Young Rojo is in my bad books now. He has been trying the patience of the entire household for a while now, but I am ridiculously lenient with him and let him (literally) walk all over me. Tonight he came in when Chas got home, jumped on top of me, stuck his nose in my […]

Lost in the Supermarket

It appears that Tesco have come up with an ingenious solution to the old conundrum of labelling the ‘express’ tills. “10 items or less” is just wrong, but “10 items or fewer” sounds clumsy to many people so they have avoided the issue by saying “up to 10 items”.
Some Kind Of Monster

Driving home from a visit to the old folks today (Hi Mum!) I heard a tasty track played on the radio that had all the hallmarks of vintage Metallica – and it was indeed a new Metallica single at 19 in the charts. It almost made up for the dreadful congestion.

Following my false alarm when I thought my iRiver had died, I did actually take the plunge and I invested in a Creative Zen. I use the word ‘invested’ with fingers crossed, in the hope it will turn out to be as good a buy as the iRiver was.

Excitement and anticipation has just about edged out worry and trepidation about my return to cycle commuting after a gap of almost twenty years, and just in time: I collect my new bike tomorrow after work and will ride it home. As if on cue, it started raining this evening.
Manic Friday

It was a bit manic today. Charlie needed to go to hospital to have his hand looked at, but it was a very short-notice appointment. I decided to drop him off there on my way to work, rather than have him take a one-hour bus ride or the train; just to make sure he got […]
Green, green grass of home

It was almost inevitable really. Months of slogging around in the cold and rain, trying to force soggy leaflets through resistant letter boxes and then as soon as the elections are over its all sunny and warm. I was over in Horsham delivering some leaflets about affordable housing today and it was so much more […]
No sex please, we’re British

I see the moral vocal minority have succeeded in getting an application for a sex shop turned down in Worthing. Again.
X-Files Bargain
January 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Life
The other day I found something which is brilliant news for anyone in the unlikely position of really liking the X-Files but not owning any of them on DVD – a box set of all nine seasons, plus the feature film, for £71.97 on Amazon.
