This always seems to happen. There was a major astronomical event yesterday and I was oblivious to it until afterwards. It’s the same with the perseid showers most years: if by some miracle I remember they are happening its a really foggy and/or rainy night.

It really has all been going on up here on Tolgate Hill. First of all that big fire on Sunday, and then yesterday there was an obstruction in the road as I came home from work. Right opposite where the fire was there was a tow truck blocking half of the road. It was reversed […]

Its a safe bet that any readers from outside of this corner of West Sussex are unlikely to have seen page 7 of this week’s Crawley Observer, so it is reproduced here as a public service. This poor woman was attacked by her own dog and, in the words of the paper, had her face […]

I knew it had ‘World’ in it somewhere
June 24th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Music
Quite a while ago I heard a track on the radio that immediately rang a bell with me: “Ah. The theme music from World in Action” I thought. I decided I would procure the track so I immediately looked up World in Action on Wikipedia. Sure enough, there was a section on the title sequence […]

Tonight at 7:30 there is the Broadfield neighbourhood forum just up the road (topic: Broadfield parks and green spaces). On the other hand, at 7:45 Portugal and Germany kick-off in the first quarter final. Not a difficult decision to make…
