Satruday at Cebtral Milton Keynes →
And it came to pass that the legend who is Tom Baker appeared at Central Milton Keynes. Although he didn’t wear his trademark tie, and I couldn’t hear his trademark coarse language, he still manages to impose himself at Collectamania in Central Milton Keynes. I managed to get this almost in focus and almost close-up of the man (ne TimeLord). There were also a number of Heroes regulars...
In the changing room →
In the changing room Originally uploaded by dazzer67 Going shopping for clothes uses more male calories than shopping for food. This can be seen by the attached photo where tiredness overcomes me after only a few minutes shopping for clothes. Although it has been widely thought that men have fewer calories to use for shopping, it was not known until now that the calories available also varied...
The Mighty Boosh is back →
Here’s the press release: “The funniest comedy double-act in Britain”(NME) are back! Transmission details announced for series three of The Mighty Boosh “Easily the freshest comedy on TV… The Mighty Boosh looked kaleidoscopically beautiful.” THE TELEGRAPH “Charming, audacious and genuinely innovative.” THE TIMES “Horror, music, art and comedy in one terrific psychedelic melting pot.”...
Gene genie? (rated 3 stars) →
Nextby Michael Crichton I have usually enjoyed most things that Michael Crichton does, from Andromeda Strain to Jurassic Park, but what about Next? In this novel Crichton takes on the interesting topic of genetics, how genes work, affect us and how they might be used to ‘better’ our existence – or perhaps increase the bank balance of those involved. Although the book was interesting and worth...
Just think about it →
It sustains us, shouldn’t we help sustain it?
England vs France Full-time →
Robin Rolls should never be believed, apart from matters of faith. England beat France in the Rugby World Cup semi-final
England vs France Half-time →
Well it is half time and the French are leading by one point. Robin Rolls on Facebook believes that France will win, so far he is right, so we’ll see.
Ever had one of those d'oh times? →
Now I want to make it clear that I wouldn’t change my broadband supplier. I believe the service and features, for the price I pay, is wonderful. So there you have it, I wouldn’t move from BTBroadband unless it was a matter of life and death - and I would recommend them to anyone. However (yes it is coming), there are one or two quirks that I have had to deal with and sometimes they...
BT Broadband issue resolved →
Just an update, as I like to be fair, to say that the issue with BT that I had has been resolved. I recieved a message from them yesterday saying that the situation was sorted and that I would not be charged in any way, shape or form. Now all I need is the phone that should have got to me yesterday as well - but there has been a postal strike.
It started with a bang, no a constant, no a string... →
The Origin of the Universe (Science Masters Series)by John D. Barrow I loved this. I must admit it wasn’t easy going, I haven’t had any great scientific education, and I am not sure how much I actually understood. It will probably need another read through now that I have got through it once. What it has done though is inspire me to read further about the subject, and that is no bad thing. So I’ll...
So I have an issue with BT Broadband →
I decide to give BT a call because of an issue I have with a new order. I call at about 6 in the evening, this is the busy time, most people with issues have just got home and like me decide to call at the same time. I dial, I listen to the voice prompts and press my buttons to get into a queue and then I make my first mistake. I am told that they are busy and that there will be a wait, I can, if...
Mid-crisis Life →
Compared to other people I have an awful lot, I have been blessed many times, am healthy, wealthy (apparently in the top 5-7% of earners across the whole planet) and wise (well I’m educated). However, as is the way of so many Gen Xers it seems my life has lurched from one crisis to another. I now believe that I am going through some sort of mid-crisis life. I feel more focussed than ever...
Cacti got my tongue →
My fingers are reasonably long, friendly relatives have previously said they are piano playing fingers. However, this has not proved true… I can’t play the piano apart from bashing out a few chords, the lead and bass lines of Kraftwerk’s Das Model (showing off with my linguistic skills there) and experimental riffs that Ross Geller would be proud of. My fingers are definitely not...
