A fair definition of a bad day would be realising that it is eleven hours since you arrived at work and you are still there. That sort of sums up today, but it didn’t feel bad – probably a combination of having done a bit of work I was proud of and a colleague bringing […]

Evil lurking in Ifield
March 9th, 2009 · Comments Off on Evil lurking in Ifield · Life
No details: I’m sure there will be more than enough in the local papers this week, and probably the nationals too, but I am staggered by events in Ifield last night. Â

Something for nothing
March 9th, 2009 · Comments Off on Something for nothing · Life, Work
There might be a catch but I haven’t found it yet: just a few limitations.  Today there was a stall at work manned by people from something called Easit. They gave us photocards that we can use to get 20% discounts on rail travel.
A good day?
March 9th, 2009 · Comments Off on A good day? · Work
If its a work day then I reckon its a good day if you finish more things than you start, end the day with fewer e-mails in the inbox than when you arrived in the morning, and leave the premises without doing any unpaid overtime. By those criteria today was bloody awful, but I still […]

The world comes to West Sussex
March 8th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Politics
If the world is broken, then where better to come to get it fixed than West Sussex?  Apparently the G20 summit next week is being held less than 10km from my house.

To L and back
March 6th, 2009 · Comments Off on To L and back · Work
I had to visit Leicester for work today, which involved driving all the way there (about 140-150 miles) and back again.   To make matters worse, my colleague who was going with me had a doctor’s appointment so we could not leave until about 10:00am.  This added a lot of stress to the day because my […]

Beer in a box
March 5th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Life
An idle thougth from today: why can’t you buy beer in a box? I am not a huge expert on boozing so maybe you can buy beer in a box and I have just never heard of it.

Two thousand??
March 4th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Life
I am finding this story hard to believe. I am not saying that I think it is not true – I do not know enough about truck specifications have a qualified opinion – just that it is hard to believe, in the same way that it is hard to believe that something the size of […]

Gratuitous holiday snaps
March 4th, 2009 · Comments Off on Gratuitous holiday snaps · Life
Just for the sake of it, here are a few holiday snaps from last month.  I took something like 350 photos during the week on the new camera. There were also about 100 pictures on the old compact before Charlie managed to lose it. About 150 of them are up on Flickr now. I can […]
In the wars
March 4th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Life
It looks like young Rojo has got in his first serious scrap. This evening I noticed what I though was a sore patch on the back of his neck. Closer inspection showed it to be a huge great wound – a large chunk of hair missing, revealing pink, wet flesh. We’ll keep an eye on […]
