It was tempting as I called my colleague at 17.25 to bail out and head home. I have to admit, while blasting back on the M4 from Newbury, the thought did cross my mind. However, I made up my mind quite quickly that I had to get down there. I had to get on with […]

I get plenty of invitations to add a variety of applications onto my Facebook profile, most which I ignore. However, Pav convinced me to add PetrolHead several months ago. I have not used to much really and have only carried out one upgrade. Pav on the other hand has just smashed a new record to […]
Sunday 23rd March 2008
Easter Sunday, and according to the well researched Diamond Geezer the earliest we will ever experience. It is 11.06am precisely as I begin writing this and I have quite a few things to do before the football matches this afternoon. I will try and make this entry both concise and brief. On Good Friday, I […]

The Beeb have been doing a fantastic series charting the build up to the Iraq war in ten minute episodes on BBC2 over the past week. They take the view point of variety of different ‘characters’ with time running out before the actual invasion begins. After being screened, they are debated over on Newsnight with […]

Finally watched Knocked Up last night, it has been sitting on my hard drive since 22nd February with my last attempt to watch it a few weekends ago, when the file would not play. I tracked this down last night to a dodgy codec file, so I downloaded the latest version and away I went. […]

What a weekend! No, for once I am not referring to anything I got up to. Far from it, for me it was a very lazy and non-event of a weekend. However sporting wise, it was electric. I watched all of the FA Cup ties (although only fully concentrated on the Manchester and Chelsea ties) […]
Wednesday 5th March 2008
It was a day Pav had been looking forward to. Tuesday 4th March (yesterday) will go down in the history books (or maybe rather the archives of this blog) as a significant milestone. I could go on with the story but perhaps the screen shot of the login from Pav’s FTP site explains everything in […]
Monday 3rd March 2008
A strange weekend in the sense that Sunday was far busier than Saturday. (It is usually always the other way around!). I will however, start with Saturday, it will not take that long and we can move onto the excitement of Sunday. I went to sleep around 2.30am on Friday night as I had been […]
