…you gave up all your dreams, along the way.
Wow, it’s been a hectic and bizarre last week or two. As I’m sure most of you will know I’m moving jobs. Basically EvilBoss and me have been “not getting along.” I’d kind of resigned myself to not being able to get on with her after [...]

So, as you guys may of noticed a few months ago Apple released, with as little fanfare as possible, a phone. It was named in the same vein as nearly all their other products. The iPhone.
When it was released many people wrote many, many, many, many reviews of the phone and most level headed people [...]

As I’m sure I’ve mentioned time and time again I’m a huge listener to online streaming radio. I’ve found it offers a better selection and I find I can pick up on new bands / artists upto a year before they become popular over here which is obviously a bonus because it means I can [...]

…’cause then you’ll see my heart in the saddest state it’s ever been
You know when you’re going to have “one of them” days. Firstly I wake up having been in bed for like 12 hours straight or something crazy and hear a faint knocking at the door. I knew Tian had gone out so I [...]

So.. as you’ll see from my gorgeous new Google Calendar applet to the right (how funky is that?!) it’s my stocktake tomorrow so it means an early start and a long day. Not that the past few days have been short.
Well, the boss is off so that obviously means that anything that could go wrong [...]

…and it’s not easy to be me.
So, it’s been one of them days at work when you really wonder why you try. How much would I love to just sack all the staff and start again? Almost 100%. So, apparently, from some ill placed jokes from myself it seems a rumour had spread claiming that [...]

Now I can see why some people sided with the Muslims over this whole row, I did until I read the facts..
But the latest from BBC News just makes me chuckle…

“We have a right to defend our prophet,” one protester told the BBC.
“They should have respected our religion,” said another.

..and from the same article..

A nearby [...]

As reported by every news source the world over (apart from China ;)) there was a cartoon printed last September by a Danish daily paper which depicted Mohammed wearing a bomb for a turban.
Danish muslims were, obviously, outraged and spread the word to others across the world. Eventually, ambassadors from several Islamic countries tried to [...]

My explanations for why I haven’t donated to the Tsunami appeal…

Today’s big no-no..
Wearing “normal” everyday clothes whilst having a huge baby bump on your front. They do make maternity clothes, y’know?
I know the picture to the right isn’t so great but I really didn’t feel like taking a picture of a random belly bulging member of the public and putting them on here, libel and [...]

Me and Charlotte have just returned from staying with Crishna and in London for a sorta-long weekend.
On the way down we travelled down on a cramped Turbostar with a man who was playing dance music through his headphones as if they were a public address system. He was hard looking so I didn’t say anything [...]

I appologise for the language in this post, but I’m slightly peeved off.
So, no I didn’t get a speeding fine for the one I thought I’d get in the previous entry. No, I have one for a completely different place. Same bastard van. Parked on Swiney Way, which is a 30mph road which runs past [...]

Where to start with this rant?
Possibly by just saying what it is? Yeh, that’ll do. I’m absolutely fed-up with the way that the media (TV and film mainly) that tell us that being popular is all that we should look for in life. If we’re not popular we wont be happy.
People who aren’t popular and [...]

My sister has returned back to home after having a fall out with her finacé. I love my sister and all but it’s really put a strain on our house. She’s very stubborn and selfish in that she’s kicked parents out of their room so she can have the double room and no doubt we’ll [...]

This is a rant, mainly, all about ntl: so bear with me or just dodge this article if you’ve no idea what they are or if you’ve no interest what-so-ever in them.
ntl: supply me with telephone, cable television and broadband internet access. We were previously with Diamon Cable here in Leicester before ntl: took them [...]

Here’s a quick one before I head off to a Systems + Database Analysis lecture. Sounds fun, doesn’t it? .
Right, walking to the library from another building I had four different people try to give me leaflets advertising clubs, drinks etc.
WHY!?!
a) it pisses me off that I have to keep my hands in my pockets [...]
