The Broadfield branch of the Labour party had its AGM tonight. I stood down as Chair – I think two years (or is it three?) is long enough, and now I can concentrate more on Horsham. That is the good news. The even better news is that one of our newer, younger members has been […]

Daleks Invade Worthing

Now that’s what I call a decent headline for a local paper! Unfortunately its a little over-stated: for a start the the use of a plural is unwarranted as there was only one Dalek.

I do not normally bother to read computer magazines. Take away all the adverts and the reviews of things I am not interested in and not a lot remains. But I used to read them in the 80s and this week I bought the Personal Computer World 30-year anniversary edition for a bit of a […]

Mobile mania
February 20th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Technology
I was very surprised today when I got to work and realised I had left my mobile phone at home and then found myself feeling that something was missing all day. The truth is that I use it like a sort of pocket watch more than I ever use it as a phone, which is […]

I can’t believe that I forgot about the Broadfield Forum tonight. I was all set to go, I even mentioned it to a few work colleagues who I know live in Broadfield, and then just forgot it was on.
