrella.

That book that people keep ebaying at �400

This book, that someone keeps trying to sell at around the four hundred quid mark, someone's just put a copy on at only ten pounds. That's Hans Christian Anderson Fairy Tales, illustrated by Harry Clarke. Not my Harry, this Harry....

Could these baby gadgets cancel each other out?

Now we have Slumber Bear I wonder if he will cause some sort of conflict with the Babysense monitor? We have both, and they are both great, but I wonder... Babysense monitor gives a warning and then an alarm goes off if baby gets out of bed / cot / p...

Another nice day with the family

Kerry and the boys visited today, no Derrick as he's had ANOTHER accident, this time involving a chair lift. How many mirrors must that boy have broken??? Dad came instead again, to keep them company on the trip. Had a nice walk down to the beach and...

Father and son

Surprisingly NOT taken by an expensive professional photographer in a studio... what? OK, it's not a surprise, Clare took this, we were playing about with black and white. I'm not just being vain, I'm not allowed to upload any photos until Clare has ...

Why are these always in Cheshire?

I should plot these on a map, I'm sure they always come up up that way... Habitat Radius Tallboy. We could do with another one now we come to look at how much storage we have and how much stuff to put in it... Have been organising all of the baby clo...

Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix "Phantom" baby seat

Phantom sounds good doesn't it? It's just the colour rather than it being a special stealth baby seat though.Just tried to get one of these in Mothercare, they didn't have one in stock but would order it for me. Their computer system turned out to be...

Don't think I'll bother posting any more lineup info for Red List Live

Have sold 5 of my xbox games

For a grand total of about a tenner I think. I kept the postage prices to a bare minimum, which means it's really not worth my while even writing out these envelopes, bah. Would not consider my first foray into selling on ebay a success. Will reconsi...

Escondido in Deal, don't bother going there!!!

HiWe booked a table for four at escondido in Deal a few months ago when it first opened. When we got there it was absolutely packed and we were told that there were no tables left, we would have to wait at least an hour. Annoyed so we went elsewhere....

The Earl Grey: closed

Seems to be a constant stream of closures at the moment, this town feels like it's dying on its arse at times. I had not been in the Earl Grey for a long time, it wasn't a very appealing pub, but it feels like we ought to be able to support more pubs...

Main meals for �1 at Zizzi

Would you like to be frightened by a clown?Afraid of Clowns? Ever see a movie with a creepy clown and get scared to death? Believe it or not, there are people out there who like to be scared. This idea came to me when a friend mentioned they love sca...

I was just thinking about plectrums the other day

found one in the house, think I got it from a Darkness gig. I used to have tonnes of them from various gigs, but I didn't ever keep track of which one came from which gig. You are lucky, if ever this is a demand for plectrums from Big Country gigs, y...

ho ho ho very festive weekender

Started our weekend at the Christmas of Sorts night at the Whole World Cafe, it was GREAT, though the lady running the cafe was as unwelcoming as ever, perhaps it's her style... The band playing (more of a collective really) were great, I was expecti...

Another friend suggested the XBox solution

RE: Thanks, advice from another friend at work here is NO too

Have you considered the Squeezebox technology from Slim Devices? I've used the Classics before, they stream off your network and each one can be streaming different music. You can jump tracks around too. Logitech bought Slim Devices (last year I t...

Thanks, advice from another friend at work here is NO too

It seems to be just one way communication, sound is streamed from the PC to the airport express, and then I can plug speakers in to that. I can't send anything back the other way to skip a track or anything. This would be slightly worse than the curr...

Another odd looking Bergerac Oak table

Here's another Bergerac Oak dining table with the same odd colouring as the other pieces I've seen on ebay recently... is this maybe an older colour that John Lewis used to do? Our bookcases are the mid coloured "Alsace" range, it's not that, but we ...

Just got a strange MAMA Live email, grouping the Barfly and Mean Fiddler venues together:I know Barfly had taken over Kentish Town Forum, but it looks like even more has gone on now, since I left. Hasn't done anything for their share price though, I ...
