Porn videos to blame for male impotency – and it’s nothing to do with rampant Romanian pollution, obviously.

Suicide man took no chances – you can’t be too sure with these things.

Subbuteo streakers ‘a bit of fun’ – shopkeeper

Man to do time for shooting alarm clock – which is pretty much how I felt this morning.

Robyn asked me not to link to her new project unless/until I thought the content merited a link.
I have passed judgment: judge for yourself

Vaughan tells an interesting story.

a week in Derbyshire in summary:
– it was actually Staffordshire
– it snowed
– there was a power failure on New Year’s Eve – for 20 hours.
– we drank a lot – I mean gallons!
– we ate even more
– there was a blizzard
– there was walking
– silly games were played (Jenga by candlelight should be an Olympic sport)
– surprisingly few arguments took place
all in all, a good time was had. there is talk of planning another group holiday, although my finances, liver and waistline would all really appreciate it if that wasn’t for some considerable time.
photos may get posted here if I get the inclination.

[blows dust off blog]
hi honey, I’m hoooome!

yes, I am back from my wanderings in Derbyshire, and am currently sorting out my e-mail. A full and in-depth update will be posted tomorrow when I am on my PC at work and not this thing (which was built before the term “mega” was added to “hertz” to describe processor speeds). I also need to do a few revisions to the blog layout, particularly to the list of favourite blogs. so check back tomorrow, ok?

further update:
– have bags packed (almost) ready for Derbyshire. road conditions improved slightly on yesterday, although very icy, so potential for thrills and spills on journey. anticipating arguments ahead based on: food; drink; navigation; activities; music; noise. hmm. all good fun.
– have chosen five CDs for trip (limit imposed by Andrea):
1. Gilles Peterson and Norman Jay: Desert Island Mix Journeys by DJ
2. Hed Kandi compilation: Winter Chill
3. Bowery Electric: Lushlife
4. Man or Astroman?: Made from Technetium
5. Morcheeba: Big Calm
…let’s see how many arguments they cause (esp. number 3).

very brief update:
1. gifts received for Christmas:
– money
– lovely bath robe (from AW)
– MVC vouchers
– books
– CDs
– clothing
– the inevitable chocolate
– wine
– the love of a good woman
– and much much more. Christmas was great.
2. weather report:
– SNOW! blimey. and it looks like our trip to Derbyshire on Saturday will be thrill-packed too.
3. shopping report:
– checked out the Oracle shopping centre in Reading yesterday and purchased warm clothing for the impending Derbyshire trip. not bad, although a bit of a trek from here.
– shopped in Chichester today and purchased more warm clothing in view of white stuff on the ground.
4. other news:
– nothing that major. David was over from America with his new girly Andi (short for Susan – don’t ask). good to see him again.
– getting ready for Derbyshire trip. stockpiling beer and wine in readiness for many nights in.
5. blog status:
– updates likely to be infrequent if not non-existent until 7th January. but watch this space – will try my best.
6. new year status:
– have a good un.
