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.

  • The Weekend

    I just thought I’d better make my customary ‘The Weekend’ post, seeing as if I didn’t some of you might be worried! I didn’t do very much at all, actually. On Sunday morning I went to Fordham, that was good! On Sunday afternoon Philippa got back from Austria, so she came round. In the evening…

  • Some good TV!

    There was some good TV on this evening! Firstly, I thought I’d check out “Extras”, a new comedy by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant (of “The Office” fame). One of the reasons I decided to watch it was because it had Ben Stiller in it! It was actually really good, I was very impressed. I’ll…

  • More bombs on the tube…

    …but this time, apparently they’re only minor (only detonators involved, no actual explosive). It just makes me wonder, “What’s the point?!?!” What on earth are you trying to do? I mean, that’s barely even terrorism – it’s like performing a bank raid with a few cap guns or something. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad…

  • Hospital Radio Colchester

    Last night I guest presented on the late show with Simon. It reminded me of how much I enjoy doing radio work! It was great fun. Despite me getting 0/5 on the ‘Beat the intro’ game (I am rubbish at intros… particularly pop type stuff. Although I should have known the intro to that Abba…

  • The Weekend

    Ah, the customary ‘The Weekend’ post… so, what did I get up to this weekend? Let me try and remember… on Friday, I went to stay with my parents overnight. On Saturday I came back to Colchester in the afternoon, then in the evening I went round to Sarah and Jon’s (or at least, the…

  • Blogs suck.

    It’s official! – blogs suck. banish the word… Actually, I think the guy has a point. I admit that I am a blogger, but I’m not pretentious about it… I don’t want people to read it because I think I have something valuable to contribute to the ‘net community. It’s just something for my friends…

  • It’s too hot!

    It’s far too hot! I came into work this morning to hear the servers making a hell of a racket and displaying warning messages on the front panels… apparently, one of the air conditioning units failed and another one started blasting out hot air! Still, it seems to be cooler in there now. Anyway, what…

  • The Weekend

    Well, after a rather depressing week last week (or at least, the second half), I had a good weekend! On Friday evening, Philippa came round for dinner and we just spent the evening practising some music for Sunday morning (as we were helping with the music at the chaplaincy) and relaxing. On Saturday, we went…

  • More thoughts

    Well, I said I’d post something else when I actually had something to write, so here I am! Just a few more thoughts about earlier really. I’ve never been affected in such a way by a terrorist attack before. It really hit me hard this time. I think this was because I’ve never had such…

  • London

    Just wanted to post up about the terrorist attack on London this morning. I really don’t know what to think at the moment. I just wanted to post up a message saying I’m thinking and praying for those who were involved and their family & friends! I hate to sound too much like George W…
