Nothing to say today

Been a bit busy, so no skiving off to watch the football today. I did watch England just about win yesterday, missed the goal. It did make the afternoon go quickly not stopping for lunch until 4pm. Have seen bits and pieces like Italy going out, out ...

have u listened to the latest engadget podcast?

i havent been listening to it that long, but every week it seems to become more of an ad hoc manifesto about life+technology...it doesnt really represent the latest stories on the website. nonetheless, it's quite interesting, particularly their views...

I've not actually, I tend to bumble along

I saw some snippets this morning, that google software bundle is a bit of an odd one.

The Ship Inn has finally been extended

This was talked about all the time I used to go in there, I never thought it would happen. They have a swanky looking dining room and new roof terrace now, looks very nice. The front bar still seems the same though.Went past today and peeped in the d...

Nick Heywood

The 80's popstar had been enjoying Freeheat and the Parkinsons. Had a bit of a natter with him. Think he was quite pleased to be spotted. An absolute gentleman.

Saturday, 28th July. In the morning some time.A little kid of about 6, with his face painted like spiderman came and 'trapped the group with his web' because we were all baddies. The web cured us from being baddies, though, and he then sat down to en...

Frank Skinner's Credit Crunch Cabaret, featuring Richard Herring
