I know it is no laughing matter, especially for those concerned, but when I read this story in today’s paper I could not help but get a mental picture of Papa Lazarou saying “You’re my wife now”.

Online shopping
December 16th, 2005 · Comments Off on Online shopping · Life
Everyone is saying how shopping online is increasing but yesterday I had actual proof. A parcel of goodies I ordered from the Internet was delivered while we were all out, so the Parcelforce person left the usual delivery card to say where to collect it, or who to call for a re-delivery. Except it was […]
Doctor Feelgood
December 14th, 2005 · Comments Off on Doctor Feelgood · Music
I can’t help thinking about that old joke (repeated by Trigger in Only Fools and Horses) about the old broom which has lasted many years, although it had the head replaced twice and the handle replaced once. I saw an advert for Dr Feelgood, playing at the 100 Club as part of Club Bang Bang […]

Don’t lick it!
December 14th, 2005 · Comments Off on Don’t lick it! · Life
At first glance it looks like a lolly… its actually an interestingly packaged condom. They were being given away at a conference to promote AIDS awareness at the Civic Hall the other week. Probably best to keep this one away from young kids.
High Level Meeting
December 13th, 2005 · Comments Off on High Level Meeting · Work
I went to a high-level meeting today. When I say 'high level' I mean it was on the 15th floor of an office block at Vauxhall. The views from there are fantastic. Fortunately I had my camera with me. Unfortunately the windows are a bit grubby and do not open. It was also a bit […]
Another day, another barn
December 13th, 2005 · Comments Off on Another day, another barn · Life
I found myself visiting two barn conversions in Crawley last week. I had been to both before, but I don’t think I ever visited both in the same week. The first was the Ifield Barn Theatre to see Alladin. Its a great little theatre. Only 80 seats, and a tiny stage, but the auditorium is […]

More race riots in Sydney
December 12th, 2005 · Comments Off on More race riots in Sydney · Politics
Seeing on the news that there are race riots in Sydney for a second night running is very depressing, and it tarnishes some of my happy memories of spending time over there with my old job. I always felt there was a sort of casual racism amongst a lot of the white Australians, even if […]

Dennis Skinner
December 12th, 2005 · Comments Off on Dennis Skinner · Politics
There is something not quite right about when Dennis Skinner was banned from the Commons for a day last week. Not the allegations he made – maybe Osborne took cocaine and maybe he didn’t, it doesn’t really bother me – and not the way Skinner shouted it all out: its what he is famous for. […]

75 bands update
December 12th, 2005 · Comments Off on 75 bands update · Music
Apparently that picture which is supposed to have 75 bands in it had a bit missing. The picture I had was cropped down the left-hand side. I have a more complete copy now but unfortunately it is not at such a high resolution. Although its much smaller, I can still see two boys outside a […]

Refinery Fire Originally uploaded by 01101001 01100001 01101110. This picture on Flickr is absolutely stunning. If anything of mine ever blows up I hope this chap is nearby to record the event.
