This is a little message to any bargain hunter Discworld fans.  I'm short of space and money so I've decided to fix both in one go.  I've got quite a few of the old Clarecraft models sat in the loft and various other places, let me know if you're interested and feel free to mention this to any other fans out there.  From my recollection I have the ( Read more... )

It has been pointed out that I have been treating livejournal a little... diffidently.  Admittedly, my last post was so long ago it was to complain about all the Romans that have turned up.  Still, now is not the time for recriminations.  It's probably time for sleep but half an hour ago it was time for Sancerre, so time is fluid.

Anyway, back to ( Read more... )

It's amazing how many people I met today who don't like Valentine's Day. It's odd, I like it even when I don't do anything on it. Let me rephrase that...

It's my birthday soon (made it to 31 without any Logan's Run problems), so I'm organising a birthday party on Sunday 5th June. We're going to get some food and drink in then set up an indoor barbeque at Darren's. You know the stuff, burgers, hot dogs, a couple of snacks. Anyway, if you want to come please let me know. Also, if you know somebody ( Read more... )

There will be much discussion as we bid farewell to the head of the Catholic church. Well, okay, not we so much as they. Anyway, the point is that a new leader shall be chosen. There will be much arguing and politics and deals, all unnecessary. It's very simple...

Just sitting here while the computer does something complicated, I've started to ponder some really rather... eclectic things. If the universe is explanding, how come people still can't walk around tables without banging their leg? When you freeze milk, why does it go yellow? Why is it that once you notice the way somebody's earlobes move when ( Read more... )

In these frugal but... bracing... times, we have to do everything we can to keep warm without using up our rapidly dimishing energy reserves.  We have several methods:

1) Turning up the heat is BAD, adverts say so.  Except the ones from British Gas, but I think they may have an agenda.

2) Wearing more clothes.  This is nice and cheap, but has a ( Read more... )
