I saw something hilarious on Sky News earlier. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be on YouTube yet. I’m sure it will be soon thoough. I’m equally sure that Sky News won’t be repeating it like they do with all their other interviews. Not in its entirety anyway. They were after some opinions on the G4S [...]

Time flies at the Crawley Observer
October 26th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Life, Politics
Breakfast was made much more amusing today courtesy of the Crawley Observer and what the youth of today would no doubt call an epic fail. In such a busy environment as the Obby offices maybe it does only feel like a few months since May 2010…

You’ve got mail
July 31st, 2011 · No Comments · Life
I have a very bad habit. I sometimes don’t open post for months. The thing is that every bill I have to pay regularly is on a direct debit so anything that looks like a bill is really just a statement of account requiring no action other than filing or shredding. When I do open [...]

It turns out that I effectively turned off comments here when I upgraded WordPress the other day. I forgot that the captcha plug-in I use always screws up when I upgrade WordPress and I have to de-activate and re-activate it to make it all work again. I always forget. I expect I will forget next [...]
Blind, deaf and stupid

I already knew my eyesight was getting worse as I get older but obviously my hearing and thinking are plummetting too. Just tonight I cameout of the supermarket and went to get in the car. My first thought was “bloody hell Jayne, when were you going to tell me you put a huge dent in [...]

The road to Wembley
January 10th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Life
Crawley Town’s FA Cup road might not go all the way to Wembley, but tonight they discovered that it will at least go as far as Torquay.  It would have been good to get a ‘glamour’ tie against Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal or someone like that (but please not West Ham!) but on the other [...]

Alarming inability
June 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Life
I have a licence to drive cars. It will also allow me to drive pretty large vans and minibuses. I can operate computers with some confidence and figure out the various combinations of settings and buttons to do all sorts of things on hi-fi separates. So why do I have some sort of dyspraxia when [...]
Kicking myself
April 28th, 2010 · No Comments · Politics, Technology
When I get home from work each day and fetch the day’s stack of emails my normal routine is to go through them quickly and delete all the obvious spam and junk. Then I go through the junk mail folder and extract any ‘real’ mails that have found their way in there. After that I [...]
Busting a nut
April 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Life
The decorating is done, with minimal damage. The emulsion should come off the kitten’s face eventually. The only significant casualty seems to be my bass guitar. It was propped up in the cupboard and allowed to fall to the floor, strings down, which broke the nut. Only one end of the nut, so three strings [...]

Google 3D
April 7th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Life, Technology
Love the 3D version of Google Street View – just need to find one of the many pairs of 3D glasses that are knocking around the house somewhere. Talking of Google, this advert popped up the other day… My first thought was to doubt the expertise of so-called experts in Google analytics who can’t even [...]
