  • I Don’t Think This Will Work

    I received this e-mail from a co-worker this morning. I don't think it will work, so I'd like to do a test - Jon is particularly good at locking his keys in his car (he managed to do so on Saturday, while driving it, which is quite impressive), so perhaps he'd try this out for …

  • Yeeaaaeaaeaa-aaah!

    "Yeeaaaeaaeaa-aaah! Yeee-aaah! I feel hardcore! Yeeaaaeaaeaa-aaah! Yeee-aaah! Always hardcore!"

    Scooter can't help but make me feel good on a morning where I've been made to get up earlier than I'd have liked (listen here).

  • Pagan Wanderer Lu

    What a great gig last night. Amazing. Will say more in the morning, but suffice to say that Mr. Wanderer Lu was well on-form (apart from a slight lyrics hiccup in a new song I particularly liked): drew a great crowd too. Now... time for bed.

    Pagan Wander Lu reports that this was his …

  • Bryn’s Challenge - Looking Back

    Well; today, Bryn's Challenge came to an end - so those of us who were participating (and didn't give up along the way) can go back to our regular amount of fast food once more. I, for one, will be enjoying a Tex Mex burger at Burger King this evening (you're all welcome to join …

  • So I’m Sat At Work…

    ...minding my own business, and some random guy walks in through the office door, looking lost. Nobody seems to get up to see to him, so I - in my new desk, which is quite close to the door - go over to greet him. "Is there;" he begins, sounding a little unsure of himself, …

  • Thai-Style Turkey & Rice

    I've always been drawn to trying to prepare a fried-rice dish, but I've always been put off by the risk of burning it (I'd have imagined that it would be difficult to prevent rice from over-cooking and sticking to the pan, which would make for far-from delightful cleaning, later). But having watched Ken Hom preparing …

  • Future History Of Comedy

    Went to the Future History Of Comedy last night. I'm not going to write about it here, because this is what I would have said.

    That post by Andy subsequently got made friends-only, so I've republished it here to save you dragging it off archive.org:
    Went to a student-run comedy night last night on the promise …
