Bad Language
January 26, 2005 | 1 Comment
I know, I know - I have no one but myself to blame.
If I will listen to Today on the radio on the way to work I will inevitably hear things that annoy me, but usually they’re just things like interviewers being crap or John Humphreys.
But today I was running later than usual and consequently […]

Bad Sign
January 24, 2005 | 3 Comments
You know you’re in trouble when….
…. you’re in a cab in a city you’ve never been to before, and the cab driver pulls over after the meter has gone well over the fare that you were told the journey should take, looks at his A-Z and then mutters “Merde!” before throwing the cab into reverse […]

Where Did The Last Week Go?
January 23, 2005 | Comments Off
It’s been an interesting week - lots of change happening at work which has been occupying my time, plus I’ve been in ‘Stranger In My Own Home’ as previously discussed, so I’ve been feeling a bit detached from my own life and not in a frame of mind to discuss it.
But it’s also been quite […]

I know, I know, it’s a crap play on words, but someone had to do it.
We got very excited yesterday by the arrival of Huygens on Titan, following the news through the day and much looking forward to the BBC programme about it late in the evening.
What a crashing disappointment. Not the news or […]

Put yourself in this situation:
You go out for the night (taking your car with you).
You have a few drinks and decide to take some prescribed medication because you “like the head swim” it gives you. You drink some more.
You reach a point, courtesy of the drink and drugs, where subsequently large parts of the […]

Hate Being Ill
January 12, 2005 | 1 Comment
Remember a couple of days ago I mentioned that I was past the point where I felt ill any more and just wanted to get rid of the congested stuff? Well as of this morning I’m annoyed to report that I’m actually feeling ill again….
I hate the way this damn bug is just dragging […]

New Year, Same Busy Busy Busy
January 11, 2005 | Comments Off
I’m having a hard time believing that a week into the new year, we’re already so swamped with stuff going on at work. I’d be feeling a lot more positive about it if I wasn’t still feeling the effects of the bug that I started in on back on Christmas Day. I’m past […]

A Stranger In My Own Home
January 11, 2005 | Comments Off
I’m feeling a bit itinerant at the moment. Having spent last week away from the flat while the brother and sister-in-law-to-be visited, I’m moving out again today to let a mate stay for a bit, then from the 25th, when Chris and then Brian come back to the UK they’re going to use the […]
