Yet More Gay Marriage
September 28, 2004 | Comments Off
I’ve remarked before how amazed I am by the fact that the issue of gay marriage seems to have come to the fore in so many places around the world in such a short preiod of time. I still don’t understand how countries with such disparate cultures and perspectives can all be reaching the […]

Have Passport, Can Travel

I can’t remember if I mentioned it, but according to the original plan, I was going to be in San Francisco for work all last week. That had to be changed for various reasons and I’m now going the week commencing Monday 11th of next month. However, because of that, I end up […]

Battlefront
September 27, 2004 | 4 Comments
The other thing that we did over the weekend (though truthfully, one of us did it a *lot* more than the other), is play Star Wars: Battlefront, which was released on Friday. I keep suprising myself lately by being more into things I’d usually have no time for than I ever expect […]

Woar!

In a desperate attempt to get out and do something with yesterday, we went to the cinema (I know - radical), and I’m very pleased that we did. Hero, Zhang Yimou’s ‘new’ film (actually two years old) is utterly amazing. A story of pre-unification China, the clever and complex story is impressive enough, […]

Rugger Buggered
September 24, 2004 | Comments Off
Meant to mention - the atmosphere in The Cork last night was slightly marred by the very loud table of five blokes who were behaving in best stereotype rugger bugger manner - lots of faux aggression, lots of drinking and shouting, and a general willingness to whip their dicks out at a moment’s notice and […]

They’re Back….

….And this time, they’re married.
Dave and Octavia got back from their honeymoon yesterday, so the Cork and Bottle beckoned for a glass or three and a catch-up. The trip appears to have had its ups and downs, which Dave will no doubt expand upon in due course.
Now, what about some wedding photos then?

It’s Official

Parcelforce have now definitively confirmed that they have absolutely no idea where the package is. I have to get on to Amazon for a replacement and they (Amazon) will have to claim for the original from Parcelforce. It’s unreal how their supposedly sophisticated system can fall apart so badly.
So let’s see what happens […]

More Grrrr

Back to the subject of my missing Amazon order:
I just spoke to the Parcelforce ‘Helpline’, who told me that they have no idea where my package is, they’ll have to put a trace on it and with luck I’ll hear back within 48 hours. “Okay?” “Well no, not really - it’s hardly okay […]

*Apparently….*

…. and don’t tell anyone I told you so; Pro-hunting protesters are going to topple the government.
It must be true, because Brian Ferry’s ex-wife said so, and she’s very angry, and so are thousands of others.
I’m fascinated to know what she’s planning on replacing it with.

Wedding Photos?
September 22, 2004 | 3 Comments
So did anybody at Dave and Octavia’s wedding actually have memory cards in their cameras, I wonder? I’ve never seen so many flashes going off at a cake-cutting, but none of the people there seem to have put any of them online. I obviously was a bit preoccupied, so I didn’t bother with […]
