I went into the bank today to pay in the £100 cheque I received from our landlords (not good news. I was expecting £450. Must call them about that) and while I was there I used the cash machine inside the bank. The machine gave me a couple of five pound notes as part of […]

Band names
September 12th, 2004 · Comments Off on Band names · Music
I found this site today. Its a band name generator. The idea is that if you have a band and can’t think of a name, this will give you suggestions which have not been used. In many cases, they are names which are unlikely to ever be used, but some have a certain ring to […]

Telly

Well… suddenly the TV has started showing all the right colours: no more red cast over everything. Why does it do that when the new one arrives in 7 days (but who’s counting?) However, it does that from time to time, so it really is on the way out, and the new one is a […]
Footie

Wow. I must have been tired… I slept for 12 hours! Things are looking up a bit with the football. Crawley won at home and West Ham won away with a late goal from Sheringham so now both teams have 13 points from 7 games, putting West Ham 5th in the Championship (1 point behind […]

knackered
September 10th, 2004 · Comments Off on knackered · Life, Work
Its only been 5 days, the same as any other week, but I feel absolutely knackered at the end of this weeekend. There is another minor crisis on the help desk at work and they were looking for someone to come in Saturday and Sunday… Normally it would be quite tempting as that would involve […]

I seem to find myself in the position of being a director of a limited company. Not something I expected when I woke up this morning.

Good technology day
September 8th, 2004 · Comments Off on Good technology day · Technology, Work
When I got to work I found that the help desk only had one person on it, and he was from the previous night shift and dying to go home. Of the five people rostered, 2 were on holiday, 1 was working the late shift and not due until lunchtime, 1 had phoned in sick […]

Shaun of the Dead
September 7th, 2004 · Comments Off on Shaun of the Dead · Life
I bought the DVD of Shaun of the Dead on the way home today. I love zombie films, and also really liked the TV show Spaced so as this is a Zombie comedy made by the people responsible for Spaced I thought I couldn’t go wrong. And I was right, its a smashing film. Jayne […]
Meetings bloody meetings
September 6th, 2004 · Comments Off on Meetings bloody meetings · Life, Politics
The title, of course, refers to a training film made by John Cleese’s company Video Arts. They were great training films, and I notice on their website that they are still selling them, so obviously nobody has come up with anything better in the last 11 years. Some time ago, when I was living in […]

New teeth
September 6th, 2004 · Comments Off on New teeth · Life
Well I’ve got my new teeth, and the wrenching off of the huge triple filling was as bad as I expected. But its all done now, and at least there were no injections involved so I do not have to spend half the day doing a Stallone impersonation.
