The sound of silence

Tuesday, August 31st, 2004

I always forget I live in the country. Tonight I went out for a walk as I had a bit of a headache and in the three quarters of an hour I was walking I saw one person and two cars drove by. Other than that it was completely silent.

Not a great start to the day

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to explain the circumstances leading up to my alleged offence. This was the second time I had ever driven into Central London and the first time I had done so alone. I had taken a wrong turning earlier which lead me to be on Farringdon Street. I was […]

I’ve been working on this over the last two nights and I thought I’d share it with you. I’m trying to make an effort to draw and be creative more often so comments and criticism are welcome.

Poison Warning? I think not.

This is definitely a contender for the wierdest email I’ve ever received.

Fragfest ‘04

Friday, August 20th, 2004

Two desktop PCs, four laptops, three OS’s, One Game. On Thursday “the boys” came over and we had a bit of hot hot LAN action. Will, Chris, Rob, Tone, Brick and me spent the evening playing Unreal Tournament. Considering all the machines except one were connected wirelessly it was suprisingly smooth. Rob brought […]

Well done Ch4

Wednesday, August 18th, 2004

I feel I must congratulate channel four for a responsible and non-sensationalist look at gynecomastia. “Boys with Breasts” was an honest look at something that is a huge problem for a lot of men. It was educational and has made me promise myself that I will loose weight. The stories of some […]

Moblog, No Blog.

Tuesday, August 17th, 2004

The more observant of you may have noticed that the Moblog has ceased to be. This is hopefully not a permanent change but it seemed sensible to put it on hold for now. The site I use to transfer pictures here doesn’t seem to be working properly for me at the moment […]

Birth of a Demon.

Tuesday, August 17th, 2004

I spent a *considerable* amount of time yesterday removing the Escort badge and all traces of the glue holding it. Then today I washed the car, stuck on the new badge (a rearranged Mondeo badge), then I had planned to T-Cut and wax the whole car but unfortunately, soon after sticking on the badge […]

Man Vs Spider

Tuesday, August 17th, 2004

It was a feirce battle but in the end I reigned supreme, this time.

EDIT: I have emailed this pic to a spider website to find out what it was as I’ve never seen a spider that big before it was about two and a half inches long. If you know what it is please […]

Driving Music

Monday, August 9th, 2004

I drove to work for the first time on Sunday. Seeing as I said I would never drive in London it was quite a big deal for me. It was no where near as bad as I thought it would be so I will be driving in on Sundays in future. On […]
