Bad Science
In the break area at work, they have a few crappy gossip magazines on the table (don’t know who brings them in, the one I’m referring to is called “That’s Life“). I don’t usually read them, but I was grabbing a drink and noticed the page had been left open at a ‘tips’ page. One

Biblical morals
I’ve been having a discussion in the comments thread of Caity’s blog post on Kindness. The discussion revolves around the concept of morality: can we be ‘moral’ if there is no God? My contention is that without the concept of God, there can be no absolute morals. By that I mean, no morals which would

Texting while driving
I read an article today about a woman who was texting whilst driving, and ended up smashing into a stationary car at 70mph. It seems absurd to me that in this day and age, where the dangers of using mobile phones while driving are constantly stressed, that people persist in doing it. When I was

Snow joke!
Apologies for the rather poor (and ancient) pun. We are currently in the middle of a snow shower, and it’s made things very difficult for travel. I managed to get into work this morning OK, but I think I’m going to have difficulty on the way back out. The car park is the worst part

ID Cards
Everybody stand back, this is going to be a serious rant. I’ve virtually got steam coming out of my ears right about now! Can anyone believe NuLabour and their stance on ID Cards? I simply cannot believe some of the crap they’ve spouted about it. Apparently “Wacky” Jacqui Smith said (on cards being available from

The Airborne Toxic Event
Recently on Absolute Radio they’ve been playing some really good new music. One of the songs they’ve been playing is called “Close to Midnight” by The Airborne Toxic Event. I liked it so much that I went out and bought the album, which arrived just over a week ago. I’ve had the chance to listen

Colchester Winter Ale Festival
This weekend was the good kind of busy. On Friday night we went to 21 and I did a talk on Judges 6 (Gideon and the Midianites who say “Ni”). It seemed to go pretty well, despite me inadvertantly calling bits of the Bible boring! I don’t envy whoever has to do the talk on

More wedding DJing
Those of you with excellent memories will remember that I DJ’d at Ian and Lucy’s wedding in May. It wasn’t a long set, but a couple of the people there are getting married this year and have got in touch asking me if I would like to DJ at their wedding. The only drawback with

Selling a car and a comedy-a-thon
This weekend was a pretty quiet one actually – which I think we both needed! Friday evening we didn’t do much – just watch the usual selection of TV. I like the fact that QI is back 🙂 On Saturday we did a bit of shopping. We bought ourselves a new Kenwood food processor and

Update on selling the car
Well, I’ve now got 27 people watching the auction! Not only that, but someone has made a bid. Yay! So, if you’re interested in a Hyundai Lantra, now’s your chance 🙂 At the time of writing there are 3 days, 22 hours left on the auction. Get it while you can! 😉
