You are here.
The game plan was that we were going to head out to Canterbury for a bit of a dance, then on down to Rye for the long weekend. The guys came and collected me from Camden, and The Navigator (names omitted to protect the guilty) indicated that he'd sorted out the best route possible. I…
The tour's going extremely well, with the exception of some fairly rubbish rain arrangements. It hammered down Wednesday and disrupted our tour with the Westminster Men, it was a lovely day yesterday when the Adelaide men went off to France, and now today it's bucketing down again. Go England !! So anyway, following Moulton we…
Greetings from the M25. We may be here for some time. Special greetings to our new Northamptonshire readership.
On tour in the Cotswolds at the minute with the Adelaide Morris Men. Having a bloody good time, what's more! On the weekend we went to Moulton and met & danced with the guys from Saddleworth, Thaxted, Huddersfield, Adderbury, & various other spots. There were some extremely cute girls about too, which is a litlle…
What a wondrous sight was our place of breakfast on Day 2 in Spain – the Museo de Jamon. Museum of Ham. Pure poetry. All that wonderful cured ham, hanging from the roof, waiting for discerning punters likeourselves to come and enjoy it. Apparently the pigs are brought up in a completely stress free environment…

Finally, a useful side effect of picking a tightarse Tuesday budget airline to fly with !! Since getting to the UK I've been talking about hopping over to Germany to go visit me ol' high school chum Wib, and I finally got around to it. It turned out not to be that complex a proposition,…
My idiot co-worker (who I've successfully avoided bitching about thus far) raised another one of his inane complaints the other day, this time not to do with the software. Apparently the fan on my PC case is disturbing the dust on his desk and making him sneeze more than usual, and could I do something…
What seems like about 100 years ago, I got to go to my first stadium gig. Wembley Arena (not Wembley Stadium, cos it's not properly built yet & the roof keeps falling in). Yeah, so anyway, still a big venue. And luckily my seat was about halfway up the side, so I could just make…
Time flies, therefore, am having fun. Lots to report, and no time to currently do it in. In the meantime, here's an interesting fact which Wazza dug up: The name of the first Dutchman in space was Wubbo Ockels.
