An ambitious yuppie finally decided to take a vacation. He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life. Until the boat sank. The man found himself swept up on the shore of an island with no other people, no supplies, . . . nothing. Only bananas and coconuts. After about four months, he [...]

Hooray! This morning I finished ripping all of our CD collection into iTunes. It’s taken months, mainly because there were huge gaps where I just couldn’t be bothered but now it’s done and it was really worth the hassle. The stats are: 35.06 GB 57.9 days worth 8343 tracks 655 Albums (this includes EP’s and singles) 329 artists Next thing is to do a [...]

I was at the Orient vs. Yeovil game on Tuesday night. There wasn’t much of a crowd which is ironic seeing as it was the best game I’ve seen them play all season. Anyway, at one point I noticed a whole bank of seats in the south stand with just one guy sat in them, the [...]

I’m hooked on the Battlestar Galactica remake. To date I’ve seen everything up to the 2nd Episode of the 2nd series, apparently this episode is called the Valley of Darkness; not to be confused with the Valley of the Shadows by Origin Unknown, that’s slightly different. Anyway, in this episode Starbuck happens to drop by her [...]

I am finding that the ability to listen to recent BBC Radio transmissions via my iPod is having some unexpected side effects. It all started when we got a DAB Radio for our kitchen. For both of us it’s rekindled an interest in listening to the Radio other than just the Today Programme in the morning [...]

Akai M-8 Reel to Reel Tape Recorder

I write this listening to my Akai M-8 valve powered reel to reel tape recorder. It’s playing a random tape that I bought on eBay for a fiver entitled ‘Genesis: And then there were three’. Luckily for me that was obviously recorded over and it actually contains Jean Michel Jarre’s Concerts in China which I’ve [...]

I was just having a peek at the IOC website and noticed that the London 2012 games will be the ‘XXX Olympiad’. I assume that it’s just that we’re the 30th but I prefer to think the IOC thinks that the 2012 games will be EXTREME. IOC page on the XXX Olympiad

Liz takes a peek at London 2012 Olympic site

On my cycle to work this morning I noticed a number of London 2012 (notice no ‘candidate city’ strapline) barrage balloons tethered to the ground near where the Olympics velodrome is/will be and seeing as the last time I saw them was on the day that the IOC inpsectors did their rounds I thought to [...]

Cathie recently found this: What is Give or Take? Give or Take Days are events run by FRP in NE London since 1999. We collect unwanted items, take them to a central location, and give them away. We only run 6 - 8 of these a year, so we built this site to let people give or take 365 [...]

Ackers made an excellent summation of what it’s like being around our little ones at the moment. I normally take the morning shift and it’s just like this, it’s *great*. I’m finding the twins so very hard at the moment. Nothing major but just constant ‘I want Ready Brek with honey in it!’ ‘Not HOT Ready Break [...]
