Today was a peculiar day (mind, aren’t they all?!), largely down to the BUPA Great North Run. It reminded me of my desire to raise money for charity - making myself useful. Nick jokingly said I should cycle from London to Newcastle, which I did momentarily consider.
I courted the idea with a few friends, and [...]

Let’s Play
The Duck And Rabbit
It’s always good to see the old gang; and indeed the new gang. I met Nick’s girlfriend Belle for the first time, and she is very pleasant.
The holiday took a more casual tone this time round, largely down to the fact that everyone had some sort of ailment at some point in the holiday. Nick, [...]
Round Trip
I went to Sittingbourne on Sunday in time for Pete’s 21st birthday. We went on a pub crawl around Minster, which was better than the rest of us had anticipated. It was quiet, but thoroughly enjoyable. None of us got that drunk apart from Carly, who remembers very little about her tirades and losing her [...]
Update
It has now been far too long since I made a post. This is not indicative of the constant source of entertainment that is my life!
Last week I stayed in Kent - Herne Bay to be more precise, at my good old friend Pete’s house. Although it was an enjoyable stay as always, my time [...]
Collisions And Consequences
Hi guys, check out Collisions And Consequences, of which a fair few of the band are good friends of mine! Go listen!
Catch-21
First things first! Happy Birthday to James, who is 21 today. Many Happy Returns to Jayne, who is also 21 today.
So… a quick update. Japan is more or less sorted now. I just have to work out how I’m getting to Heathrow. No way is easy or without risk. That is unless I travel down [...]
Defragmenting
I love my analogies. I created one today to describe how defragmenter works on your computer:
Your computer goes obsessive compulsive, and arranges the cans in your kitchen cupboard so that you have baked beans in one place, spaghetti hoops in another, and custard elsewhere and so on. It also turns the cans so that the [...]
Things Get In The Way
I wanted to go to bed, but I’m Alan Partridge was on. This has delayed my plans to retire. But this kind of thing has been going on a lot lately.
I was going to get a lot of work done today, but I really didn’t feel like it. Instead I played World Of Warcraft for [...]
To Prove A Point
Time for some evaluation. Having highlighted my mistakes in the last few days, I start to balance the points of the current situation. I should be thankful I didn’t start a career I might not have enjoyed. I should be grateful that I went to a University where I enjoy doing the work (on the [...]
Bowling For Group
A quick summary of last Friday: we had a big breakfast in Chez Pierre. We played ten-pin bowling. As ever, the second game was my best. And as ever, we never got to finish the second game, as we are only given an hour. But our team won… probably! Then we went home. Matt’s speaker [...]
