Tonight a bunch of us went out for Charlie's birthday, and it was lotsa fun – great company, good atmosphere, and overall a good laugh. The thing that piqued my interest though was the restaurant that we went to –
2004-12-21 : I have to push the pramalooooooooooooot
Eric Idle has written a new musical based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It sounds thoroughly awesome (and it appears to have a very silly website), but the story doesn't make any mention of a UK run. To
2004-12-16 : Christmas is a time of beards.
I'm not sure how quite to segue into this discussion, so I'll go with my usual approach of just blundering into it unexpectedly instead. There's been some advertising on here lately for various steps forward in the world of shaving
2004-12-08 : “Fecund” isn’t as rude a word as it sounds.
Intriguingly, after my last post I got 6 or 7 emails from people saying “But didn't you have BACKUPS ?”… I think the obvious answer is that if I had backups I wouldn't be nearly as cranked off ! As
2004-11-28 : Wow, they didn’t even chase me out of the building this time !
Had my last day at Reuters yesterday – was a bit weird… excited that I'll be starting my new job on Monday, but at the same time I'm gonna miss the 8th floor gang. I'm not going to miss the
2004-11-16 : Don’t let the fact it’s bollocks get in the way of saying it.

2004-11-06 : Settle in boys and girls, it’s gonna be a big one.
I do hope I don't sound like I'm always complaining about this place – I'm really enjoying being in the UK, and wouldn't have traded the decision to come over for anything (maybe for a dinosaur, but that's just a
2004-10-01 : Lapis Lazuli
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
2004-09-29 : Vee are in Holland ! Isn’t dat VEIRD !?
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
