A break from the norm. Rather than darting from work back to Marylebone, I took the civilized approach. Only because I was traveling on the tube with a colleague. We headed onto the main concourse at Marylebone, with our eyes peeled to the departure board. Lady luck was shining for one of us. The train […]
Sunday 1st August 2004
So August is upon us. A fresh start. A special month. Uniquely slotted in between July and my favourite time of year, September. The football season re-starts. The kids are on holiday. Many are away on holiday. The silly season, as often referred to by the tabloid press. Are you a gamer? More importantly, are […]

My shift patterns have been erratic to say the least this week. Although home time had been set to 4pm, for four days, I only actually left the office at that time on Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday turned out to be, the day I had a brush with Royalty. Although, my lunch slot is midday, it […]

Planning and management is important. Even for some of the straightforward of tasks, you would think that a small degree of thought would go a long way. In my personal experience, this is never the case. Although I forever, dream of that Hannibal moment. I am forever waiting for the moment to say, “I love […]

Can you predict the future? I cannot and make no false claims to be able to do so. Let us make that small fact, quite clear from the offset. (It is pure coincidence, that my recent discussion on instant messenger, appears again, in the context of blogging on Diamond Geezer.) However, I can always take […]

Which is your favourite instant messenger? I started off with ICQ in the late 90s, building up a contact list of two hundred people, around the world. Then, I gave Yahoo! Messenger a go. Early versions were rather basic and slow, but it slowly improved. Then in 1999, when I created my Hotmail account, I […]

Most mornings, as I munch on my Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes, I watch television. I tend to just watch music channels and look out for something interesting to listen to and wake me up. Usually, the same select few videos being shown, at what is still deemed nightshift period for the channel operators. Flickering […]

For some strange reason, I have had the urge to drink original Lucozade for the past few weeks. At a young age, the strange bright orange liquid was always seen as some magic potion. Maybe because I only ever remember my Dad buying it to take for our grandmother when she was in hospital. I […]
Saturday 10th July 2004
Been at working in my new job for three weeks now. My role has not changed so much, as I am being given a chance to help out with the help desk. Although I am no stranger to technical support, it is strange, when I am dealing with hundreds of members of staff. My telephone […]
Sunday 4th July 2004
This evening, I turn to the dreary subject of football and with it England. I have finally decided to discuss it, as the dust begins to settle, with the final taking place this evening. What I love about international tournaments, is how it turns everyone into football fans. Even those, who have not even a […]
