  • Nice β€˜N’ Naughty

    Claire, Matt, Paul, Sian and I visited Nice 'N' Naughty, Aberystwyth's second sex shop, as it opened at 9am this morning. Other folks who'd promised to come along, such as Jon and Hayley, Andy, and Ruth and JTA, were nowhere to be seen. What follows is, essentially, my "review" of the establishment:

    The shopfront itself is …

  • 50 GMail Invites!!!

    This is just silly. I have 50 - yes, count 'em - 50 GMail invites. Nope; 49, now. If you want one, shout. And yes; Becky, I'll sort one for you as soon as you tell me where to e-mail it to.

  • Dreams Of Scrabble

    Odd dream last night:

    Claire, Matt, Sian, Andy R and I were sat in a circle on the large pavement outside the dry cleaners on Great Darkgate Street, Aberystwyth, playing Scrabble. I wasn't very comfortable sat where I was (between Claire and Sian), so I swapped places with Matt (between Sian and Andy), which was …

  • Recipe Of The Evening

    Got a recipe suggestion for you all, again: Bryn's Challenge is at least allowing me to be a little bit more imaginative and try making things that "come to mind" (the bad ideas don't make it here). So, today's meal - which Claire assures me is "really, really good", is presented below:

    Chicken And Bacon …

  • Paul & Jen on their date

    Curry With Friends

    Went out last night for curry and beers to Cafe All Spice with:

    Jen - professional cynic
    Claire - professional mimic
    Bryn - protestable critic
    Andy - procrastinating graduate
    Sian - political constitutionalist
    and Paul - pineapple coconut

    And a fantastic night was had by all, I feel. …

    I'm not going to say anything: I'll leave that to the people who comment here...

  • Sam’s Spam

    I just got swamped by about 150 bits of trackback spam. Not a problem - I know how to deal with it and I was able to get rid of it all in line of SQL code... and it was also interesting to see that I rank highly enough in common searches to find 'open' …

    I'm sure that by now you'll all be aware of the upcoming opening of Nice 'n' Naughty, the latest in a chain of sex shops (the latest of which was opened in Bangor, of all places), in Aberystwyth. It'll be opening on Pier Street, on the site of the old Little Amsterdam (who's web site …
