Another big weekend, slowly comes to a close. Although this is the second part of a triple bill that finally comes to a close next weekend. So much to write about and with fifty minutes until the last TOTP ever, I feel I may have to either cut myself short or come back later if […]

Part two of the lads weekend, started badly. I woke up much later than I planned and entered up rushing around in the my room, ignoring a missed call from Chris, jumping in the shower and rushing to the train station. Not a good start, not a good start at all. After purchasing my tickets […]
Saturday 22nd July 2006
It had been a difficult night, unpleasantly hot and I had been unable to sleep. I wanted to get up earlier than I did, much earlier. It was way past 8.30am by the time I did get out of bed, but I had wanted to be getting ready and heading into town by then. Instead […]

We finally made it, even though there were doubts late into the working day. Okay it was much quieter than I expected but dealing with an issue right up to the wire, is the never the best way to end the working week. Thankfully my colleague (the only other person in the office with me […]

To be honest, I expected it to arrive later in the week, perhaps as late as Saturday morning. So you can imagine my surprise when I came home and found the silver special delivery placed on my leather chair. I knew instantly what it was and rushed to open it up and show my Mum. […]

Superman is easily my favourite superhero. Perhaps because I saw the original movies at the right age to truly be engrossed by the Man of Steel. Even after seeing Superman Returns this evening at the Vue in Reading, I still would put Superman II as my all time favourite from the franchise, but only just. […]

Doctor Jones, I need some help! I am addicted, well and truly. Is there no cure? I am surprised it did not happen to me a few years ago, but on Tuesday evening I started searching for various movies on YouTube and spent the rest of the evening adding personal favourites to my play list. […]
Sunday 9th July 2006
Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest last night at the Vue in Oxford. As you could have predicted, the early evening screenings were sold out. Luckily my friend and I had already planned to go and watch the 9.30pm screening, so I arrived to book tickets at 7.30pm, there were plenty […]
Friday 7th July 2006
A year ago, I was on my computer at work, taking phones calls to the helpdesk as normal. I opened up Firefox for the first time that morning to the BBC News web site (which is the default home page on all my personal computers) to find a breaking story of power surges on the […]

My advice to you, on this Independence Day, is not to wear a red tie while at Heathrow Airport, standing anywhere near the Virgin Atlantic ticket sales desk. About three different people came up to me, thinking I worked there. Perhaps one of the strangest questions I have ever been asked, “Are you with Virgin?”. […]
