Travelling Man Wanderers
My network at home has been giving me grief. For some reason it's stopped connecting to the internet, so I have to use a cable directly to the broadband modem. It's infuriating, and means that none of the upstairs rooms have internet access any more.
I had a pleasant morning today up at the downs playing football with

Weekend Travel
Travelling is always such slow sorrow.
I went to Bicester at the weekend, small town just past Oxford. I missed my train by five minutes going (thanks FirstBus), and that meant that the journey there took an extra two hours, and on the way back the trains were suspended, which meant that when I should have made it into Bristol by 2pm, in the end I ( Read more... ) -

Party good, flu bad
Thanks to everyone who made it for the party yesterday, nice to see everyone and hoped everyone enjoyed it as well.

Today however I feel like crap. I think I'm coming down with something horrible and viral. Sadly I've exhausted my sickdays at work.
Damn. -

Halloween
Who's free for a video evening/ Halloween party on 28th October? I was thinking of a couple of decent horror films, maybe some resident evil and general chillin' and messin'. -
Dancing
Went to the blue Mountain last night with Leigh, Sam and a few of Leigh's mates. Had a wicked evening, stayed absolutely sober and danced like some sort of fucked-up monkey.
There were three bands we listened to - a Punjabi bhangra-style affair, a more dub/ african band and finally a francophone west african band. It was really good, and made me ( Read more... ) -
Battlestar Galactica and Pork Pies
Well, it's day 20-odd of my diet, and the full horror is starting to set in. On tuesday I suffered an intense physical craving for a Pork Pie. The look of the crisp crust and the thought of the tender succulent pink pork hidden beneath was almost too much for me as I queued to buy a sandwich for lunch ( Read more... )
