HelloToday I started a new website, this is it. It's going to be a kind of weblog, a place for me to post links and stuff, and if anyone else likes it, in the words of the song, that's a bonus.Today I am mostly liking this house more than this, this, and ... OLD STUFF!There's a Titanic exhibition opening at the Science museum next week... My Grandad's cousin (or is it second cousin?) Charles Valentine Clarke was lost on the Titanic.... Barfly Glasgow"http://www.barflyclub.com/listings/glasgow.html" Barfly Glasgow has gone live with the new code what I done writ. Oh, and I saw a policeman on a little moped today. That's the most exciting thing that has happened all day. I might buy some "http://w... The pain, the angstTrouser shop was closed, but I need something "smart casual" for later in the week, what's a guy to do? Felt like punishing myself so am listening to the new Stereophonics album "You gotta go there to come back"... some nice guitar sounds on it, but ... More Folkestone housesGot some more houses to browse, at CT19 6BT (128k), CT19 4HZ (150k and actually Cheriton) and CT19 6AL (215k) - prices are rising, have I left it too late? All probably a bit far from the station anyway.... Natural History MuseumSpent an exhausting day yesterday at the Natural History Museum with the nephews, first time I've been there since I can remember. They have a whole lot of dead animals there! It's reassuring that they're still not killing animals to put in jars and ... Science MuseumSpent all day at the Science Museum today, there are tonnes of good activities there for the kids. Lunch was better today, the canteens and restaurants there are a lot better than the Natural History Museum, but we took packed lunch anyway. Going bac... House prices fallingThe flat next to us seems to have been reduced in price, that's a good sign... Not that I am interested in buying round here now. Just linked myself to Blogarama.... Science Museum AgainWent to the Lord of the Rings exhibition at the Science Museum at last, and it's over-priced-merchandise-TASTIC!

M.me MWe used to do something similarusing the plastic trays which bread is delivered to shops in, going down concrete steps. Great when you're a bit twisted, but your coccyx feels it the next day!Got invited by an existing userIt's like the freemasons or something... no I think when they are happy with their latest level of testing, they allow everyone with an address to invite someone new, which increases their userbase at a manageable rate... you want one then?The referee needs someone else to abuse him!It still hurts just thinking about that game and that idiot.Poor wee mouseA fright in the house yesterday, Clare found a mouse, alive this time though. Much shrieking and panicking, so I dressed up as a fat housekeeper in brightly coloured tights, climbed on a chair and beat it to death with a big broom. No, wait, that was...

Another day, another mouseFound another mouse in our kitchen, alive again. This one looked a lot healthier, lessly wobbly and confused, but he still didn't make any effort to run away. Just look at this cute little feller. I put him out in the street and he scurried away, pro... Monster HouseWatched Monster House yesterday, and it's rubbish. I quite enjoyed Monster Garage when I saw it, they took a Porsche and turned it into a mobile golf ball gathering cannon, so I was looking forward to seeing the same techniques applied to a house. Bu... Hey buddy can you spare some cat poo?A proper frightener yesterday in the mouse department, one up on the sideboard... Clare SCREAMED, which dazed the mouse a bit. He scarpered side to side, realised he was stuck on the side (how did he get up there?) and then took a leap. He did at lea...

Fireplace WarehouseJust spotted <a href="http://www.fireplacewarehouse.co.uk/">this</a> in a local paper, sounds like the sort of place we're after. Crap website though.That is better than the computer I use at workProperly blow it up, get some dynamite, and video it too!

Chaos in the house!Looks like there are going to be new measures in place following today's storming of the House of Commons by pro fox killing types.
