I have a licence to drive cars. It will also allow me to drive pretty large vans and minibuses. I can operate computers with some confidence and figure out the various combinations of settings and buttons to do all sorts of things on hi-fi separates. So why do I have some sort of dyspraxia when [...]

Kicking myself
April 28th, 2010 · No Comments · Politics, Technology
When I get home from work each day and fetch the day’s stack of emails my normal routine is to go through them quickly and delete all the obvious spam and junk. Then I go through the junk mail folder and extract any ‘real’ mails that have found their way in there. After that I [...]
Busting a nut
April 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Life
The decorating is done, with minimal damage. The emulsion should come off the kitten’s face eventually. The only significant casualty seems to be my bass guitar. It was propped up in the cupboard and allowed to fall to the floor, strings down, which broke the nut.
Only one end of the nut, so three strings work [...]

Google 3D

Love the 3D version of Google Street View – just need to find one of the many pairs of 3D glasses that are knocking around the house somewhere. Talking of Google, this advert popped up the other day…
My first thought was to doubt the expertise of so-called experts in Google analytics who can’t even spell [...]
Twisted Firestarter

Here is a photo of what happened when I felt a little peckish and made some toast under the grill.
My new theme song is:
I’m the self inflicted, mind detonator.
Yeah. Im the one infected, twisted animator.
I’m a firestarter, twisted firestarter

Spizzenergi t-shirts get you noticed
September 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Life, Music
I went to a quiz night tonight, in aid of the Alpha people, which is a strange thing for an atheist to do I suppose, but they are nice people and I do enjoy a quiz. I was wearing my 25th anniversary Spizzenergi t-shirt – the one that says “1979-2004″ on it so it looks [...]

Can Dec anally match Ant?

A question we have all pondered, but not dared to voice aloud… see the Guardian for an explanation of exactly why and how the Express ended up with such an eye-catching headline. It turns out there is a perfectly logical explanation – they cocked up!

Not mowing the lawn
August 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Life
One thing I will not be doing this weekend (probably) is mowing the lawn. It really needs it, but the other night I went into the shed to get something and noticed a large lawnmower-shaped space in there. I came backindoors to tell Jayne that I thought we had been burgled, but it turns out [...]

Saw this van on the way back from Worthing.
Either he really is a eletrician or he should be asking the bloke who paints his van for a hefty discount.
Go Bish!

On Thursday I actually had the TV on during BBC’s Question Time. I had my back to it and the sound turned quite low, so I wasn;t really paying attention to it until near the end when I hear Dimbleby mention that they were in Colchester.
I thought to myself “I wonder if my old mate [...]
