I am starting to get worried about my sense of humour. I now actually look forward to the ancient jokes on Soccer AM and this week was truly tickled by this: The other day I was hungry and all I had in the house was 24 pots of yoghurt, so I ate them all. How […]

The old ones *are* the best
December 23rd, 2006 · Comments Off on The old ones *are* the best · Life
Why is it that I saw a clip of Morecambe and Wise with Andre Previn this evening and had tears of laughter in my eyes? How many times must I have seen that sketch? I must have seen it half a dozen times this year alone but it still tickles me as much as the […]
Lets hear it for traffic wardens!
December 6th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Life
I have never shared the popular view of traffic wardens – possibly because I was shacked up with one for a couple of years – but always felt that they are, at worst, a necessary evil. Although they are the target of much hostility I always suspected that those who complain about them would have […]
The cult of Karl
December 2nd, 2006 · 1 Comment · Life, Technology
I am a late arrival in this whole podcast thing. The first one I ever listened to was one of the Spizz podcasts last month – I won’t link to it right now; for some reason all his sites seem to be down at the moment. I had seen all the publicity about the Ricky […]
Deed Polls
November 23rd, 2006 · 6 Comments · Life
Last week Jayne and I went to the website for the UK Deed Poll Service and changed her nephew’s name for him – with his knowledge obviously. It was all terribly easy, and not very expensive either. Certainly a lot cheaper than getting personalised number plates for the car. (I think we can all see […]
Huge hole
November 11th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Life
I am still in shock. The topic of Titan, the newly-discovered deepest cave in Britain, cropped up on Have I Got News For You but at no point did they mention the single most brilliant fact about it – the original name of it, as revealed in a Guardian article thus: After more than five […]
Special offer
November 4th, 2006 · 3 Comments · Life
Here is an offer I think I can resist. It was in the ‘Lifestyles’ catalogue which fell out of today’s Guardian – a poor substitute for the often hilarious ‘Innovations’ catalogue. For only £11.99 you can get a bottle of Scratch Vanish Polish. To show just how good it is the product is illustrated by […]
Have I Got News for Crawley
November 3rd, 2006 · Comments Off on Have I Got News for Crawley · Life
I see that everyone was taking the piss out of Crawley on HIGNFY tonight. I had not realised that the story of our car park signs being hacked had reached national newspapers. Apparently it was American hackers who were responsible for getting into the council’s car park computer and altering the message on the boards […]
I don’t feel like dancing…

Many many thanks to Andrew for the hugely entertaining B4L dance routine. I did my own version, and I don’t think our kids are going to be happy about it
Pretentious? Moi?
September 1st, 2006 · Comments Off on Pretentious? Moi? · Life
The death of artist Vladimir Tretchikoff has kicked off another round of discussions/arguments about whether his work was ‘real’ art or just kitsch commercial product. I do know that we had a copy of the green lady (real name Chinese Girl) on the wall when I was a kid in the 60s, so I have […]
