I watched “Lab Rats” last night. It’s a new comedy show on the BBC, set in a research lab in a university. I thought it was quite a good idea for a comedy show, I don’t think the lab has been done before in a sitcom (well, I can’t think of anything other than the…

It’s been a fairly busy week! I’ll try and remember what we’ve been up to… on Friday night we helped out at ’21’. That was the penultimate study for this term – the last one will be on Friday, which we are leading (scary!). On Saturday evening we went round to Anne-Marie’s to watch the…

For those of you not in the know (which included me up until a couple of days ago), a ‘Macro’ is apparently a new word for images which have got text superimposed on them – usually for humurous effect. So, basically captions, except written on the image. Apparently there are a lot of these with…

Last night we had a few people round to watch “The Beast with a Billion Backs”, the new Futurama film (it’s only just been released on DVD in the UK). It was brilliant! Incredibly random, more so than “Bender’s Big Score”, but very funny in places. Some lines were absolutely hilarious. I don’t want to…

The title says it all really! On Friday evening went to help out with ’21’, the Fordham youth group, which was good fun. On Saturday morning, we went to Colchester Food & Drink festival in Castle Park. It was packed with stalls selling lots of lovely things – we managed to spend quite a bit…

We watched the film “Blood Diamond” the other night. It was really good! – probably not the kind of film you want to watch a lot though, because it was quite harrowing in places. The film focusses on Solomon Vandy, a man who gets caught up in the civil war in Sierra Leone in 1999.…

Ok, that title made no sense, other than the fact that I want to mention sox: (if you don’t know what sox is, you can probably skip this post). I use it in a script to upload CDs to Fordham. However, when I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.02, it seemed to stop working – it kept…

I mentioned in a previous post the debate held between Christopher Hitchens and Alister McGrath. To be completely honest, I think Christopher Hitchens presented the more persuasive arguments – I think McGrath is more of a preacher and a writer than a debater! I just came across a series of letters (well, emails) between Christopher…

I got a statement through from the Student Loans Company the other day. Apparently, during the period between April 2007-March 2008, I’d paid off £32. I’d also accrued £190 worth of interest! What the heck?!!! I know I’ve been paying my student loan off every month, much to my chagrin – seeing over £100 of…

This weekend was fairly pleasant! We helped out at ’21’ on Friday evening, which went well. On Saturday morning I popped into town to get a few bits and pieces, and then in the afternoon we went round to Anne-Marie’s to watch Doctor Who. I thought this week’s episode was really good (again!) – Russell…
