ICE - In case of emergency
Wednesday, 27 July 2005
I have checked this out and it is not an internet hoax like many other stuff like it. Don't believe the rubbish about it being a virus neither.

The East Anglian Ambulance service started of an idea about entering a specific phonebook entry into your mobile phone and calling it ICE (In case of emergency) and using a number for your next of kin or someone you would like contacting first should anything happen.

ICE - Mobile Phone Entry

Seems like a good idea to me. Especially given the times we are in.

The only pain I found is that if the ICE number is the same as another phonebook entry, the phone may just end up displaying that number instead of the usual expected name. So what I did was just to put (ICE) after the name and just have the one number saved.

Sushi and champagne
Sunday, 24 July 2005
The newly weds Emma and Stuart Kohring were down over the weekend so it was champagne all round.

We went to Funki Sushi for dinner and it was really good. We had the sushi platter which was top notch. I also ordered the seared steak sashimi. This time round it wasn't as good. Seemed to have got seared a bit too much and was not as rare as it probably should.
 
Angela gets her new car
Tuesday, 12 July 2005
Courtesy of Vic Young car sales in South Shields, Angela gets her new (well used) Nissan Almera. Ahh, that lovely air con to keep cool in this hot steamy British summer!

Now I don't need to catch the bus and walk up Poole Hill getting all sweaty on the way to work!

Live8
Sunday, 03 July 2005
Having the benefit of Freeview, I flicked around the other events, instead of just watching the main Hyde Park concert. Initially the Eden Project event looked very bare as the crowd at the front wasn't more than about 10 deep in the afternoon. By the night it was much more packed.

There was an excellent band from Senegal called Daara J doing African Hip Hop that got the crowd bouncing and joining in, probably more so than in London. The BBC have a page on the band as well.

Wrasse Records always seem to have a great list of artists on its books.

Funniest moment was watching Snoop Dogg shouting out "Make some mother f*cking noise!" then the camera pans to a 6 year old girl on her dads shoulders waving her hands up in the air.

Saw Coldplay at Crystal Palace
Tuesday, 28 June 2005
Got back about 3am this morning after watching Coldplay at Crystal Palace stadium last night. It was excellent.

Top tip for people who want to go to concerts at Crystal Palace: you don't even have to buy a ticket, just turn up, sit on the grassy hills around and you'll get to hear all the concert and in a few places you can even get a birds eye view of the whole stage and inside the stadium. They even put on toilets and food stalls for people outside the stadium!
