Due to the current election, I've made a new game for myself when driving (or really being driven) around; I play spot-the-election-support-poster. I tend to keep a count and see who is the most visibly supported. Some of it is quite interesting - Wirksworth appears to be Labour (4) with Lib Dem (3) a close second. Duffield, much more Lib Dem (4 ( Read more... )

I found this story particularly amusing. I think its the well thought out, scientific and logical argument that convinces me: If a woman dresses in the slightly bit provocatively, all men anywhere near immediately lose all control and God punishes us all with an earthquake. Works for me.

I've written a text adventure! It was quite a lot of fun to write. I don't think it'll be massively popular, but you can't have everything. Anyway, you can play it at Red Tower: The Quest for the Lost Sheep. You have to find ten of Bo Peep's missing sheep. I have a feeling there's about 10,000 words in it, which is quite scary. Maybe I could ( Read more... )

I had a nightmare about the Krypton Factor last night. I'm not quite sure how that happened, since I've not seen it since I was a child.

Not much other news, except that I actually earnt more than minimum wage last month!

It's sad in that, personally, I don't understand why a straight couple cannot have a civil partnership any more than a why a gay couple can't be married. But it's nice that someone has seen fit to ( Read more... )

I recently added stats and high score gathering to some of my card games on Rosamund's Bower, and I could really do with a bit of help getting some scores on the boards, so it doesn't look quite as empty. So if anyone's got time and inclination, if you could head over there, create an account, log in and then play (and preferably win!) any of the ( Read more... )

I've just realised it's ages since I did a post advertising something I'd done. I mean, a nice useful news post, that's the one. Because my internet empire is gradually expanding - I've got two new websites, Rosamund's Bower, which is a specialist card games site, and Busy Slacker, which is a webcomic, although that's really a friend's (the ( Read more... )
