Lisa has been writing about this article in the Guardian last week. The article starts with a statistic from Napster, that the average person owns 126 albums, of which 37 have been lost, leaving just 89. It goes on to speculate which 89 albums you should own if that is the case. I was faintly […]

Boys toys?
November 21st, 2005 · Comments Off on Boys toys? · Technology
Us boys (even us boys over 40) just love gadgets we don’t actually need, as long as they have enough features, and this is a fantastic toy! Radio controlled planes are cool enough in their own right, but add in a digital camera so you can do amateur aerial photography, and a radio-controlled bomb bay… […]

Another road death in Crawley
November 21st, 2005 · Comments Off on Another road death in Crawley · Life
If you live outside the Crawley area you probably did not see this story about a 13-year-old boy who died in an accident yesterday on the A23. The police say they are not releasing his name until tomorrow, but everyone here in Broadfield seems to know who it is. He was at Broadfield East Middle […]

Mobile phones and health. And other dangers.
November 21st, 2005 · Comments Off on Mobile phones and health. And other dangers. · Technology
According to this story there is to be another study on the effects of mobile phones on the health of children. Scientists in Australia are to measure effects on 300 children aged 12 and 13 for 3 years. The only problem I can see is that a proper scientific study requires a control group, or […]

That would be an ecumenical matter…
November 20th, 2005 · Comments Off on That would be an ecumenical matter… · Life
After delivering our Labour newsletters today, we all went off to church as a family (all except Frankie who was at work). Now we are not a religious family. Personally I am not even a bit spiritual, but I suspect that is my loss, and I feel a bit jealous of those who do have […]

Delivering for Labour
November 20th, 2005 · Comments Off on Delivering for Labour · Politics
This morning Jayne and I dragged the kids out so they could bond with us while we delivered Labour newsletters. Also so they could deal with any houses which looked like they might contain vicious dogs It may have been a frosty morning but it was extremely bright, as the glare in all these pictures […]

Jo is not the only one to find it frosty this morning. This is a photo of the roof of our car today.
Politically incorrect maybe, but…

…I did not allocate them to this table, and I did not even notice the poster on the wall when I took the picture. In mitigation, all I can say is that it does make a great photo, and that the family would probably see the funny side of it. (Also I am getting to […]
Not a real name surely?
November 19th, 2005 · Comments Off on Not a real name surely? · Music
I was having a look at the Shlomo website and found this in the biography section: It was then that Shlo met Orifice Vulgatron, founder of Dented Records and front man of multi-national award-winning hip-hop act Foreign Beggars What a great name! But I suspect that Orifice Vulgatron is not the name he was given […]
Shlomo
November 19th, 2005 · Comments Off on Shlomo · Music
I have been watching Later with Jools Holland on the TV, and amongst all the ‘normal’ musicians there was a bloke called Shlomo who does a human beatbox routine. I don’t think its something I could listen to a whole album of, in fact I am sure I couldn’t, but in short bursts it is […]
