Random Image

24 January, 2008 (12:36) | Personal, random | No comments

Following on my theme of randomness, I came across this image in my temporary files and felt the need to share.  I have always been a great fan of MC Hammer (who’s blogging now, by the way) and I still have a tape of one of his albums  My favourite Firefox useless extension is [...]

54 - 13

14 January, 2008 (22:51) | Fun, Mhairi, Personal | No comments

Okay, so I may not be quite right on the scoreline but I’m not far off.  In the world-famous game of Helensburgh Longball, my team (Sean, David, Toby and I) utterly squashed Mhairi’s team.  I will admit that the vast majority of the score is down to the others on my team, but that [...]

Audio Books - from where?

31 August, 2007 (15:13) | Internet, Personal | No comments

My family was always about words and stories. I remember from a very early age having story tapes with songs and books to read along. The first “grown up” audiobook i remember hearing was Trial Run by one of my favourite authors, Dick Francis (maybe one of the reasons I like him [...]

won’t let the sun go down on me

9 July, 2007 (14:36) | Nostalgia, Personal | No comments

It’s strange the things that stick in your memory. We used to have our holidays up in St Andrews while my parents helped out with the Scripture Union beach mission up there. I vividly remember when I was about 7 years old hearing Nik Kershaw sing “I Won’t Let the Sun Go [...]

People who work on something for hours in a program which is likely to crash, don’t save their work and then complain about it when they lose everything.
Use “File”>”Save As…”, use it often.

What’s your earliest Doctor Who memory?

15 June, 2007 (10:38) | Personal, scifi | No comments

I’ve been a big fan of Doctor Who for as long as i can remember. It’s part of my DNA as a British sci-fi fan. I was watchiung the Doctor Who Confidential episode after the most recent episode (a barnstormer by the way, where the Doctor barely appears) and they were [...]

I Walk the Line

13 June, 2007 (22:33) | Personal, Superpowers | No comments

On the way back from a meeting tonight I walked along a wall beside the Main road. I’m not saying it was high up or anything - only about a foot off the ground, but it’s a long time since I walked along a wall like that - a situation not made any [...]

Photos from my recent trip to Moffat

13 June, 2007 (11:04) | Personal | No comments

I’ve taken to driving to visit my Mum in Moffat via the motorway. It’s faster and easier (especially at night) but it lacks some of the winding majesty of the A701 road to Moffat.

okay, now I’m angry

6 May, 2007 (16:03) | Internet, Personal | No comments

okay, so maybe not angry yet, but annoyed enough.
I’ve been a Telewest subscriber since I moved into my home, and we had it when I was at home. I was happy with the Broadband options and the TV package, but recently I’ve been more and more irritated.
Ever since Virgin Media took over the [...]
