There are always records at stake and I suppose when you think about it there always will be. Today there were both those of common knowledge and one of personal insignificance. Let me go back and start right from the beginning. I woke up just before 9am and after breakfast got ready to head to […]

Strange week. Productive week. Demanding week. Glad Friday is finally here, although once again not much planned for the weekend. Perhaps I should start with the video I uploaded to You Tube last Friday evening. On Wednesday evening when I was reading the comments and looking at the statistics. It was around 4000 with around […]

Suddenly in the space of a few hours, I have loads to report. Let me start with the geek stuff. Last August, I started using Technorati, thinking it would be the best way to start pushing my blog out there to the big wide world, rather than just a group of friends and people that […]

It rarely happens, so I am going to make a big point of mentioning it right at the beginning of this new post. Everything came together as planned this weekend. (Even if for moments at the start it was felt far from possible) Perhaps for the first time in ages not even a miniscule detail […]

Do you like routine? I am a big fan of setting a routine and sticking with it. Therefore you can understand any changes to my routine affect me a great deal. Let me give the example of Wednesday this week. I was looking forward to the game that evening, but rather than taking the soft […]

Another new England era started on Wednesday night with a convincing performance against Greece at Old Trafford. I have been here many times before. In the past decade I have see the debut game for the following England managers. Hoddle, Keegan, Eriksson and now McClaren. I have always seen England give an improved run out, […]

It had been a difficult night, unpleasantly hot and I had been unable to sleep. I wanted to get up earlier than I did, much earlier. It was way past 8.30am by the time I did get out of bed, but I had wanted to be getting ready and heading into town by then. Instead […]

To be honest, I expected it to arrive later in the week, perhaps as late as Saturday morning. So you can imagine my surprise when I came home and found the silver special delivery placed on my leather chair. I knew instantly what it was and rushed to open it up and show my Mum. […]

Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest last night at the Vue in Oxford. As you could have predicted, the early evening screenings were sold out. Luckily my friend and I had already planned to go and watch the 9.30pm screening, so I arrived to book tickets at 7.30pm, there were plenty […]
Friday 7th July 2006
A year ago, I was on my computer at work, taking phones calls to the helpdesk as normal. I opened up Firefox for the first time that morning to the BBC News web site (which is the default home page on all my personal computers) to find a breaking story of power surges on the […]
