I’m shortly going to go and try for any kind of a night’s sleep - this should be entertaining.
Damien is clearly trying to cement his status as a ‘diamond geezer’, as I’ve just received a package from him containing a Four Star Mary CD I haven’t been able to get for, well, for money, basically. […]

Insomnia - is that state
May 31, 2001 | Comments Off
Insomnia - is that state in which the world looks quite interesting at 1am, when most of the lights are out, and the night is disturbed only by a few late returners; looks less interesting at 3am, when all the lights are out and all you can think about is that everyone else is getting […]

Random quotations….egad I’m getting good at hacking other people’s code :-)
Had my last full day at the Hampshire office today - I’ve got to go back on Tuesday for my exit interview, but apart from that, I’m scarily close to being out of IBM. For good? Well, I was told today that I’d […]

It should be noted, by the way, that if you’re viewing this in any earlier version of Internet Explorer than 5.5, including earlier version 5s, you’re not seeing it quite right - the links on the right will probably be defaulting to system standards. How annoying *is* browser technology…..?

Well, all’s back where it’s supposed to be, more or less when I said it would be, last-minute Blogger glitches notwithstanding, and with a brand-spanking new look too. Sorry for the interruption to the service, but I’ve blogged throughout, so look at all the lovely catching up you can do…..
Thanks must go to all […]

About that ‘not-judging people’ thing
May 28, 2001 | 1 Comment
About that ‘not-judging people’ thing - we took the visitors out for Indian food last night, because they like it but don’t often get it, and there’s a really good Indian place near home. Unfortunately, just after we got there, another party, a man and two women, arrived, and proceeded to behave exactly like […]

So another Bank Holiday weekend
May 26, 2001 | Comments Off
So another Bank Holiday weekend is upon us, and the sun is shining again. This can’t be natural. It’s probably the end of the world or something.
Some friends of Chris’s (or strictly-speaking, a friend of Chris’s and her fiance) arrived in town last night. Veronique is Belgian, but I met her previously […]

So is Oscar Wilde supposed
May 25, 2001 | Comments Off
So is Oscar Wilde supposed to be having a bit of a revival and nobody told me? This morning I spotted the fourth person this week reading The Picture of Dorian Grey on the tube, and it just seems a bit too coincidental.

May 24, 2001 | Comments Off
Rant Warning: Okay - I was (a bit) wrong just now - there is an interesting(ish) item of election news. The ProLife Alliance have had their election broadcast refused an airing by the BBC on taste and decency grounds. The BBC think we (or specifically the people of Wales, where it was […]
