No, no. It's not about me...it's about YOU. I write this stuff for fun, and largely to provide a source of information about certain games (TF2, The Sims 3) directly from a user point of view. I can answer questions about gaming stuff. Just leave me a comment. Other than that, my main addiction is Law and Order and finally getting round to doing my Bachelor of Laws. And so that you're not disappointed, the social networking links on the left don't work. I don't use those. Read more about me »
A lot can happen in a week. It has looked as though I have been cheerily posting with my stuff about The Sims 3, bitching about a job that I NO LONGER HAVE, and perhaps the most important post of the week, my musings on a house move. However, I have not. They were scheduled [...]
I’ve alluded to the fact that later this year I will be leaving my job. However, I haven’t said why. I shall begin. The Boss got a job elsewhere, and we’re moving to another part of the country. Now, I say that to be vague because I don’t want to give it away – this [...]
Part of me wishes that I was joking about that. We had an unexpected visitor this weekend. Early on Saturday morning I heard what sounded like a bird stuck in the chimney. The squarking was loud, and sometimes there was flapping. I wasn’t entirely sure if it was in the chimney or not, as they [...]
And I often wonder where the fat balls go. I guess this explains a lot. These guys are huge, and this area is inhabited by, I believe, thousands of them.
For that part of AA100 that I’m currently working on (or rather just finished), I’ve had to listen to a CD full of classical music. I’m not adverse to listening to Classical Music – I used to play a lot of it after all. The part of AA100 that is about Shostakovich has mostly passed [...]
You see, I don’t complain about the place we live in so much anymore. Before the reincarnation of this blog I used to complain at length about the last place we lived in. In truth, it was pretty nasty and so much had to be done to it. Upon moving into a house, we thought [...]
Click the image for larger. Yeah – this is for real. You see two lights there? Well, when we turn it on, we see three. Yep, that’s right: three. The Red Ring Of Death. Arse cunting bollocks. No more Lego games until it returns from Microsoft. Arse. It’s just really annoying. If it’s anything like [...]
1) Why is it that you do something for someone, and they don’t appreciate it? Oh yeah, that’s right, you can’t do anything right for anyone anymore, can you? And of course, the rest of the freaking world is too selfish to realise that you have actually done something for them. That includes a lot [...]
So for a while now you’ve been coveting an ND8, or rather Neutral Density Filter. It’s Monday, it’s June, you come home from work, you find the filter on your door mat. Wonderous. What is the natural course of events now? Sure, you want to take it outside and give it a try…Good on you. [...]
I’m still in a little bit of a “Huh? You mean to tell me it’s all over?” mood. And now I find it strange not to be doing anything in the afternoons, even a little disconcerting. I know that the OU have received the essay, which is good. But it is still a serious question…what [...]
