Perspective
I’m just going to re-post something I’ve just put up at Sunshine: This is the time of year to reflect on the past year and to look forward to the next 12 months. We focus on the things we’ve achieved, the things we will achieve, our plans, our hopes, our dreams. Far, far too often [...]
Flickr Christmas
Go to your favourite Flickr friends’ photos, find photos with people in them, click ‘Add A Note’, type either ‘ho ho ho hat’ or ‘ho ho ho beard’ then add them to the picture. Have a look at what I did to one of Vinnie’s photos of Brian. Or what about Damien’s photo of Nicky. [...]
The Divine David
I went again. Tonight’s theme was ‘Mental Health’…This time I got proof. And a video of the wonderful David singing a Liza song.
I Was Almost Killed
Yesterday, around 4pm, I was in Clapham with my son. We had decided to go for an after-school snack at Esca. We stopped at the crosswalk, pressed the button and waited. The traffic’s red light came on, my green guy came up, the beeper started beeping and we started crossing the road. After about 3 [...]
Divine David
I’ve seen God and he takes the form of The Divine David. Last night I learned: The Divine David deserves to win the Turner Prize next year. I am not a gay basher… end of. Many Americans don’t understand the complexities of irony. That’s not my problem. Nor is it my duty to try and [...]
Rome
I’ve been in Rome for the weekend. I missed Brian, Andrew Macdonald and me on the Cinema Show on BBCFour – maybe Vinnie can do some screen grabs… though I will hopefully see it soon. I’m glad they used the lesbian dominatrix line… though I’ll probably be called a gay-basher for that now, too :-/. [...]
I Am A Gay-Basher
Yes, apparently Kitchenmage thought my Stormhoek post, which was wondering whether or not a man is gay if he orders white wine in a bar, was “gay-bashing”. I kinda forget that there are a lot of people in the world who really want to be ‘good people’ and think that means that they shouldn’t say [...]
An Early Christmas Pressie
I get quite a few emails from people asking me about how to set up a blog. I tend to tell them to start off using a free blog (Blogger or WordPress usually) and then if they enjoy it, they can later choose to have their own server and domain name. Now, as lots of [...]
Migrane
I’ve had a migraine on and off for several days now. They haven’t been so bad that I’ve been unable to move or get out of bed, but I’ve been very sensitive to light and sounds along with having a terrible headache… I’ve only ever had two migraines before in my life, both considerably worse [...]
1350th Day
Today we’ve been in Iraq longer than the United States was in World War II. In the over three and a half years after the Americans finally entered World War 2, the allies defeated Hitler, Mussolini and the Japanese Empire, suicide bombers and all. How friggen great were our grandparents (my grandfather is mentioned in [...]
OneGoalLimited
Please read my previous post entitled UK Mobile Scam… I’ve been getting several hits a day from people searching for OneGoalLimited. Clearly, a lot of people are being scammed by this company. In the comments section of my previous post I’ve included information I’ve got from a WHOIS search, including the name, email address, work [...]
Checking It Twice
It’s coming up to that time again. As a self-confessed window shopping addict I’ve got a pretty good idea of the kinds of cool pressies out there. For those of you who hate shopping, I’ve created a little list of some of the best things I’ve seen, so that you can simply click and purchase. [...]
Boy Genius
My son has a blog. We’ve been putting up some of his drawings – he’s got notebooks full. The latest one makes me wonder whether he might be another David Shrigley one day.
Achtung! Cat Blog Alert!
Tiger still doesn’t have much hair. It might take about 18 months for him to get his full coat. So when the temperature drops outside he’s not a happy little guy. I decided that he might benefit from a jumper. He’s too tiny to fit into a store bought one… so I cut the fingers [...]
UK Mobile Scam?
Note: update on this post here. Note 2/6/07: Grumble Text or 07text0spam might be able to help From a friend: There I am this morning, minding my own business, when I receive some sort of ‘Service Update’ text thing on my mobile. Thinking it’s from Orange, I open up the message, which straight-away opens up [...]
