  • New Weebl …kinda.

    New Weebl …kinda.

  • A rather simplistic view, in

    A rather simplistic view, in my opinion, which takes no notice of changes in culture and society over the last century. Nor does it advance the case for better resourcing of the enforcement of current gun laws. The vast majority of people do not need a gun, and, as was sadly proven last night, you don’t need a gun to kill someone.

  • At the moment, I want

    At the moment, I want one of these, but I get the feeling that it will quickly be superceded by something much smaller and even more portable.

  • Brighton out of the Cup.

    Brighton out of the Cup. Will that let the team concentrate on the league?

  • urf. too much beer always

    urf. too much beer always leads to those need-a-hug feelings.
    Anyway, beer tonight at Nicky’s birthday party (happy birthday!) with Kearn, Paul F, Ted, Dave, Gary, Alex, Helen, Helen and shedloads of other people. Awful karaoke – why is it that alcohol makes people think they can sing?
    too tired to talk more. zzz.

  • I find this site to

    I find this site to be extraordinary. Particularly, I point readers to this post. The author was named Peter, and was conceived just a few months after this man hit the headlines. Is there a link, I wonder?

  • BBC looks at postal snobbery.

    BBC looks at postal snobbery. This is nothing new, but please spare a thought for poor delivery drivers, trying to find an address from misleading or incomplete information. We are forever getting parcels that we send out returned or delivered late because customers have some strange snobbishness about part of their address.

  • Mr Blair seems very proud

    Mr Blair seems very proud of his Middle East peace conference to discuss reforms of the Palestinian Authority, even if it has led to a rift between London and Jerusalem. Whilst any talks must be seen as useful, and the Israeli government is heavy-handed at best, it seems odd that the Israelis were not invited at all, not even to send an observer. Perhaps that is why Mr Sharon doesn’t view the conference as important enough to allow Palestinian delegates to travel and attend.

  • Just what we need on

    Just what we need on a Tuesday morning – a bit of utter silliness, courtesy of the wonder that is Lukelog. Yes, it’s a complete illustrated online catalogue of all the Entrances To Hell (note: capitalized).

    Cobblers is constructed entirely from hardened rubber. Just inside the entrance is a storage area for first aid equipment. Used as the main access to the devil’s observation platforms overlooking the M25 in Hertfordshire, this entrance sees a great deal of use in the winter months and in the build up to Easter. Cobblers ceases to exist for a few minutes every Wednesday morning.

  • Taurus Good will opens doors

    Taurus
    Good will opens doors that you had previously thought shut forever. You feel the need to do something kind for someone who has shown you kindness in the past. Don’t be surprised if your generosity is met with a questioning look from the recipient, Taurus. Tonight, you are just too honest and obvious to be out unsupervised. Feel as fine as you want, but don’t bet your future on a feeling.

    Hmmm. Well, I am going out this evening to Nikki’s party. But I’m not sure about the level of supervision. To be honest, it all sounds rather exciting, but those that know me will know that I have a strange definition of "exciting".
