It just gets better!

April 19th, 2005 · Comments Off on It just gets better! · Politics

Hot on the heels of the ‘make your own Tory poster’ site, I found another which lets you make your own version of that photo of Ed Matts and Ann Widdecombe which was doctored for his publicity leaflets. The Guardian also has a gallery of readers’ versions of the photo. Its all good fun. I […]

Tory Posters

April 19th, 2005 · Comments Off on Tory Posters · Politics

What a good day it was today! I found out, via the Guardian, about a site where you can make your own Tory posters. These are the very ill-advised posters which have “Are you thinking what we’re thinking?” at the bottom, and acres of white space just begging out for creative graffiti artists to add […]

Spizzenergi

April 18th, 2005 · Comments Off on Spizzenergi · Music

I went up to see Spizzenergi at the 100 Club in OXford Street tonight. I had never been to the 100 Club before, and it was a bit of an anti-climax. The band were good though, and the support, a band called Stained Glass Heroes, were interesting. SGH did a version of an old Spizz […]

Film clip

April 16th, 2005 · Comments Off on Film clip · Life, Politics

The Labour Party web site has a film clip of Tony Blair’s visit to Broadfield on it. Not too bad… Jayne can be seen in the background and Marie (centre manager) and Mick (Karate teacher) both get a soundbite in. I spent this morning out canvassing in Broadfield for the elections, and a lot of […]

Tony Blair

April 15th, 2005 · Comments Off on Tony Blair · Politics

Well today was the big day. At about half past six this morning we had a phone call from the police. They were at the Community Centre, wanting to be let in so their sniffer dogs could check the place out. Jayne took us down there so she could let them in on her way […]

VIP visit

April 14th, 2005 · Comments Off on VIP visit · Politics

Its the big day tomorrow! Tony Blair is going to pay a visit to the Broadfield Community Centre in the morning to see the playgroups. Its all supposed to be a big secret, but its probably safe to put it here because its only a few hours away, nobody reads this anyway, and half of […]

Productivity

April 13th, 2005 · Comments Off on Productivity · Life

My personal productivity at home has gone through the floor. Its all the fault of a web version of Boggle called Joggle. It is very simple, but addictive. I have loads of updates to make to the Community Centre’s website, but keep getting distracted by this Joggle thing.

New Car

April 10th, 2005 · Comments Off on New Car · Life

Its time to retire the old Astra. Its showing its age a bit, has lots of rust, runs too fast, loses water, and struggles to get up hills. Nothing that could not be fixed, but at what price? The MOT and tax are both due in the next month or so, and it would take […]

What a week!

April 1st, 2005 · Comments Off on What a week! · Work

What a week! I think I have been permanantly shagged-out for the whole week! Fortunately it was a short one. Most of the time I could hardly keep my eyes open at work. It did not help that I have been doing something quite boring and repetitive. Still, it does partly take my mind off […]
