  • My second joke the on @boagworld podcast :-) And, I'm not bloody northern! #
  • My front door to the Oval via car, train and tube – 45 minutes. Not bad. #
  • Listened-in on some lads down from 'up north' for their first day in the Army. All calling their mum's and chatting. They were so 'young'. #
  • You know what, after all these years I still enjoyed "Rocky". #
  • One hour ten minutes for a quarter of a mile round-trip (abandoned station run). Saw two accidents and a skid. #
  • Looks like four inches already, and still falling – can't see any Tarmac out there. #
  • I'm considering never responding to leads who use a hotmail address. #
  • Aargh! More bloody snow. Here we go again. #

  • Wow! – Frozen Britain seen from above http://bit.ly/4T3Mwn #

  • Snowed in. Power-cuts. Time to stock-up with Spam and powdered eggs. #
  • Just dated my first cheque '2010' – The new year has officially started. #
  • I don't fancy Phil's chances for a sympathy when he gets home today. #
  • If I needed to 'phone a friend' due to a difficult bird-related question. I now know to call Corin Page. Twitch. #
  • Argh. I must learn to spell this year. #
  • So, THIS is 2010. Hovercars? Domestic robots? Living in a dome? Oh well, there's allways Dr Who. #
  • Off to play Wii. Hope that Ant & Dec don't hog the controller all night. #
  • Just thaught I'd get in before Twitter crashes and the mobile networks get overloaded. Happy New Year! #
  • If you have an iPhone or iPod touch download Apple's "12 Days" app – you get a free app for every day of Christmas. Cool. #
  • Best meal of Christmas; Leftovers. Fact. #
  • "Sherlock Holmes" scores a one on the binary review scale against all expectations. #
  • Setting the table now to "Dark Star". you can't help but do things in a very 'mysterious' and deliberate fashion. Place, a, fork.. #

  • If you have any idea what Apache, MySQL, PHP and Zend Optimizer are then you might be able to guess the kind of horror I have faced today. #
  • 'Cheese dreams' experiment inconclusive. Cheddar = dreams, mozzerella = dreams, control (no cheese) = dreams. I need more funding. #
  • Woking away to the MOS 80's Anthems Album and loving it! Seriously, it's as if the last thirty years never happened. Here's Scritti Politti. #
  • Blimey. I had the most convolouted dream ever. And, I can confirm that I did eat some cheese before bed. I will run a control tonight. #
  • David Attenborough joins my list of TV heros: Carl Sagan, Tony Hart, Johnny Ball, Patrick Moore and that bloke who did 'Connections'. #
