Today I logged into Twitter for the first time. I have avoided it thus far because I can’t really see the appeal. It looks like the sort of thing that is only going to be worthwhile if it is used on a mobile – and I don’t use my mobile for internet use at all. […]

This advert (especially the bit at 55 seconds) almost makes up for how much the 118 118 bits really mess up Lost on Sky One… You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video
Economy measures
June 9th, 2009 · 7 Comments · Work
Like any other sensible company is doing in the current economic climate the one I work for is trying to spend less, starting with cutting out un-necessary expenditure – nothing that wouldn’t make sense even in happier times. Amongst the instructions we have been given was one to spend company money as if it was […]

Long day
June 8th, 2009 · Comments Off on Long day · Work
For a change I had a work-related trip abroad that even I couldn’t wring a bit of enjoyment out of. I like to arrange schedules so that there is a little scope for sightseeing, photography, shopping or museum-visiting but this time it all went horribly wrong. Started at Crawley station just after 6:00am. Met my […]
Silver linings
June 8th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Politics
I find it is good for the nerves to not get too wound up about stuff, to try and remain sanguine in the face of adversity, and to look on the bright side. It is something I have been trying to do for some time now, hence the appearance of being semi-detached at times. In […]
How to be a better person
June 7th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life

Election disaster
June 7th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life, Politics
As the general election draws ever nearer, a new contender gains popularity. He is young and charismatic and everybody seems to like him, although they don’t quite know why and don’t really know what he stands for.  After his landslide victory he says “this country has been sick. This country needs healing. This country needs […]
Any Questions
June 6th, 2009 · Comments Off on Any Questions · Politics
This evening I went down to Billingshurst to sit in the audience for Radio 4’s Any Questions. This means that I have now seen two different Dimblebys in the flesh this year. It also means that I have now heard a complete Radio 4 programme – even if I didn’t actually hear it on the […]

The other boot has dropped
June 3rd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Politics
I hope everybody is familiar with the old saying about the other boot dropping? It is about when the bloke upstairs disturbs you at night when he removes his boots. You hear the thud as the first one hits the floor above you and can’t relax because you know the second one is going to […]
