Update brewing
Gosh, have I really not said anything since the end of the cricket season? Lots of stuff has happened and I'm starting to feel an urge to write it down before I forget it, there might even be photos... -
Sporadic update
Yes, it's been ages again but enough about that ( Read more... ) -
Epic FAIL
PETA forget that doing the teeniest bit of checking once in a while might be a plan.

Shock of the night...
Ok, not said anything in ages. Probably should, but I seem to have got busy doing real life stuff and playing Medieval 2. Anyhow ( Read more... ) -
Soo...
... Newsnight could be interesting tonight (on the chancellor cutting the income tax threshold). I can't help thinking that there's a lot of cash being thrown away here- an extra tenner a month is hardly a life-changing event for people on middle incomes (although nice), and they're borrowing a hell of a lot of cash to fund it.

Photos 'n Stuff
Tonight's Despatches (on beauty creams that claimed to make you look younger) seemed like an exercise in stating the obvious.

On election night we had a party and ( Read more... ) -
Gaah.
Ever since I started the process of buying the flat the news has been babbling about how wrong the housing market is going, topping it off with the news today saying 'The housing ladder is currently a snake, don't touch it with a bargepole'. Bloody typical. On the good side, I got my mortgage offer just before the good deals finished and my ( Read more... ) -
Dang...
Aggers has just announced that was the end of the all-night cricket until next winter- I'm going to miss curling up in bed listening to them burble away, daytime tests just aren't quite the same (people seem to expect me to be doing things). Still, it was a good little series, and hopefully when the Kiwis come our way they'll crowbar Blowers back ( Read more... ) -
Bathtime reading, and other things
After reading the appropriate article in the Sunday Times in the bath, twice, I'm feeling very clever because I think I've worked out what derivatives are and how they work. This is of pretty much zero practical use to me, but will induce a feeling of smugness next time someone on Newsnight says 'they're really complicated ( Read more... )
