Alright, Mr Gordon Brown is listening to me...

Another petition, regarding a tax on plastic bags. With the news that M&S are stopping giving them away, things are rollling in a greener direction. With this, and the recent sunday newspaper story that Brucie probably WILL be getting his knighthood ...

Didn't go to Canterbury all weekend!

Imagine that... Overslept Sunday morning, so we went to Escondido for lunch instead. The chef got my food wrong again, so for the second time in a row mine came free, that's nice. Apparently Escondido weren't quite recovered from a disaster the previ...

Frank Skinner last night

Quite a good gig last night, Frank was funny and rude, and likeable because of his self depracating ways. He did two sets, with an interval, and then came back to do a little song on his banjo too. He's on tour for another two months, so see him if y...

Roundup

Interview yesterday was good, but it's a small company and I'm still after more money than they can afford. It wis great to work on interesting projects, but I'm still holding out for a higher wage too right now, we have a mortgage and want a new hou...

Indian summer

Nice day again today then, I thought when the weather turned a bit ropey on the first of the month that we were due six months of winter... going to be in the eighties today, and looking good for our weekend too.Several more job applications in, noth...

How am I letting this slip now I have more time on my hands..?

Is that another week with nothing to say? Been a bit busy with all the eating and drinking and partying surrounding the wedding. Never mind the happy couple, let's have a picture of Clare and I looking all scrubbed up:Can I remember precisely what I'...

RE: Anyone's opinion on the town I live in is of interest to me

I honestly don't think anyone who looked at it would have regarded it in any way. They would have probably ignored it. It's a public journal, but still personal to me. I agree with Dean, I don't know if you saw his comment - "This isn't fair, I r...

I am gutted mate

Bobster here.I too have unexpectedly become an unemployed. I hope you are not having to take your employer to court like me? Good luck finding something cool that involves hunking loads of data about, I know you love that.I have had an idea for a s...

What I done on my weekend

Huge weekend then, we really packed quite a lot in. Started off with a Friday off, though still a commute up to London, we had our trips to Admiralty House and Number 10, through Clare's work.Instead of snoozing on the way up to London I took the opp...

Chops!

Started the weekend with a super rarity, drinks in Farringdon. Been trying to meet up with a couple of the Fareham boys who are commuters too and work in the area, and this week no-one had a good excuse not to do it, so it's all on - To The Eagle. It...

Fastr

Fastr - a game based on flickr... guess the common tag of the pictures that appear, the quicker you do the more points you get.Got to do more work on my ajax database selector today - when you come back to a form to edit it, the selector is just BLAN...

Now that's just mean

In the same weekend that the whole nation gets weepy about one (1) dead whale, there's more news about brazillions of grey squirrels being culled.Great weekend of comedy and sort of DIY. Went to the Lanterns comedy night Saturday, and quite literally...

Comedy Club

Bah missed the latest comedy club this Saturday but there's a special one off for the Folkestone Literary Festival featuring the following acts: ROBIN INCE (back after appearing at the club just last June, Robin has promised to perform the best bits ...

Let it snow let it snow let it snow

GREAT weekend, which I will come back to as it's time to do some work. Bit cold, but very nice to see Clare's bro who was visiting from the Americas. He and his wife and their little dog live and work in Miami, and don't get to visit that often so we...

well apparently

the whole eXeem thing has been a major disappointment. it was billed as a next big step in p2p but basically it is an amalgamation of an edonkey client with bittorrent with some spyware chucked in. it was implied that it would be untraceable as it di...

You have to come up with an idea

then it has to become popular, then you have to cash in on it at the right time. Easy eh? Best if you can find some way to exploit what you already do to, if you have to learn a new thing before you start your big venture, then you're starting at a d...

well

not much really - been fairly busy at work in the world of law. been doing lots of commercial property law. also been spending a lot of time thinking about how to become that phil tyrone bloke off engagdet - curious to know if he looked like a total ...

Let's see those hands in the air...

The Darkness tonight at Brixton Academy, looking forward to this, haven't seen them play since the Barfly Music Passport show, this'll be only the third time this year... really wanted to see them again, couldn't face going to Wembley, so was pleased...

Organic lager?

Peter - have you become very green? I remember a young man whose idea of an evening sharpener was a few litres of nitrous oxide.

Darkness review

How good can one weekend get, seeing The Cure, The Pet Shop Boys and finally The Darkness all in the hottest venue in town, all Music Passport charity shows too...Fantastic show, wish you all could have been there, it was hot but not too hot, it was...

Earls Avenue

Have seen BILLIONS of places down in Folkestone so far this week, the star of which has been a mad 3 bed flat over two levels which has it's own bar, roof terrace, separate dining room, lounge, TV room AND study, but the thing that's been stopping me...

Going to the zoo, zoo, zoo

You can come too, too, too... I don't think I like zoos, I don't like the idea of them that's for sure, but apparently I agreed already.

Agreeing to put up news for a mate while drunk:

I was wondering if you could give the band I look after APES a plug on the site? They play THE WATER RATS this Thursday (28th) supporting DNA Doll. They're on about 8.45pm I think.They are a Japanese Punk three-piece based in London. This show has pl...
