I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Yes I’ve been quiet and no I’m *still* not 100% right… ignoring those who suggest unkindly that I was never right to begin with. However, things being what they are I sat by the computer and again saw on each of the blogs a request that I update the WordPress blog software installation. Unfortunately I … More And up (grade) we go.
There have been some interesting and subtle changes to the way the law works in the UK. For example a recent decision has established that someone is ‘guilty by accusation’ even if it’s been proved those accusations are in fact false!! The case of John Pinnington who was falsely accused of sexually assaulting three of … More Guilty even if proved otherwise?
Hot on the heels of my last post complaining about what a backwater the UK has become, is news of a Disco that has taken on board Homer Simpsons edict of “No Fat Chicks” and run with it barring them from entry to the club! The manager of the club who it seems is no … More Fat enough for you?
Have you noticed just how few of the major blockbusters we see in the movies these days have a ‘theme song’ associated with them? Some, such as the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings series had nice melodies that we could hum or whistle, some like Shrek 1 have soundtracks filled with old songs … More The theme thing.
I was reading a little straw poll on the Wales Online website which asked a question I’d have thought shouldn’t even need to be asked today.

Nope.
To add to the mixed news in today’s blog entries, we have to pass on news of the sad if inevitable death of Dr. Randy Pausch.

You want a discussion about diaphragms… or Brazilian waxing… or big cars… or plastic surgery… or… ?? Well now’s your chance. For those of you have listened to me ramble on incessantly about Angela Catterns (and occasionally Wendy Harmer) now is your chance to listen to those honeyed tones and find out why her voice … More Angela vs Wendy
Last week we heard news of a man who was towing a boat in his car and for some reason swerved across three lanes of traffic into water. Onlookers, watched helplessly as the car slowly submerged as the guy frantically and unsuccessfully tried to escape from the car as it filled with water. A policeman … More Death is never good news.
As you can tell from the paucity of posts recently, nothing much of note has happened in ‘the news’ for me to write about. Ok, I’ve had a bad case of flu but that really doesn’t excuse the lack of ‘something to write about’ out there. And what there *is* isn’t worth commenting on because … More Fording Jeremy Clarkson.
I was again having a ponder about how life has changed over the years when I began considering how much the mobile phone has become an integral part of life for many… if not most… of us. Twenty years ago the wife and I lived in Central London, however she worked in Croydon which for … More More Fings…. etc.
