I’ve mentioned Pushing Daisies on here a few times before. Although I didn’t like the series all that much to start with, it really grew on me (like a fungus). Anyway, I found this (from James Henry, one of the writers on Green Wing) really funny.

We were doing some more entertaining this weekend! Two weekends in a row, gosh… but more of that in a moment. On Friday evening we helped out at 21 (in the new John Owen Barn at Fordham, which is very impressive). It has an earlier start time than it did last year, so we had…

It be International Talk Like a Pirate Day. I be likin’ some of them FAQs, like this one, arrrrrr: Q. When is Talk Like A Pirate Day 2006 (2007, 2008, etc.)? A. International Talk Like a Pirate Day isn’t one o’ those governmentally sanctioned holidays that shifts around to create a convenient three-day weekend. No,…

We had a couple of friends from Germany (Peter and Martina) staying this weekend. We’d been out to visit them last year, so it was good to be able to return the favour. They arrived on Saturday morning, just in time for lunch. Afterwards we headed out to Nayland for a walk around the countryside…

Apologies for nicking the post title (and pretty much the post content) from Joel Spolsky, but… YES! THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! *ahem* Let me explain. These days, it seems that there are hundreds of websites which you need usernames and passwords for. Unless you’ve got an exceptionally good memory, you probably…

So you’ve probably heard of the Large Hadron Collider that’s being turned on today.There are a group of people who are worried that the LHC will somehow manage to destroy the earth. Ok everybody, all together now, to the tune of the Eastenders theme: “Everyone is gonna die; we’re all gonna be killed in a…

Otherwise known as, ‘The Weekend’! All will become clear shortly. So. On Friday night we didn’t do very much, as is the case these days! On Saturday we went out to do a bit of shopping in the morning, and then in the afternoon went round to Anne-Marie’s to watch some of the BBC’s version…

I might have mentioned recently that we were having our garden treated by GreenThumb. They came on the Friday before we went on holiday (15th August) and sprayed the garden with a weedkiller, and then a fertiliser (well, the fertiliser was in sort of capsules and not in liquid form, but still). It should be…

Zeth once said that GNU was “a good joke in 1984 but a crap name.” I agree, it’s not the most inspired of names – but nevertheless it seems to have stuck. Still, this time I think whoever picks names for projects has outdone themselves. I found out (from Stephen Fry’s Blog) about “gNewSense“. I…

Last week was fairly uneventful! As I mentioned in my last post, we basically spent the week doing decorating our bedroom. We’d painted the walls last year, but the skirting boards were in dire need of painting (I don’t think they’d been painted in years), and we needed to tidy up a few things, i.e.…
