Did you think I'd forgotten about you?
I'm fairly sure that I've noted previously that I've drifted away from LiveJournal a little in favour of F*ceb00k. It occurs to me, however, that for actual journal type writing this medium is far superior, plus you don't need to worry so much about annoying 15 year olds messaging you1. I have decided therefore that I would give a brief2 overview ( Read more... ) -
Dating the Jewish way
It has been proposed, largely in order to curtail my incessant whining regarding my current relationship status, that I go speed dating at some point in the immediate future. Naturally before doing such a thing and, more importantly, before writing about it I do some cursory research via the wonder that is wikipedia. It was from this most reliable ( Read more... ) -
Snd me sxc pix, if you don't mind terribly
Ah how long it seems since I've written a post, but it certainly isn't because I haven't been up to anything exciting. Only last week I experienced my first general anaesthetic, which was really quite a jolly experience. Sadly the accompanying sticking needles into my hand and surgery were not quite so enjoyable and so, on balance, I think I shall ( Read more... ) -
Doing your part
Following from the 50% income tax idea for incomes over £150,000 and having recently been watching a fair amount of West Wing I thought I would do a little taxation investigation ( Read more... ) -
BarOb: OMFG!
Just had a quick look at this new-fangled Twitter thing and was slightly taken aback at being told I could follow what Barack Obama is up to. Three thoughts have crossed my mind on this. They are, in order:
- It would be awesome if it was just day to day stuff he was writing about. "These pants are too tight, I'll bet they rip if I do pelvic thrusts ( Read more... )

Doing Scunthorpe the Cambridge way
In a particularly generous and selfless way, my dear Housemate took it upon herself to celebrate her birthday yesterday. It was perhaps not entirely unexpected, what with that actually being her birthday, but still I feel it was a move worthy of mention. Becky1 had rounded up various key players of her other life and attempted to insert them into ( Read more... ) -
He made me a mix tape
I was chatting away to the Lovely Amy when I was reminded of the sorry state that I have never received a mix CD, or its predecessor the mix tape1, as a gift. Of course this situation is likely to have arisen by the general apathy I show towards music and the fact that many of my friends were not significant music fans themselves, or at least not ( Read more... ) -
I fought the law and the law won
Last night I dreamt that hirst and I had been put into a prison. He was very unsympathetic as to my fear of heights. -
A rant disguised as an update
As many of you will be aware, I have recently moved house into a home that I own. I am therefore a home owner. Having been furnished with dire warnings as to the difficulty I would have with the purchasing of a residence, I was moderately unprepared for it to sail through smoothly and without hassle. By contrast the actual furnishing of the home ( Read more... )
