Key Ring Camera

Looks like one of these cameras would be slightly better than the one I've been using, similar resolution, but it holds 800 snaps... furtively took some pictures today of a guy who looked a bit odd, will post them up here later if they came out OK! T...

It must get terribly boring in Scandinavia at times

Look what they've come up with! It's Miss Softie.

Bling Rings

Wearing your mobile on a cord round your neck

Have people been doing this for ages? I've only just noticed.

RE: Wearing your mobile on a cord round your neck

It's the most annoying thing - I think it started 2 years ago. I never expected people in England to still be doing it.

Nickelback

Not listened to this yet, but it sounds like it might be an amusing bootleg - cunningly mixing Nickelback with Nickelback.Off ring shopping this afternoon, gulp....

Girl with a PERL earring

Nice advent calendar!On a programming tip, my hosting company uksolutions.co.uk just upgraded my account, I've now got half a GB of storage, and five times the data transfer at no extra cost! Up to 25 GB now I think....

Slaughtering cows

1. It was Top Gear for food. A bit contrived, but the cheese bloke was well funny.2. They did show the slaughtering of the cow and, believe me they showed everything. They didn't shy from any of the camera shots. There was the knife, the slitting act...

Farringdon: RUBBISH

Getting really annoyed by the lack of absolutely ANYTHING near to work, here in Farringdon... the lack of cash machines is pain enough, there are a few around but clearly not enough, any time I need one the queues are huge. Even worse was today's que...

One ring

No, not actually one ring, but TWO rings, we just got our wedding rings. Back to Raphael in Hatton Garden again, where we got the engagement ring. No diamond this time though so a bit cheaper.Sorry if I just spammed you, just spotted there are Readin...

Please drive by carefully in our village

One of the very few things I'll miss about not commuting into work on the 243 bus any more is the graffiti. There are some big works by Banksy and others that you get a fine view of from the Kingsland Road. A reallly simple one just said Please drive...

Lord of the Rings - The Musical

Doh, there will be no London opening for a forthcoming musical of JRR Tolkein's (that's who wrote it, did you know that?) Lord Of The Rings, reports The Guardian and many others... This will be the most expensive musical ever made, and there's not a ...

Cheers for persevering there...

I found a book once at Glastonbury, and when I finished reading it I passed it on in the same random way. Found a book on the train to Folkestone just recently too, it would be nice to mark them, just in case someone who's also playing the game picks...

Marble Plastering

Hmm, maybe will have it marble plastered, by my cousin's new venture The Marble Plastering Company.

"if you haven't already had a peek, go up to the bayle and have a look at window, no 13 the bayle."

That was the advice from folkestonefringe.com, so I did.Probably not worth making a major detour for. Perhaps it changes every day though and brightens up someones walk to work, from the niceness of The Bayle into the grimness of the town centre....

Someone Likes Yoghurt

So, that Lone Star Comedy night is a bit good isn't it? This week's lineup of Richard Herring, Gary Delaney and Owen Niblock plus resident compere Danny James were fantastic. It was my first trip to Lanterns, but those stairs are worth climbing. It's...

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Well, great weekend in London with all the family, though it got off to a bit of a damp start for me... Left work at 5, picked up some beers and headed to our hotel to meet Clare, and got caught in the FIERCEST downpour ever! Frantically tried to dry...

oh i'm inspiring..

thats rather nice. Means I'll have to get up to date now tho'...

Clarke Family of Wymering

Hi I am doing some research on a Clarke family for a friend of mine and wondered if there might be a connection?Edward Clarke b.1807 Hereford married Jemima Blanche Chapman 1828 St Mary's Portsea. Their first child Edward Boynton Clarke was born in P...

I have a dream

No not a good dream at all, I dreamt that I sold Clare's engagement ring, not just for less than it's worth, but the money I got for it all turned out to be fake. When I was half awake this morning I thought it was true and was so upset and confused....

Danny's not compering the Lone Star Comedy any more :-(

It's delivering time...

Our new bookcases from John Lewis are on their way at last! These were wedding presents (well bought with vouchers we got as wedding gifts), and we're fast approaching our half year anniversary. So, they're being delivered at last on Thursday, then w...

Cheers, reassuring

Robot phone answering squirrel!

Someone's at mit.edu made a robot phone answering squirrel! I don't think that's a real squirrel they made that out of.Via makezine.com....

Peter Stringfellow

He was in an all white leisure suit thingy, and he looked not unlike the man from Del-Monte. Shoes were brown loafers w/o socks, which must have smelt like fuck. He stayed for about an hour in total, and seemed to be enjoying himself, as he was smili...

Sergeant Boyden from The Bill

Drinking Guinness, and talking like an ac-tor. He was also very touchy-feely with a woman who had a bad perm.
Seemed like a nice enough bloke though.
Sean Hughes' local boozer too..... he's often in there, with a gang of groupies...

I was on my way to the last Track & Field when he slinked past me looking very timid, heading towards the tube.

Power broke down during their set. They're not really acoustic unplugged types, and they stormed off.
