How was your weekend? Mine has been distinctly average, just like England’s performance against Austria. I read on Arse Blog how distinctly average our national side are, and would easily be beaten by Arsenal. While I do not disagree with the view, my personal feeling is that as standard as they are, they always produce […]

My weekend officially began as I boarded the Bakerloo tube train to Marylebone. As I boarded at Embankment, I heard the unusually stern voice of the driver over the tannoy. He gave a safety speech about staying behind the yellow line and continued, “a lot of unnecessary paperwork and it’s Friday evening, I do want […]

Oh yes, my XBox was successfully upgraded yesterday. It took longer than the two hours we had scheduled for the urgent maintenance Expect full details on my forth coming project page. Hopefully, I can find time later this week, to add this to my site and also go over any other parts of the site […]

For all those days, when I have nothing to really write about and end up waffling about almost nothing. This is the entry, which brings together the culmination of a hard working week, the reward of a bank holiday weekend, and the realisation, that I’m slowly learning, “life is more than just okay!”. Life always […]

It is great to hear from an old friend. Particularly, when it has been so long since you last heard from them. Mid morning, I was busy answering various support calls, and the end of the working day seemed miles away. I have MSN Messenger running in the system tray. One new message, the pop-up […]

There is always a rush, as you exit the train at Embankment. You mentally try and prepare yourself, to get onto the Bakerloo Line train ending North. The main reason for this mad dash, is the fact that the journey to the other platform is littered with obstacles. I wait patiently, as we pull up […]

I will not lie to you, I have not been to any concerts. Of all the artists in music history, past and present, there are only two for whom I would have spent good money to go see live. Although currently fighting a legal court case, which could last for months, MJ would be the […]

For the first time in several months, I do not know what to write in my blog. Trying to find a tangible reason for the lack of eagerness to write, I discover quite frankly that it is due to the simply fact that nothing interesting has been happening to be recently. The summer is drawing […]

The superhero theme continues. When something has a lot to live up to, it rarely provides the goods. This is a case in point, but we must be considerate in our criticism. The DareDevil is not a familiar hero to us in Europe, unless we are big comic book fans, which we are not. As […]

This morning felt more like dreary September, than the early August. Yet, I battled through the cold rain to get to the my bus stop and get to work on time. There was little disruption to the Chiltern Railways network but colleagues informed me of the difficulties on other parts of the National Rail network. […]
