Saturday Fun... (gig pimp)
This Saturday, I shall be mostly watching Bomb Culture (old chums from Cardiff) at The Wilmington in Angel - I'll probably aim to get there for 9pm if anyone fancies coming along and joining me in a post-birthday shandy or two...

Work avoidance Meme-age
Fresh from the vaults of Castle tyrell...
The return of the pointless mp3 meme!
Set your mp3 player to random (or turn on the radio). Answer the following questions with a line from the next ten songs that come on. One line per song, each can answer any question, you can skip a song if it doesn’t answer the questions in any way.
1) What would you ( Read more... ) -
Yawn...
And a very merry Wednesday morning to you all (it is Wednesday, isn't it...?)
So, we had a very pleasant Easter weekend at the really rather excellent Hill House, where Duncan provided us with breakfasts of such gargantuan proportions that I am still walking with a slight waddle...

Equinox Goodness
A fabulous Vernal Equinox to one and all: here comes Spring, sap's-a-risin' and green things-a-poking and unfurling (even though it's bastard cold here in London). I'm celebrating, amongst other things, by taking today off work - very pleasant! Tea and toast everyone?
Forsythia getting jiggy in my garden:

Holiday Pics
Hola! Back from a very lazy holiday in sunny (and slightly chavvy) Benidorm, and much needed it was too. Good food, good weather and just me and Katie slobbing around having an unwind. Anyway, many photos here:
**Holiday Pics, holiday pics, ra-ra-ra!**Edit: Damn, I didn't realise that you needed a Google Account just to view these piccies - I' ( Read more... ) -
Too Good To Keep...
Yeah, I know I should be working...but I'm easily distracted, so I present this wee gem from the Fundies Say The Darndest Things Top 100, incontrovertible proof that Creationism is right and that Darwin was a big 'ole Dr Thicky:
"One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, ( Read more... ) -
Gay Bands!
My chum Joel just posted up this beaut of a link to the site of some whack-job (who is a gay man who, through the power of Jeezus, is now an ex-gay....apparently) providing a handy one-glance list for concerned parents, because:
One of the most dangerous ways homosexuality invades family life is through popular music. Parents should keep careful ( Read more... ) -
Router Woes
This a call to the tech-heads on my flist. I have a Belkin G+ MIMO wireless router (F5D9230-4 V3000), which sits between a 2Mb Homechoice ADSL Modem and my PC (wired connection) and laptop (wireless, 802.11g, WPA-PSK). All works fine and dandy at first glance - it was a breeze to set up. However, downloads and video/audio streams frequently ( Read more... ) -
...all the way home?
Quick question... I've never really been into home gaming consoles (well, not since the classic Atari I had as a kid - the hours I spent playing Yar's Revenge, when I should have been up a tree, or apple scrumping or breaking windows or something) but the Nintendo Wii looks like lots of fun, so what I want to know is, do we need to buy one? How ( Read more... ) -
Homophobes Defeated
Well, thank fuck for that, the attempt by the medieval coalition of spiritual knuckle-draggers has failed to derail laws outlawing homophobic discrimination. I particularly enjoyed the irony of fundamentalist Christians protesting about their 'rights' and 'freedom to believe'...! Anyway, even though I find her increasing desperate Labour ( Read more... )
