Last year I broke with tradition. Strange concept for me, tradition. However, this blog has been running for over four years, so there is a small footprint in the form of a legacy. From 2002 until 2004, I have posted an entry on Christmas Day. This has varied from a few lines with seasons greetings […]
Sunday 24th December 2006
So the Christmas season is in full swing. I am off from work and trying to wonder how to fill my time. Well Christmas came early, in the form of a present from the BBC on Friday night. Of course I was unable to watch the interview then (see previous post) so had to wait […]
The Nightmare Before Christmas
There was a different ending, in my mind at least for today. Even though I am watching The Girl Next Door on BBC One at this precise moment, I had more, much more planned for my evening. I suppose, I should start, as all my stories do, at the beginning. I got up, early for […]
Sunday 3rd December 2006
December already? The year is almost out but my weekends keep coming thick and fast. A great weekend, a wonderful weekend from all angles. I will begin with Saturday morning. I was being far to optimistic when I thought I could get up and be ready to catch the 8.20am train from the station. I […]

There are many people whom I wish actually had a blog. Then there are other people whom I wish had never stopped blogging.

I was a man on a mission. That was the description from one of my colleagues on the helpdesk, quite early on Wednesday morning. It was true and I knew there was so much to be done before that 12 o’clock bell would ring. I could not sleep, I was just far too excited. On […]

Tuesday 14th November 2006
It was the equivalent of taking a pistol, placing it against your temple and pulling the trigger. I keep asking myself why, but the fact that I still have the ability to update my blog, does mean that not all is lost. Let me pick up the story from last night. As you all know […]
Saturday 11th November 2006
Was in Slough this morning, strangely too early even for me. I pulled up at 8am at the Thames Fiat dealership on the Bath Road. Then I decided to walk into town, while my car had a winter service check. Little did I know that the journey was three miles and not the two I […]
