Today it appears to be pissing down. That was a fraction unexpected, considering the relentless heat of the last few days. I've gotta give it to Austin though – ignoring for a moment he's about as smart as a row
2004-01-01 : Happy New Year !!!
Today marked my first day on site at the Jamboree. After awakening feeling a bit stuffed (not hungover mind you – it would take a bit to beat Christmas morning !!), I wandered over to Woodhouse to see where they'd
2003-12-30 : Incidentally…
I went and saw Return of the King the other night – gotta love that whole queueing up for an hour to see a movie you've already got a ticket for… Great film and all, but I'm not going to
