I went to the cinema last night with Alex and John to see the new ‘League of Gentlemen’ film. I was actually very impressed! Considering that I didn’t like Series 3 much, and the Christmas special wasn’t all that and a bag of potato chips, it was all the more impressive! They’d gone back to…

On Saturday, I received my copy of ‘X&Y’, the new album by Coldplay. I’m still in the process of re-listening to it, but my first impressions were on the first couple of listens were that it’s really good! As with all Coldplay stuff it will take a while to get into, but it’s worth it!…

Well, I am now all moved in to the new place. Furniture has been put up, other things unpacked… it’s good! The drive to work this morning was surprisingly painless as well. It was busy, but not as busy as I thought it was going to be. In fact, it was definitely not as busy…

I just wanted to write a quick post to say that I have now finally moved into the new place in Colchester 🙂 It does seem a bit weird at the moment, I don’t think the fact that I’ve moved has actually sunk in. No doubt it will soon! Anyway. Because the internet hasn’t been…

Probably not – or at least, in my case, only if you’re really sad. There are many translation services available on the internet. Most of them aren’t that great. However, they can be quite fun… check out Google Translation, and type in the web addresses of some well-known websites. Translate from English to German (or…

Don’t you just love the government? [sarcasm] They really do have it spot on with ID cards [/sarcasm]. How on earth anyone can take them seriously anymore I don’t know. I’m just hoping their reduced majority in parliament will make it much more difficult to push through ridiculous bills like the ID card scheme.

Yay! I finally picked up the new car yesterday evening! It’s nice 🙂 It’s so much better to drive in than my decrepit old Rover 216, it’s just generally a smoother drive. Took me a while to get used to the pedals, but I think I’m getting the hang of it. As Quagmire from Family…

It’s been a busy day. Had to be up at normal time this morning to get down to London for my Nan’s funeral. It was a good funeral as they go – a very fitting tribute! I’ve also hired (or reserved) a van for moving on Saturday into the new place. Also I am getting…

Just another ‘the weekend’ post 🙂 I did go to Ikea on Saturday, and picked up some nice furniture – quite cheap, too! Travelling there wasn’t too bad until you actually got into Lakeside, it wasn’t so much that it was busy – it was just knowing which exit to take on various roundabouts! Still,…

Well, tomorrow it’s off to Ikea to pick up some furniture for the new flat! I know that a lot of people don’t like Ikea because (as someone said to me yesterday) “we’ll all end up with houses that look exactly the same!”. This is true. But still, I think it’s a good place to…
