Everyone on the bus yesterday was treated to the sound of two brothers (I'm guessing 2 and 4 years old) singing 'The wheels on the bus' at the top of their voices. Every few lines they'd stop to argue which verse came next, which was very amusing - everyone on the bus was trying not to grin. After they'd finished the 4-year-old looked up at mum and ( Read more... )

I was looking forward to a nice long relaxing weekend off work....but disaster struck. I got up on saturday morning, flicked on my comp, and sat down to play Sacred with my tea and toast. So I waited for Windows to start..... and waited.... and waited. Everntually I had to switch it off and try safemode, which worked, but we couldn't find out what ( Read more... )

Every day as I walk to the bus stop I pretty much have to play hop-scotch down the pavement to avoid the multiple piles of dog turds that litter the street. Dogs aren't dirty generally, but their owners don't clean up after their pets. I know I wouldn't want to do it, so I know I'd be a terrible dog owner....which is why I have cats (amongst other ( Read more... )

It's great watching this kind of thing with inncubus as he has very different opinions to myself on the culture that was ( Read more... )

I misheard inncubus a couple of seconds ago - I thought he said "It's D&D Art" rather than "It's D&D LARP" while watching a Utube vid. Obviously I was a little confused as it was a film rather than a picture, but strangely I accepted it without question - bloody art degrees, they make you accept the surreal too easily. I wonder what a D&D art film would be ( Read more... )

I lost my switch card, and I'm pretty sure it's in the mess I call home or the car. I looked for ages but couldn't find it, thus I cancelled it and got a new switch card ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY inncubus!

Here's to another 30 years on chaos and mayhem.

This is a big post, thus I have hidden it behind a cut. Some of you might find it quite interesting, particularly athnor. Overall it is an article from the guardian speaking about a pagan movement demanding the bones of their ancestors....i.e. anything pre-Christian.... to be returned to them from the museums. They argue that the bones are not things to ( Read more... )
