After our meeting on Saturday we headed across to London Bridge. The intention was to visit the London Dungeon, which Jayne has never been to and really wants to see. When we got there we found a queue which went on for ever. One of the assistants estimated that it would take about 2 hours […]

Broadway Cafe
March 25th, 2007 · Comments Off on Broadway Cafe · Work
On Saturday Jayne and I had a meeting up in London in Victoria Street. It turned out to be something we could have easily missed as it was a briefing for election agents. Neither of us are election agents but and I think that everything we were told was either something we knew or that […]
Yes, yes, yes

When I saw that there was yet another Yes live DVD being released I had a bit of a sinking feeling. I knew I would not be able to resist it despite already have 9 DVDs and videos of the band of varying quality.
Redistribution
March 23rd, 2007 · 13 Comments · Politics
I keep meaning to write something about redistribution, what with it being such a fundamental plank of left-wing ideology and all that, but never quite get round to it. I first felt the itch way back at the special council meeting to discuss council housing transfer, but you know how it is? If you don’t […]
Drinking from the salty cup…
March 22nd, 2007 · Comments Off on Drinking from the salty cup… · Life
It sounds like a euphemism just waiting for an opportunity to be used, but I'm talking about how our dishwasher seems to be playing up and leaving things ever so slightly salty. In most cases you don't notice it, but with cups you can taste it on the outside of the cup when you are […]

A small correction (or two)
March 21st, 2007 · Comments Off on A small correction (or two) · Life
Firstly, and most importantly, I am not saddle-sore! Secondly, I did not blast, and I am not an angry cyclist. This will mean nothing to anyone who has not read this week’s Crawley Observer, where they put my photo of a short stretch of cycle path on page two with various ‘quotes’ from me – […]

Helping the press?
March 21st, 2007 · 1 Comment · Politics
I think I was possibly less than helpful when the Crawley Observer called today… They wanted to know if they could use my photo of the tiny cycle path. I don’t mind anyone using my photos – they are all on Flickr with a creative commons license – so I told them that. I left […]

Shame Academy

The other thing which occupied my attention during my blogging hiatus and which caught me by surprise was Comic Relief Does Fame Academy.
Laptops
March 21st, 2007 · 2 Comments · Technology
I have not been the only Crawley blogger to experience technical difficulties. Shortly before I went off air, Danivon had his own problems. (He is now back with with some nice meaty posts about the local hospital, Cameron's worker-hostile policies and waste in the NHS while I still prattle on about cycle paths and Primeval) […]

What I did in my holidays…
March 21st, 2007 · 2 Comments · Life
While this site was down I got quite wrapped up in a couple of things. One of them was this fiendish quiz which I found a link to on a blog somewhere. I can’t remember where, and I’m not sure if I should thank the person who highlighted it or curse them… It is an […]
