Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
With the tenth anniversary of Lady Diana Spencer’s death (31st August 1997), almost upon us, the sharks are out in force once more. Knowing the deep well of affection that still exists for her all round the world the leeches are out still sucking out profits from stories and rumours about her life and death. … More Diana bashing a money spinner again.
Was looking at the AA Weather Widget a few seconds ago which tells me roughly what conditions are like in the UK… supposedly in Cardiff but I can’t be sure. Any way… apart from telling me it’s raining (nothing unusual in that), it tells me that currently the temperature at 9:05 a.m. and of course … More UK weather ain't looking great!
I was in Aldi supermarket the other day and there was a pile of DVD’d going cheap there so naturally I had to have a nose. One I found I just *had* to have. It is a copy of old an Beatles TV appearance from April 28th 1964. In it the ‘fab four’ do a … More The Beatles – yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!
The kids are nagging to go see it this weekend. The wife is working so she won’t be able to go, and she isn’t as fond of them as the kids and I are 🙂 So… looks like we’ll be off in a few hours if I can buy tickets online before we go. I’ve … More The Simpson's Movie
There have been a few twitterings in the ranks about the way the modern Aussie army is recruiting new recruits. The main focus of the concern has been the new series of posters featuring the Lady Differ in a variety of situations but in most wearing the same outfit. Trouble is that this costume is … More Lady Diggers!
Was getting a bit worried because it’s been dry for a few days but the rain is drizzling down slowly. Of course… today *had* to be the day we sent the dogs off for a wash and polish. I hope they manage to dry them off before they catch cold 🙂
Changing tack slightly, while we were at the station this morning (too damn cold to walk to the bus I reckon) I was watching something we see fairly often. Some mornings, not all, a little turquoise car arrives. It contains a boy and girl. The car stops *on* the main footpath leading to the station … More Selfish society
Still driving the wife to the rail station. Temperatures still below freezing, -1ºC this morning, and I’ve been wandering around during the day with kids and dogs so she feels I’m getting *some* exercise… even if not really enough. Also of course this is probably the busiest few weeks of her year with masses of … More Just a few 'odds'.
The temperature this morning was -3ºC so even worse than yesterday! I hope things pick up soon. It’s currently colder here than in the UK and that’s saying something 🙂 Actually… having looked at the weather chart for Cardiff (UK) where my parents live, they have a maximum in 18ºC indicated for the week and … More Cold again.
Ok I wanted to write just a little more on the Order of the Phoenix movie and the imminent final The Deathly Hallows. The littlest one hadn’t gone to the movies with us the first time so we took her this arvo. She’s only 8 but thought it was pretty good… fair enough. The eldest … More Yet more Pottermania
