Eating out with a vegetarian
Vegetarians get a lot of stick. People like to try to make vegetarians justify their decision in a full and rational manner. It’s not really fair that this conversation comes up every time that they go out to diner. One reason for being vegetarian is because it’s a lot less wasteful in terms of natural [...]
Kinder Egg Caveman
This is my favourite kinder egg surprise ever! Very philosophical! I keep him on my computer at work to help me think.
Why I have a phobia of Frogs
Frogs are disgusting because their proportions are all wrong like something from a twisted nightmare. Their legs are fat and heavy but possess some horrible power that allow the creature to leap alarmingly quickly. They have evil bulbous eyes which sit watching everything and waiting so they can flick their disgusting tongue at a passing [...]
Misty Eyes
You know how a mirror in the bathroom mists up when you have a shower. I have just discovered that I can do the same with my eyeballs. I got a big mug of tea and as I was about to take a sip I let out a breath and the warm steamy air misted [...]
History Matters (17th/October/2006)
The BBC are getting as many people as possible to submit a blog entry for today so it can be used as a historical record in the future. This is my entry: Tuesday’s are the worst day of the week for me because I’m no longer rested from the weekend yet I still have 4 [...]
My Wedding (10th/June/2006)
Getting married was the best day of my life. I was a bit apprehensive that I wouldn’t be able to handle being the centre of attention and making a speech and stuff but all the nerves and anxiety helped make the day special and unforgettable. It was so touching that so many people went out [...]
Who shall I vote for? (4th/May/2006)
I’m not going to vote Tory because I’m detested by their smear-campaign. I’m not going to vote Lib dem because replacing council tax with a local income tax would totally screw me over. So I’m left with Labour or the Green party. I would vote for the Green party except they won’t win so I [...]
Stayed up late to time watch
I stayed up late because early in the morning on the 4th of May the time and date was “01:02:03 04/05/06″. It was too much of a unique and interesting date to miss. I used the opportunity to add anniversary reminders to my current software project (FothoFax). Fothofax screenshot Then I realised it’s not long [...]
I caved-in and got a mobile (29th/Mar/2006)
I feel ashamed that I’ve succumbed to the dark side and got a mobile. No longer am I gloriously cut off from the world. Why did I finally get one? I needed one to arrange my wedding (there’s only so many phone calls one can make from a work phone without feeling guilty). I was [...]
Tory mud slingers (27th/April/2005)
I think politicians should argue about how to make things better rather than spend time slagging their opposition. The current Tory election campaign is disgusting because all they are doing is slinging mud at Tony Blair. I know politicians always point out the other parties mistakes but they have gone too far and I’m sick [...]
Renting in Egham (Dec 2002-Dec 2003)
We rented a tiny one-up-one-down house in Egham near Stains. The novelty with this house was that it had stairs! we’d never had stairs before because we’ve lived in a London flat. Living in Egham was nice because I could cycle to work at Heathrow airport. Upstairs Downstairs
Hantario. (Died 31st August 2003)
We had a hamster called Hantario. He got this name from a mix up by Chloe’s brother of Hamtaro, a cartoon hamster. He’s now gone to the big cage in the sky but his memory lives on. RIP Hanty.
Why I don’t have a mobile phone
I don’t have a mobile phone yet and I often get asked why? I like being totally cut off from the world knowing that I can’t talk to anyone or anyone talk to me. I could get one and leave it off but then I may as well save money and not get one. Mobile [...]
Phantom Food
With a bit of imagination there’s loads of food one can enjoy on a diet. Welcome to the unreal meal: Breakfast: A Ethereal-egg on ghost-toast A Nothing-muffin or a None-bun (served with begone-butter). Lunch: A Fake-steak with zip-chips A Ghost-roast (either scam-lamb, sham-ham or missin-chicken) Black-Hole Spag-Bol Pudding: Air-eclair zero-belly jelly Fake-cake Tea-Time: Temporary-tea or [...]
Pen-Fu (aka Pen-spinning)
As a computer programmer, with my hands at a keyboard for up-to 12 hours a day, I practice Pen-Fu to exercise my fingers and prevent RSI. Pen-Fu is like Kung-Fu but with pens rather than combat . Think of Boris, the computer hacker in 007 Goldeneye… He was a novice pen ninja. Check out www.pentrix.com [...]
