Day: 21 November 2005

Ok, here’s what I’ve been up to this weekend. On Friday evening, Philippa came round for dinner and then we went back to Ipswich to see my parents. We stayed overnight, and came back again on Saturday afternoon. That evening we didn’t do much, just had a relaxing evening in! I think I needed it after last week…

Yesterday, I went to Fordham in the morning. Then I had lunch, and practised the songs I had to play in the evening at the service. The evening service went quite well actually, Andy Saville was speaking about the Da Vinci Code… I haven’t read the book, but I’d heard that it was a load of rubbish. It was interesting hearing about the counter to various ‘claims’ made in the book, and the inaccuracies etc there!

Anyway. Afterwards, Philippa and I went back to mine and ate hot dogs and watched a couple of episodes of “Spaced” (something I haven’t done in a long time, not since the Claremont Road days!)

Right, I think that’s about it from me now anyway.

Just read a brilliant post on Scott Adams’ blog. Here’s a quote:

It occurred to me recently after having surgery for my deviated septum that lots of Al Qaeda members must need that same procedure. When Amnesty International finds out that we gave free medical care to prisoners, that won’t sound so bad. And yet I can tell you from my own experience that by the second day I would have given up the missile launch codes to make the pain stop. And if I didn’t know the codes I would be willing to torture someone who did until I got them.

So there we go! Add that to the list of ways to torture people that are legal, which currently stands at “playing them Celine Dion CDs”, “playing them hundreds of Des O’Connor records”, and “making them listen to Simon’s radio show on Hospital Radio Colchester” (kidding! just kidding! – it’s really very good)…
