Dear me… I've just been informed of a hilarious concept – that of Scam Baiting. Almost anyone with an email address would know by now of the “Nigerian Scams”, where people are asked to supply their bank details to various folk in various countries, at the promise of humungous reward. Well this guy has mastered…
I couldn't let my brother's buttocks take “pole position” in this weblog (OK, there's possibly a better phrase I could have used there, but moving on…!). Several weeks ago now, a colleague of mine decided to go on a trip overseas to take in the sights, sounds and experiences of some other cultures. Naturally, all…
I don't really have much to say about the weekend just gone, because it was just your typical Christmas time variety of overeating burnt meat and getting tipsy, however I do have one article which will be of extreme disinterest to pretty much anyone. My dear brother Timothy seems to have gotten hold of a…
Well well, today we had our staff Christmas picnic. I'd have to say, it was a pretty fine time, if not a little… umm… RAINY ! What's that all about, eh ? A cold, overcast, rainy day in DECEMBER for god's sake !? Only a couple of years ago it was averaging about 37!! Very…
frobnicate /frob'ni-kayt/ (Possibly from frobnitz, and usually abbreviated to frob, but “frobnicate” is recognised as the official full form). To manipulate or adjust, to tweak. One frequently frobnicates bits or other 2-state devices. Thus: “Please frob the light switch” (that is, flip it), but also “Stop frobnicating that clasp; you'll break it”. One also sees…
Last night as I was leaving the office (at about 9pm !), I noticed that there was an unusually large number of little flying things in the air. I'm not sure what the deal is with insects – Alex Coombe might know – but there seems to be one night every so often where these…
Happy Birthday Morgan ! ! ! ! Only 67 sleeps to go til I go to Perth!
Stage 2 of the tshirt purge happened tonight. I decided to aim for a target of 20 tshirts. I mean really, isn't that enough ?? I then put them into heaps of 'essential', 'would be good to keep if I can', and 'how the hell did this make it through round 1'. At the end…
Ah well, another night out on the turps with Michael J Winfield, only this time I survived. Last night I went to see “ASO goes Lounge” at the Festival Theatre. Not quite sure what led to them mounting this concert exactly… I get the feeling it may have been something 'popular' to get some bums…
I wish to publicly acknowledge the efforts and contributions of my esteemed housemate, Mike James, for his latest contribution to my phrase vocabulary. For now, if someone is irritating you with something, you can invite them thusly: “You may append that item to your rectal inventory”. It's pure gold. Way to go Mike.
