Incidentally, if anyone's in the mood and isn't busy Friday night, I'll be heading down to The Wheatsheaf International on Friday night from about 7:30 onwards. It vaguely resembles this dated photo, although I'm not sure it's that shade of green any more. Might be. By the time I normally get there I'm too eager…

Well that's hardly the comprehensive travelogue we were all hoping for – since getting back to Australia I've only managed to write twice, and one of them was about giant squid ?! Best do a lightning summary, cos I'm meant to be meeting someone for lunch in 25 minutes. Sunday I spent mainly down at…

Breaking from the travelogue for a moment, it appears that Japanese scientists have captured the first ever photographs of a living Giant Squid! Kinda creepy, huh ? Apparently though several have washed up on beaches from time to time, the beastie's never been seen alive, and the photos give insight into its hunting methods. Previously…

It is *so* good to be back. Have been a bit flat out to write anything (and believe it or not, I've only checked my email like 4 times since I've been here !!), so I'll try to give a quick synopsis before popping off to bed. Flight from Singapore was “interesting” – got sat…

…seem to be “bugger all”. Or at least that's what my chances of getting a ticket to this are, it seems. Mind you I only just found out it was on, so I don't suppose that's cause for being *too* upset.

Feh. Anyone ever have one of those days where nothing major goes wrong, but there's just a string of little niggling inconveniences which add up into a relentless tide of irritation ? I call those “weekdays”. Today was more or less OK, except that when I was in a hurry to get to kickboxing the…

I could have sworn that when I left work on Friday I had a nice quiet, relaxing weekend planned. Friday was *supposed* to be popping out for a couple of beers with Ciaran to celebrate his birthday and his new job, however part way through the night I randomly ran into Andrea from my old…
