I’ve been meaning to write something on this topic for a while now, and I think I’ve probably missed the boat, but that’s never stopped me before so why stop now? Petrol prices have been rising steadily since I can remember. However, in the past few months they’ve risen steeply – it now costs well…

It was a rather nice weekend, actually! On Friday night, after work, I headed down to stay with Phil’s parents for the weekend (Phil had already gone down on Thursday, I didn’t leave her at home for the weekend!) After dinner we went out to have a cup of tea with a few friends we…

I happened to be searching Google Maps for churches near Colchester today (I’m not looking for a new church, just wanted to check how the Fordham site was doing 🙂 and came across something rather bizarre. As you can see, Google seems to think “Places of Worship” fall under the same category as… “Bus Station”.…

When I got back home this evening, I found a couple of pieces of junk mail on the mat. One was from Virgin Media, sending through their usual two-weekly advert for broadband. Seriously, does anyone know how one can get removed from their spammy junk mail? Virgin Media, if you’re reading: IF I DIDN’T WANT…

… that’s actually a line from “Spaceballs” (The Movie), I thought I should probably point that out just in case you missed it. (It is a rather short quote, after all). This weekend has been mainly very hot. So hot in fact, that we didn’t really do much over the weekend! on Friday evening we…

I bought “Soundsystem 01” by Hybrid last week. It’s not an artist album, it’s more of a mix album. There are two CDs: the first is an ambient, film-soundtrack kind of CD. The second one is more of a DJ set, reflecting the kind of tunes which are in their record box at the moment…

Well, when I say “my” PC, I mean, your PC. That’s right – you in the blue shirt. Quick! Everybody! Over to that guy’s PC!!! NOW!!! … *ahem* um, sorry, got a bit carried away there. One of the mildly annoying things about Virgin Radio is the adverts they run. They’ve been repeating one a…

Not much to say this weekend. It was fairly quiet for once! On Saturday afternoon we went round to Anne-Marie’s to help out with some gardening. I have to say, I think it went quite well. The garden now looks much more like a garden again (as opposed to a jungle), and although we couldn’t…

You get some really bizarre things in the news. Such as this, for example. Apparently people have been using the internet to hire contract killers… one woman even put up an ad on Craigslist. How stupid can they be? Anyway, if you fancy earning a bit of cash on the side at weekends, why not…

This weekend was mainly spent travelling to and from Manchester! On Friday night we did ’21’ at Fordham. As the youth leader was away we had to prepare and lead the study ourselves. It seemed to go pretty well anyway, I think most of the kids enjoyed it. On Saturday morning we drove round to…
