Well, it’s been a fairly busy weekend! On Friday evening, we headed down to Phil’s parents to stay for the weekend. We got there at around 7:30, and then just had dinner and just spent the rest of the evening rather quietly! On Saturday we met up with a couple of friends for a little…

After a couple of weeks of pulling in pretty good, solid episodes (one of them being one of the best episodes I think Torchwood has done – ‘Reset’), they put out ‘Dead Man Walking’. I’m sorry, but — well, it was just poor! The episode just didn’t really make much sense, end-to-end. We also watched…

I just love Rule 51 of the Oxford Union Society Rules: Rule 51: Dogs Any Member introducing or causing to be introduced a dog into the Society’s premises shall be liable to a fine of £5 inflicted by the Treasurer. Any animal leading a blind person shall be deemed to be a cat. Any animal…

I’ve been looking round for a new Linux MP3 player for a while now. My previous MP3 player of choice was XMMS, but that’s getting old now and I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to be around (and supported) for. The interface itself, despite using Winamp skins, is pretty old and horrible –…

It was my last day at work on Friday! Although I’m technically still working there until the end of this week, I had five days holiday left so I’ve got a few days off before starting my new job (next Monday). It was quite a good day – a few people came down to the…

Have you ever felt that there’s just simply not enough thrill about your eating experiences? Have you ever wanted to dine while floating through mid-air? Well, look no further, because Dinner in the Sky is here! You eat at a table suspended 50m above ground, giving the food that additional “death-defying” feel. I hasted to…

I was listening to Virgin Radio last night, and Ben Jones interviewed Matt Bellamy of Muse. What interested me was Matt’s response to the possibility of doing the new Bond theme. Virgin Radio have been saying that Muse should do the new Bond theme for a while, and a lot of people agree (see the…

This weekend was good fun. On Saturday, Phil’s parents came up to help us with the garden. We planted a few new shrubs and things, including some Seedums (if that’s how you spell it) and a Cotinus (again, not sure about spelling). We also planted a couple of little trees which I’m not even going…

When I say “Meese”, I of course mean the plural of ‘Moose’. Apparently a man was nearly killed by a falling moose. The article does not specify whether the moose had a mighty mullet or was minging, but I believe it to be unlikely…

There’s been a bit of a debate recently about the blasphemy laws in this country. Various people have weighed in on both sides, with MPs wanting the law abolished but certain members of the Christian community wanting the ban to remain. My opinion is that the law should be repealed. I think it’s pointless: who…
