Just a quick note to say that I finally got around to uploading a bunch of new photos to the gallery section: I don't think I've added much since about December, so there's plenty to look at. There's pictures from the housewarming on the weekend just gone, which are a little misleading because they tend…

I'll post up the housewarming photos after all necessary edits and exclusions have been approved through the official channels, etc. etc. (i.e. I was perfectly happy to put them all online, however have elected not to in favour of having my workmates ever speak to me again). But instead, I thought I'd share this gem…

Sometimes a story comes along that's just too ripe not to tell. Hopefully everybody involved in this one can see the funny side… During my packing up to move to the UK, I decided that bringing a suit would be a good idea. The one I wanted to bring turned out to need a dry…

Now THAT was a fun housewarming! However so far it's been one of those mornings where I find myself thinking “It's possible that I ate a little too much cat food last night”. We've all been there.

And in typical fashion, Jason and Charlie's new broadband arrangement is off to a flying start! We signed up with a crowd offering 4MBit ADSL, both being a little tired of the shambles of an ISP we both used before, and rather blindly hoped for the best. Clue number 1 reared its head when their…

You've got to question the mentality of someone who buys an espresso machine and then a week later gives up coffee, don't you ? And now, I'm gonna succumb to nerdly behaviour – because I don't really have anything else to report – and throw in this Music Meme: Total amount of music files on…

Wow, who would have thought ? I must be turning British – I'm about to write my second blog entry about *weather* ! What's next ? A dissertation of optimum underground routes from Baker Street to Wimbledon ? Anyway, as previously reported, we've had a spot of snow in ole Londonny Town, and initially I…

I'm a little surprised I haven't read this over at Waxing Cynical before today, but what I now intend to vent about is the TV phenomenon known as “World's {adjective}st {topic}” shows. Television Production to me seems like a sine wave of ever decreasing amplitude – as time goes by you get high points and…

Dublin update's in the pipeline, and has started, so when I get around to finishing it it'll appear in the list below this message. This weekend I don't remember doing a great deal really – it was meant to be a nice relaxing weekend at home, however I can't say that the relaxation component has…

There, OK ? I said it. I used that word. It's the Irish word for “having a good time”. Now without wanting to appear *too* cynical, I just want to make it fairly clear that an Irish good time isn't necessarily any better than a regular garden variety good time. Or maybe it is, and…
