Bedknobs and Broom Brooms

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

I’ve spent a lot of money this week. It is because we have purchased our most expensive thing ever. There is currently a Ford Ka outside and we have the keys.
We’ve been talking with a lot of people to decide the kind of car to buy, but I think in the end it came down [...]

“Other Modern Languages”

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

It’s GCSE results day and the BBC have made a bar graph of results for all subjects. What I find very interesting is that you can go through just about every subject in the entire drop down list except music and history and find that the average is a C. On music / history the [...]

Headphones

Monday, August 20th, 2007

My new pair of headphones came today. I bought the Creative Fatal1ty Headset from play.com and they are the comfiest pair of anything that I have had on my head.
It has a detatchable mic so it doesn’t get in the way and the sound is good to boot.
Fantastic product.

Gaming Heaven

Friday, August 17th, 2007

There is a good reason to like the summer holidays, it seems to be when all of the really great games come out.
I still haven’t actually plugged the Wii into the TV since I took it to Lynmouth, but I think I clocked up enough hours there. Now I’m on my PC.

Customer Service (non-passworded version)

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

I went on a customer service course today. However, if you don’t know the password to this blog it’s likely that you’re exactly the colleague or stranger that shouldn’t be reading my rant.

New Forrest and Majorca

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

Amy and I, along with Graham Cronin at work, went out to the New Forrest yesterday (Saturday 11th) to do some filming for a project that Ken Russell is working on at the University. It was a beautiful day again and we even managed to see a couple of deer down at the sanctuary.
On a [...]

It’s Hot

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

Laura, a Spanish lady I work with, would be very happy today. For her ‘too hot’ is around 40 degrees. For me it seems to be any day in Summer where there is no cloud.
What is a shame is that if we were still in Lynmouth right now it would be beautiful. We would probably [...]
