Crawley Town won their first game in the Conference league. At least now we are in that league we get a mention on the Sky Sports ‘Soccer Saturday’ programme and the results and league positions get listed in all the newspapers. When we were in the Doc Martens Premier league it was sometimes hard to […]

Kente cloth
August 14th, 2004 · Comments Off on Kente cloth · Life
I just did a quick Google search to make sure I spelled ‘kente’ correctly and came across this page which give examples of the different kente cloths, their names and meanings. I never knew there was so much to it. Its a bit like the Scots and their tartans! My favourite has to be the […]
Olympics
August 14th, 2004 · Comments Off on Olympics · Life
I decided to go for the hat-trick and get another little job done, and ended up doing quite a bit more than I intended. After I had filled the bookshelves the other day, and was pleased with myself that it all fit better before, another box in the bedroom turned out to be half full […]
Things are looking up!

For a while now my Toshiba DVD player has been acting up. It plays films OK, but the sound output is not digital so I don’t get the benefit of Dolby 5.1 or DTS sound. I had previously put another DVD player on temporarily to find out whether it was the amp or the DVD […]

The beautiful game…

At last that dead period between the end of Euro 2004 and the start of the football season is over! Of course all the Premier League doesn’t start until this weekend, but my team is still languishing in the ‘Coca-Cola Championship’ (the old First Division. Or the even-older Second Division). But the Hammers have had […]

Nearly there!
August 11th, 2004 · Comments Off on Nearly there! · Life, Technology
The living room is now just about finished. Today we got some blinds and fitted them, got rid of Jayne’s old, huge, desk (swapped it with her mum for a smaller one), set up the TV/Satellite/DVD/video, and packed up most of the tools. I also set up Jayne’s computer and fitted a wireless card in […]
Doom
August 9th, 2004 · Comments Off on Doom · Technology
I didn’t mention before, but when I bought the router I also picked up a couple of games. I was so chuffed, because I have been after the original Doom for ages and couldn’t find it anywhere, and then saw in PC World the original Doom (Ultimate Doom), Doom II, and Final Doom all on […]
Home sweet home?

Well we are back home now. Sort of. The builders finished on Friday and gave us the keys back, and we spent 3 days decorating in near-equatorial temperatures. Today we moved back in, with the paint barely dry. The living room has had a complete make-over: painted walls and ceiling, new laminate floor, woodwork glossed, […]
