I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
With one of the stars of The Simple Life already behind bars (Paris Hilton) we are now watching the other part of the duo beginning *her* court case for driving whilst drinking. Nicole Ritchie is up in court for a second time on a DUI charge. This time she’s facing a mandatory 90 day jail … More The Not so Simple Life
Watched a one hour film last night that was made back in 1981. It was called ‘Women of the Sun’ and told part of the tale of European settlement of South Eastern Australia. It’s one of a four part series documenting the effects on aboriginal culture of the invasion.. especially the females. This first part … More Women of the Sun
We’d all like some… me especially. As regulars know last year I tried to sort out some online finance only to have the bank account hacked twice and lost all the profits… which sort of put me off it. However, one source of income has continued to trickle a few dollars in here and there … More Money for old rope?
There’s an old rhyme that goes along the lines of… Whether the weather be cold Whether the weather be hot We’ll weather the weather Whatever the weather We’ll weather it like it or not. Over the past few days we’ve been getting some severe dissonance caused by the appearance of some wild and woolly weather … More Whether the weather…
The world famous QE2, once the pride of the fleet, has finally been sold off to become a ‘floating hotel’ to be moored off the coast of the Palm Resort in Dubai. The Cunard ship which has sailed the world since 1969 has been sold for US$100 million and will no doubt be affectionately remembered … More End of another era
Interesting little site this… I wouldn’t call it 100% legal… but no doubt has its uses. Parakazanin seems to specialise in knock-offs and may well have viruses and/or Trojans on some of its downloads – I wouldn’t know. However, there *are* some damn fine programs on there in amongst the dross so if you feel … More Pirate Software?
Spent the morning re-reading some of Harry Potter “Goblet of Fire’ ready for the new book in a few weeks and then watched Aeon Flux for the first time. Story was a bit banal and predictable but the CGI and special effects made the film a stand out 🙂 I liked it anyway. And yes … More Quiet Day today
Yet again this morning I realised I’d mislaid the PDA. Naturally panic ensued as I tried to recall just where the hell I could have left it. Turned out to be lying next to the bed. I realised once I’d found it what had happened. Yesterday morning (Sunday), whilst we were having a well overdue … More Lost – one PDA 🙂
Pleased to say that none of the people listed in the Obituaries column of the Telegraph (UK version) or The Times was know to me. Let’s hope it stays that way! I suppose I knew of Kurt Waldheim but he never figured large on my radar once it become obvious he was never going to … More Obituaries
After not having bothered to try for years, we finally decided to record some of our DV tapes onto the computer. This was brought on by me having filmed the eldest at a school play which was performed entirely in French and having one of the other parents ask me for a copy. Wonderful idea … More Eo, eo, eo… vid, vid, vid!!
