Month: December 2000

Man strikes oil in his back garden – hmm. Something strange here – how come the builders didn’t notice the oil when they built this guy’s house?

Saddam grabbing PlayStation 2s for weapons – blimey, if Saddam can do this, imagine what a 13-year-old geek in a garage could do!

Camelot gets lottery licence – Richard Branson = pregnant chad. Look out for fun times ahead in the courts, kids.

owners of UK-based weblogs may care to take a butcher’s hook at meetlinks – it’s self explanatory.

weekend report: Friday featured beer session in W2, including AW losing her temper. but all sorted now, no harm done. I, of course, was a model of quiet restraint.
Saturday we went shopping in Brighton, including dinner here, which was very lovely. Brighton was heaving, but AW and I managed to get most of our Christmas shopping done. In the evening, we entertained my parents to dinner at AW’s – swordfish steak with rustic tomato sauce. Not bad, even if I say so myself.
Yesterday, AW did school work whilst I did my Christmas cards. Then we went back to mine, and AW cooked a lovely tea. Then we were dull and went to bed early.

Three Millennium cities created – the “City of Brighton and Hove”? The Hove folk won’t stand for that. (For those that do not know, Hove is a small town adjacent to Brighton, and has always lived in the shadow of its much larger neighbour – but Hove people are a proud bunch, and if you say they live in Brighton, they will always reply “Hove, actually”).

Man takes pictures of flooded roads for a hobby – plenty of material around here at the moment.

Hong Kong woman in bid to mend ozone layer – daft enough to be Romanian.

Beer can stave off heart attacks and blindness – hurrah! More beer!

not sure if I should post this….oh whattheheck…AW had a dream last night and woke me up to tell me about it (at 4am or something – thanks). Apparently she was rushing to get to hospital on a bus (obviously *the* most effective way to rush anywhere) and when she got there she (painlessly and quickly) gave birth to what she described as a “perfect baby girl”. I’ll spare you the other details. Apparently I wasn’t there, although her mate Sue (mother of AW’s goddaughter) was.
Now, coming from someone who has, ever since I have known her, professed an utter terror of ever becoming a mother, I find this strange. interpretations welcome.
