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?”. […]

Almost forty eight hours without the internet but I am surprisingly calm as I walked through the front door at exactly 11pm last night. There was no question that I was going to jump on the computer as soon as I could but I did not feel the same level of withdrawal symptoms as I […]

Friday dragged big time, it tends to when you are looki but we had opted for an easier (and less expensive option). I had packed the Back To The Future Trilogy DVD in my bag as I left. It was an afterthought really but I was inspired by Pav on MSN on Thursday night. Having […]

My Dad rang me at work. I didn’t give him the number proactively, I just think he took it off a business card. Anyway, he asked if I would come along if he booked tickets to the circus. I reluctantly said yes. This would be yet another first for me (but also my Mum). So […]

With the World Cup less than fifteen days away, a fantastic way to keep tabs on all the World Cup matches you dare not miss. While I could link directly to the site, hold on I have! I actually read the story over on the GU Technology blog. Some of you may have noticed the […]
Sunday 21st May 2006
After a rather lazy Saturday, where my only achievement was to go into town and get my haircut. I sat down to watch Eurovision on the computer, watching only the acts up to and including Daz Sampson and his Teenage Life rap. Then, I decided to shut down the computer and head for the living […]

Today could be seen as the first official day of the summer? Why? Well as I walked to my car in the office car park, I realised that it was the first opportunity to switch on the air conditioning. However, I opted to sweat in the car, wearing my suit and not adjusting my tie, […]
Friday 28th April 2006
When I turn to my blog on a Friday there is a usually a feeling of some achievement, no matter how minor, hanging around. Tonight I begin writing this Friday evening, with an empty feeling inside. At the beginning of the week there was a burden of expectation to get a bucket load of work […]
Friday 24th April 2006
There was a big doubt that I would make it to Friday and be able to finally enjoy the weekend. The moment came, just after 7.30pm when I put the volume up on the television and starting channel surfing the music television channels. I came across The Hits, who were showing the Top Fifty ‘Shoulda […]
Saturday 22nd April 2006
Saturday already? Where has the week gone? I have been far too busy trying to recall my weekend in Germany over Easter. I still have a bit to write up and the last two blog entries do need some refining. However, I thought I would quickly bring everyone bang up to date. What have I […]
