A wise man once said…
“There’s more evil in the charts than an Al-Qaeda suggestion box” — Bill Bailey, ‘Part Troll’ I can confirm that this is, in fact, completely true. I’ve just listened through Now 70, and the second half of the second CD was actually painful for me to listen to. It’s just so vapid, so devoid of

Nice weekend
I had a rather nice weekend, although unfortunately Phil was away at a hen weekend (I should point out that Phil being away had nothing to do with me having a nice weekend!) On Friday night I went to Rollerworld and Quasar with 21. I didn’t actually skate, but I think all the kids did

Well, it had to happen sometime
I’m ashamed to admit it, but… I’ve started learning to play “Stairway to Heaven” on the guitar. Just the intro bit. I tried it not long after I’d started learning, but I couldn’t manage it! Now I’ve been playing a bit longer, I think my fingers are a bit more nimble so it’s a little

Seven down, one go to!
I’m talking about weddings, of course! Last Saturday was Andy B and Helen’s wedding, which was held at St Osyth Parish Church. We managed to get there in good time (it doesn’t take very long from Colchester). It was a beautiful day, Andy and Helen were really lucky! Anyway, the service itself was lovely –

Google Maps
Don’t ask me why, but this cartoon made me laugh like a Hyena on laughing gas. (Yeah, crap metaphor, but what you gonna do?). (Note: the cartoon doesn’t display properly with the current blog design, it gets truncated, so you’ll have to click the link above to see the full version)

Keanely anticipating…
Just wanted to say, I’ve booked some tickets for me and Phil to go and see Keane at the O2 on 13th February next year! In internet terminology, “w00t” 🙂 I’ve been wanting to see them live for ages now, “Under the Iron Sea” is probably one of my favourite albums ever, and the new

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
We had a quieter weekend this time round! On Friday evening were at ’21’, where I was doing the talk (on Grace). It seemed to go pretty well, Grace is a very big subject but I hope that the kids understand it a bit better now 🙂 On Saturday we did the usual shopping in

The Rabbi with a Billion Backs
Ok, this is probably one of the most random articles I’ve read in a long time. So strange, in fact, that it’s virtually like something out of “The Beast with a Billion Backs” (the latest Futurama offering, in case you didn’t know). I should say, before I start, that I do realise this is an

Facebook apps be for pirates, arrrr….
Something weird just happened on Facebook. As some of you may know I have a Facebook Photo Uploader desktop application. I was looking about the “about” page for it (checking if there were any new death threats / hate messages on the discussion forum), and then clicked on the “Browse more applications” button. I then

Six down, two to go
I’m talking about weddings, of course! We’ve now been to six weddings this year – only another two to go before the year is out… It went very well, anyway. It was in Cambridge, so we travelled up by train on Saturday morning and got there in plenty of time. The journey up was actually
