How annoying are Talk Talk sales calls
Monday, 20 March 2006
What a load of b*llox and pain in the a*se those constant phone calls from Talk Talk sales reps trying to get me to move across to their service. Seeing as I am already a Tele2 customer, and Talk Talk have acquired Tele2 in the UK, means I am going to get billed from them very shortly anyway.

If I get any more of these calls I am going to switch, and give them a mouthful of Tourettes at the same time.

More of that please.
 
Visit to Rome
Saturday, 11 March 2006
St Peters
St Peters
Got back from a fantastic week long break in Rome, doing karate, drinking, eating and sightseeing.

A big thank you to Fernando and Meg for their more than generous hospitality, wine and food. Highlights were visiting the historic centre, drinking expensive Guiness and perfect Spaghetti Carbonara (not the UK creamy mulsh).

Want to know the spread of your surname?
Tuesday, 07 February 2006
There is this web site: http://cetl2.geog.ucl.ac.uk/uclnames/Surnames.aspx which lets you search on a surname, and then it gives a UK map showing the spread of population with that name across the UK.

They seemed to have swapped the census dates on the results page though.

Happy Chinese Hogmanay and that pal
Sunday, 29 January 2006
All you need to do is to whack up a giant stir fry and sprinkle on peanuts and Jim Beam whiskey for the perfect Chinese Mahogany New Year of the Dog. If you can and have the time, then down several pints of Guiness and shinnee up some drain pipe at the university student digs at Northfields. Hey, that's what it's all aboot.
 
Can't get up early in the morning
Wednesday, 18 January 2006
I am SO not an early riser. A quick search on Google brings up this page: Steve Pavlina, How to become an early riser. Innuendoes aside, this might be of interest. I might give his recommedations a try and see how I get on.

Xmas meal at Bar Casa, 2005

Bar Casa
R-Aston
Photos from the gathering at Bar Casa
.

My steak was nice but Angela's duck breast turned out to be more like a rugby ball. Having said that they do put on a good spread for the money, even throwing in loads of party extras like cameras, balloons, poppers (of the party type and not the sniffing variety) and hats!
 
Magic Roundabouts that pump water
Saturday, 10 December 2005
Whilst listening to Jonathon Ross's Radio 2 show on Saturday, they talked about a project that installs roundabouts for children to play on in Africa. The magic part of it is that it also acts as a pump that is extracting water from wells below. Very ingenious use of low technology and human effort.

You can see more about the project's work in Africa here: Roundabout, The Playpump.

You can also donate, but there is no need to dig any extra into your pocket as if you want a bottle of water, you can simply purchase the ONE brand. All profits go to fund the project. Click for more information on ONE Water.
 
e-mango Xmas do, 2005
Sunday, 04 December 2005
James
We shrunk the James
A night of revellery was had by all. In other words, everyone got wasted, apart from those driving.

Click for Photo's of Gild House Xmas party. The food at Bistro on the Beach was excellent as usual. The entertainment was fun, although spoilt by some shoddy break dancing!

Did not manage to leave the flat the next day as I was trying to gently recover. Too much champagne, red wine, white wine, beer and Japanese green tea.

If you missed all the Fong related dancing shenannigans you can see it here: Gordon Fong makes arse of himself, but doesn't really care is it only happens once a year at Xmas and everyone expects it. The world needs a Chinese David Brent.
