The Joy of Hoovers

Is �209 a good price for one of these? That's how much they are in Stoke Newington Safeways right now. We're going back to get one, hopefully we will see Nigel out of 'Stenders there too....

No sign of Nigel

but the Dyson was fine - one pass of the living room though and the chamber (there's no bags in these non-hoovers) is half full, it's disgusting. Going to hoover all my clothes next.Big up to the wanker security guard in Safeway who challenged me for...

There's a Titanic exhibition opening at the Science museum next week... My Grandad's cousin (or is it second cousin?) Charles Valentine Clarke was lost on the Titanic....

Staying In vs Going Out

Just contemplating whether to go out and drink beer some sort of BEAR themed evening with chum MJ Hibbett at the Bull and Gate or stay in with Clare and watch some films she's got in, Ocean's Eleven and Meet The Parents. Also currently consuming the ...

Links

Hmm, The Royal Bengal's menu advertises http://www.theroyalbengal.com but it's going nowhere at teh time of writing... http://www.barlorca.com doesn't work in this browser and didn't come up when I searched for them on the web... in MSIE it works and...

Favelets

AKA bookmarklets. Saw these mentioned on pidster.com yesterday, and then blow me, saw one in action today... as I get it it's the art of putting a little bit of javascript in as a bookmark / favourite... I've not done this exactly, but the new "appro...

Plans and Apologies

Off to see plans and apologies at the B&G, wonder if they've updated their website? Then AWAY for a few days, Elvis has left the building, thangyewverymuch.

Save the 73

Mate from casino-avenue.co.uk forwards me savethe73.com - I'm quite interested to see a bendy bus in Stokey myself. I hope they divert it down Lordship Road for no reason other than to annoy the woman from N16 Mag who's made more NIMBY comments in th...

Viva Las Vegas

I have been in that Las Vegas, nice place, shame about the food, for me anyway. Had a nice grilled vege sub from Quizno's on the way home, but apart from that it's not the best place for a vegan. Breakfast was fried potato and spicy tomato sauce, mor...

WE HAVE COME FOR YOUR HARD DRIVE

Just put the Foo Fighters album One By One in my computer for the first and it's TAKEN OVER my computer... everything hung until I pressed the eject button, then things were fine, tried again, and it did the same... then I decided to leave it a bit l...

Vegetarian Jack Daniels Kebabs

They worked out fantastically, just chopped veges marinated in JD, Sesame oil, sugar, stock and seasoning, skewered and grilled... will definitely make them again for Richy's barbecue... And my javascript is working fine now.

javascript

Just changed my javascript here so if you click on the google / dictionary button (got to post a message / reply to see them) it'll chuck in a google link to that word... if nothing's highlit, it'll prompt you for something... Not very advanced, but ...

Oof, bum arse service in The Jackdaw

Just been to The Jackdaw for lunch, and though the food was great again (one Indonesian vegetable satay, one roast beef and one roast turkey, not all me you understand) we had a hiccup with our starter. The main courses came before the starter, not i...

Can find very little on Brownswood Library

What few pages come up on Google is either out of date or currently not responding. That should be a "Finsbury Park - twinned with the axis of evil" t-shirt I think.Experiments in CSS not going so well. Vege kebabs for tea again though with rum this ...

Bahia De Alcudia

"Guten Tag" as they say in Majorca... weather is fine, though we had one day of rain, food is shockingly bad, Clare got food poisoning one day. Not from the hotel though, we've not eaten much here. The guests seem to be about half English and half Ge...

Thieving bastards

Look out if you're coming to Majorca, the place is crawling with thieves. Actually no it's not, but we've encountered a couple of criminal signs... saw a couple of kids trying it on by the pool of our hotel, ripping off tourist handbags, and noticed ...

Holiday reading

While I was away I read Matthew's Prize: Being the Tale of a Whitby Orphan Boy's Longing to Navigate the Broad Seas though I didn't know the title was so long at the time... it's about PIRATES, and it's quite good, if a bit of a blokey version of a m...

David Devant

An press release about David Devant the Magician, not to be confused with old fave of mine David Devant the band... Well, maybe it's OK to confuse them as one is named after the other.English Heritage plaque to conjurer David Devant to be unveiled at...

Overgrown Stoke Newington

Dozed off for a mintue and thought I was on the wrong bus earlier, Lordship Park seems to have wildly overgrown while I've been at Glastonbury... must have been the little burst of really heavy rain and hot sun, it's made all the trees and the plants...
