I keep forgetting this is on and nearly missing it. Tonight was a real treat. Paul Simon did a couple of songs, including Graceland. David Gilmour played something from his new solo album, with two-thirds of Crosby, Stills & Nash on backing vocals, and wrapped the show up with Arnold Layne. The surprise act was […]

Its all “I” on blogs isn’t it?
May 27th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Life
Having been tagged by the timelord, I suppose I am honour-bound to make an attempt at this meme where you have to complete all these statements. I would rather not, but lets have a crack anyway… I am older than I feel I want Pink Floyd to get back together for one last tour I […]
Stranded
May 26th, 2006 · 32 Comments · Life
My few days’ holiday are not really going as planned. I had hoped for better weather and expected to have a car available, so instead of maybe popping across to Kent for a cream tea we are sat indoors watching the persistant drizzle. However, its not all bad. At least the rain means the street […]
Shiny Happy People
May 26th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Politics
We have Sky News projected onto one of our wall screens at work so that we can get some warning if there is another major tube crash or terrorist attack. The other day it was showing just-call-me-Dave Cameron making a speech and one of our network people commented on how shiny he is. Since then […]
Annual Council
May 25th, 2006 · 3 Comments · Politics
Friday night is Crawley's annual council, which should be interesting. Having taken control, the Tories have, apparently, offered a couple of committee chairs and the deputy mayor post to Labour, although they have, I believe, specified who they want to have those positions. I have mixed feelings about this. For years the Tories have complained […]
New VCR goodness
May 25th, 2006 · Comments Off on New VCR goodness · Music, Technology
Back in January my old VCR died, and I was reconciled to living without access to the few essential things I still have on VHS. This week I managed to lay my hands on one in return for a token donation to a charity, and 4 months late I was able to watch a bit […]
Ladder
May 25th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Life
This ladder has been propped against the wall of this house for over a month now. Its like an illustration from a crime prevention leaflet. I bet they also have an unlocked shed full of tools which can be used to force an entry…

Dead car
May 24th, 2006 · Comments Off on Dead car · Technology
My car died yesterday. I had a meeting in Reading and decided to drive there instead of taking the train. I very rarely drive at all and just felt it would make a change. Us having a new MP3/WMA-capable CD player in the car may have had something to do with. I know I have […]
Why Wednesday?
May 24th, 2006 · Comments Off on Why Wednesday? · Life
This year the cycle racing in Crawley town centre is on a Wednesday. The first two races were held on Sundays. I would have thought it was easier to arrange all the road closures on a Sunday. Should be fun though
Rainbow

One advantage of our current torrential drought, is that you do get some nice rainbows. I snapped this while dodging the rain on the way back from the shops yesterday.
