I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

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…

Play.com download service
I was looking on play.com yesterday for a CD, and happened to notice that they’d just launched a new download service. It appears that you can download DRM-free MP3s there. Nice! The only thing is, albums are priced on average at around £7-8. This seems a little excessive for an album, especially considering that you…

Getting slack!
I’m getting slack with updating this blog! I do apologise… NOT!! Bwahahahaha. Ahem. Anyway. the weekend, then… on Friday evening we helped out at 21 again. We were leading this week… it went pretty well for me – it was the first time I’ve ever played my guitar for a group of people! I only…

Music built to last
I was thinking the other day – an occupation I seldom get involved with, I hasten to add – and I was wondering what music now will be around in years to come. We’re living in an age of pop music – there is probably more music produced now, per year, than there has ever…
