Yes I bought I an iPad inspite of my stated I don't like iTunes opinion. Yes it's very good. I play way too much Angry Birds in space! I also upgraded my phone to an andriod one, galaxy s2, to balance things out. Oh yes and I have Angry birds on it too! Do I have a problem?

Well we have made it to 2012 hopefully not like me with a terrible hangover ( Read more... )

I seen a few programs in the last week about the financial crisis and I don't think I should watch any more! A series of woeful tails of recklessness, lack of regulation and greed. I can't help wondering why the people responsible haven't been brought to book, fined, sent to jail, rather than the odd reluctant sorry! The answer is there all in it ( Read more... )

Just over five weeks ago Dorothy and myself became grandparents! Amy had a baby girl which arrived 9 weeks early. Spent the first 4 weeks in hospital but now doing fine at home with Amy and Dan. Their place not ours! We need our sleep! They have been over a few times and she still looks very small, drowning in the car seat but sweet with it ( Read more... )

Got myself on the BT fibre to Home trial! Had it for a week now and my god its fast. All those things I couldn't do before, I now can, like watching streaming video in any def without the swirly circle thing! Download programs from iplayer in no time. Result! There is no going back.

We spent a week in Cornwall in a cottage with the Dogs, had a great time, they loved the beach, when we found one they were allowed on. It was the first time we had let them off the lead. They were much better behaved than I expected, not running off to far or anything. Otherwise there is plenty of scenery to see and single track roads to drive ( Read more... )

I decided to check my old tickets to see exactly how many times we have seen Rush.

1988 Hold Your Fire NEC
1992 Roll The Bones NEC & Sheffield Arena
2004 R30 NEC
2007 Snakes & Arrows NEC
2011 Time Machine NEC

I did notice that a ticket only cost £10 in 1988, £14 in 1992

I ordered myself a laptop today! Finally decided that is the best option for me after months and months of deliberation and nearly buying a new desk top last year. Since the Puppies have arrived a desk top has become a lot less practical as I can't use it and keep an eye what there doing. Also Dorothy bought a new one few weeks ago as her old XP ( Read more... )

A couple of weeks ago we went skiing in Cervinia Italy. It was excellent. Snowed nearly everyday we were there, so skiing great, lots of runs, some of which are quite long. We didn't manage ski every run so we might go back. Food was great, didn't have a bad meal anywhere, on the mountain or in town ( Read more... )

I haven been on Holiday for nearly two weeks now and I think I picked a good time, what with the weather! So no driving to work which ain't no fun here in such weather. So managed to do some jobs around the house and played on my PS3 ( Read more... )
