Just as so many people observe Guy Fawkes' attempt to blow up the Houses Of Parliament (05/11), here's hoping everyone remembers the two minutes silence on Thursday for those that died in the wars all those years ago (11/11). I will also be observing the two minutes silence that should happen on Tuesday for those that tragically died in the Twin ( Read more... )

Has anyone else experienced problems logging into their Hotmail account within the last 24 hours? Kel can get in with no problem but mine just refuses to go through. It takes ages trying to log in and then just hangs with a "Cannot Find Server" page. Weird. I hope it isn't just me as I'm expecting some emails in that account. :S

As big fans of Ben Folds Five, Kel and I have just purchased the debut album by Hotel Lights, the new band set up by ex-drummer Darren Jessee. He takes lead vocals within his new venture and they sound really good. We purchased it from CDBaby (after listening to the downloads) for the bargain price of $19.97 and the shopping experience you get ( Read more... )

I still can't understand the furore behind the US election in this country! The news on the radio this morning was nothing but Bush vs Kerry. I mean, when I wake up in the morning, I want to know what's going on in this country, not over there! We're not living in America! Can you really see Americans waking up to news of our election?! It's ( Read more... )

Time and time again it happens and time and time again, I find myself cursing. Before I say anything, I want to make it clear that I don't intend to offend anyone by the views that follow. I am stating exactly what I have experienced with my own two eyes and so as a result should be treated as fact and not as an opinion ( Read more... )

I'm sick and tired of reading endless posts about the US election from a UK point of view. I'm not saying that we should be ignorant but as we don't live in America, we are in no real position to have a justified opinion on the Kerry vs Bush debate. If there are any Americans reading this, all I will say is make sure that you cast your vote but ( Read more... )

After a horrendous start to the new season, the Wolves board have finally seen sense and sacked Dave Jones.

More information hereThere's only so many times we can hear his feeble whining of "There are many other managers in the same position as me". Yes, Dave, there are many other managers in the same position as you but they haven't just come ( Read more... )

Some things I read in today's papers that amused me:

A Vulcan aircraft has gone on sale on Ebay with a minimum bid of only £6000. It is taking up valuable space at Blackpool Airport but the owner of the Blackpool Air Centre has said that "whoever gets it will have to come up here and cart it away as it's certainly not flyable." The item can be ( Read more... )

Everyone knows I love the North so it seems rather apt that it seems the place to be this Christmas is Manchester.

The huge ferris wheel that was in Birmingham last year (far superior to the one in place this year) is now the Wheel Of Manchester and the pantomime is Dick Whittington starring the Chuckle Brothers for me and Jeffrey Holland for the ( Read more... )

Isn't it nice to read something that's so meaningful yet so unexpected at the time you read it. A moment of quality on a pretty bland day from a comedic namesake ( Read more... )
