OK, here's my first public plea for help – we need a plug for our kitchen sink. At the moment we're doing the washing in a plastic basin-type-thing which sits in the sink, and it's REALLY GIVING ME THE SHITS ! Not that it's the only thing doing that at the moment, but that's a…
Here's one to appease those tired of reading long posts on my site. Didn't do much this weekend – went down to HomeBase (a “hardware store”) to get some picture rail hooks, but they didn't have any. Decided to conduct a photographic essay on the number of Chicken Shops on Willesden High Road, but then…
Couple more things – firstly Happy Birthday Tim, cos y'know… it's his birthday and all. As a special present I was almost tempted to link to that arse photo again, but I think the world can do without. Secondly, I've had a few emails from people discussing Billy Connolly's recent headlines… Now having read a…
Wow, time appears to be flying. It's been a mucho busy week ! Firstly, we have hot water again. That was Saturday's breakthrough. After almost a week of having a procession of fairly useless non-plumbers file through and explain that “they can't possibly fix it today, because it's the valve/tank/pump/flux capacitor/whatever” we decided to call…
Got a couple of days to catch up on here. I've been pretty busy too, so I'll try to keep it down to 25 paragraphs or so. Tuesday morning when I went to get in the shower, it seemed like the hot water was taking an awful long time to heat up. After several minutes…
OK, *I'm* not in Holland, but Pat and Jules are as part of their European Tour (obviously they couldn't fit the rest of the band in their luggage… but what else do you really need other than a bass player and a guest vocalist ?), and they showed the good judgement to send me a…
(Incidentally, if you haven't heard “The Prole Song” by Snog, check it out – it's a favourite of mine at the minute. Thanks Richie !) Nothing much new – just slaving over a hot keyboard for endless hours a day. I still have mixed feelings about working until 10pm on a Sunday night. Part of…
One of things about living regular everyday life, rather than going off on big adventures, is that there usually ceases to be great important tales of circumstance to relate. However the large nuggets of story-like matter are replaced by a vast amount of little tidbits of interest. That's my way of saying “not much has…
Wow. I had my first Ikea experience today. I had to get some things for my room, like a bedside table and a rug (cos I hate walking on polished floorboards barefoot!), and it seemed like it was going to be the easiest option. Well… lemme tell ya, irrespective of how inexpensive, and cleanly designed…
Aaaaaah, the cavalcade of f*ckups continues (that fairy must be back around here someplace !?). Not that I want to spend EVERY web page entry complaining about it… although I'm gonna :) Naaaaaaaaah, can't be bothered. I *will* however remind my legions of adoring readers (i.e. BOTH of you) about International Talk Like A Pirate…
