Nippy, innit?
It's starting to warm up a bit round here- something I'm quite grateful for because it might actually be clear enough to cycle to work again soon. They've only cleared some of the footpaths in the very centre of Oxford and I'm getting really tired of sliding my way in exery morning- sideroads are going to be nasty for a while yet but it looks like ( Read more... ) -
Thought for the day
For four centuries Guy Fawkes has been remembered as the country's most infamous traitor, with effigies of him being burnt every year, nursery rhymes reminding everyone how terrible the plot was, etc. Only now he's turning into a bit of folk hero and a symbol of resistance to an oppressive government (helped considerably by a certain film, ( Read more... ) -

I'm not implying that games aren't a valid use of one's time or anything, but there's lots of other stuff I ( Read more... ) -
Cat update
Mistle, one of our cats, eascaped over the 6ft wall surrounding our patio while I was cleaning their litter try earlier. I've just spent the last hour following him though at least four people's back gardens trying to persuade him to come home. Am now slightly grazed, but rather relieved he's back inside nomming his food because I'm not sure how I' ( Read more... ) -
Sporadic Update #something
Firstly, and sadly, Bearders marks his last dot ball and trundles off to the great pavilion(probably in search of a good scone).
Secondly, "We have abolished boom and bust". Riiight ( Read more... ) -
