you know I said

2006-01-22T12:04:00.000Z

normal service will resume today, well I lied, I have chicken Pox so no blog today( well apart from this bit)

Today I am quite cross

2006-01-21T18:43:00.000Z

This may be a slightly controversial blog, a few bits of news have made my cross today and yesterday.

The fuss the British public have made about a monkey coat and a whale are frankly unbelievable. Now don't get me wrong using fur in this day and age is terrible and It is sad about the whale, but the news this has generated is massive, I imagine a lot of people who are worried about both items were probably discussing it over a Corporate Death Burger or other food that has been factory farmed, I am not tarring everyone with the same brush I just thing we need some prospective on stuff. I mean tonight the lead item on the evening news tonight was about the whale, tucked quietly behind the main piece was this article about the fact the police have DNA records of 24,000 10 - 18 year olds, despite them never having been cautioned, charged or convicted of an offence.

Yeah, yeah I know if you have nothing to hide you have got nothing to fear.

No tip tonight I am too cross, normal service will resume Sunday

BTW for the record I have been a veggie for about 10 years.

All the time you hear on TV press the red button for interactive TV, well ever time I press the red button and my TV turns off.

Nothing else to say,I am sure someone will mention the Whale in the Thames or the sad news about soul legend Wilson Picketts death. so I will leave you with:-

i have been looking back over some of my posts and realized that my spelling and grammar is terrible , I do have a bit of an excuse for this, I have NF1 one the symptoms of which is mild dyslexia/dispraxiya( dyslexia, bloody bone idle more like :-) )

Anyway spell checkers sort out the spelling but not the grammar, It can't sort out when I miss words out either, so thanks for struggling through my blogs.

Dan's Eco Tip/Fact/comment of the Day

If every household in the UK swapped a normal bulb with an energy efficient bulb we could close a power station.
They also last 10 -12 times longer than normal ones, you can save up to £57 over the lifetime of the bulb

Do'h I loose

The Game

Just a quick afternoon update to say I lost The Game

More later
(although I forgot my notebook so I am not sure how much more)

Well I was going to..

2006-01-16T21:09:00.000Z

write about cats tonight but I see Fox has been and bloody nicked my idea......sorry only joking, in fact I was going to write about the fact that during the day I often think of something interesting ( no, honestly i do) I say to myself that would be good in the blog latter. So I get Will to bed, get a glass of wine or sometimes whisky or vodka or very occasionally something more herbal ( I have to go in the garage for this but I have a Wi-Fi connection so thats book*) sorry where was I , ahh yeah I sit down at the Mac with what ever relaxant I am partaking of and can I remember what I was think would make a good blog, can I feck.

*Book is what I believe the "Hip Kids" are saying instead of Cool these days, this comes from the fact that if you type cool in a phone with t9 (predictive text) the first word that comes up is book.

Also I have noticed that it is the fashion to have a regular bit at the bottom of your blog, though for the day, whatever.

Mine is going to be eco tip/comment/fact of the day, I will keep this going until I run out of tips/comments/fact( or get bored)

...of it Rick, we sow the seed, nature grows the seed and we eat the seed.
In a move the will no doubt cause the The Prof a great deal of amusement, we have got ourselves an allotment

My Shed

Sarah, Will and the wilderness

Lots of digging to do

We have been thinking about growing a few veg for a while, the original plan was to plant a few in the garden. Then a few days ago my cousin, Craig told me that they had just got an allotment. Turns out there was a spare plot on the same site and it only costs £20 a year so we thought why not, better than digging grass up from our back garden.

I know not the first thing about gardening, so I got myself a book and have looked up stuff on the net.

Not sure how long it will last, if I will ever get a veg grown but I will of course post update on this very site.

A quick mini blog

Am I a Blogger now

2006-01-13T20:30:00.000Z

I have only been blogging for a little while but feel I have "made' it due to the fact I an on the Blog list of the one known as FoX.

Nanny Gina ( my Mum) has little Will tonight, the first night he has stayed away from home. I have not been sleeping very well because Will has been a bit ill( Chickenpox, cold and cough) and has not been sleeping through the night. Lydia is asleep some I am "Kicking Back" with a nice glass of red.( Sarah can't drink at the moment due to the fact she is still breast-feeding Lydia )

Right thats it the wine is calling........

Before I answer the call of the Cab Sauv just a quick update on crushmy307.co.uk over 7,000 hits in a week.

Oh I give in

2006-01-12T21:17:00.000Z

Seeing as nearly everyone in the uk seems to be talking about i have a something to say about Big Brother ( I don't actively watch it but Sarah does so I do by default).

Any word is that Sir Jimmy Savile is going into the house for the weekend.

I have today, been trying to sort the online shop for the Grip On website, it is not live yet, I think it will take about another few days and then a few more days to sort the payment gateway out.

Geeks R Us

2006-01-10T23:23:00.000Z

Today was the Key Note Speech at Mac expo by Apple Head Honcho Steve Jobs. I have been looking forward to this for days ( what a geek).

Big news was a dual core Intel latop, which is 4 times faster than current Powerbooks, brighter screen, built-in iSight, front row and other things.

My Powerbook is only a year old so good enough for me but by the time I am looking to replace mine, these new babies will be cheaper than the rather steep ( even for Apple) price than they are now.

Loads of other bits launched too, including some nice bloging capabilities in iLife 06

Opps nearly forgot I promised a friend I would do my bit in spreading the word on his new site so

Four cyclists killed in car crash

2006-01-08T19:05:00.000Z

Four cyclists killed in car crash

Sorry to have such sad news in my blog but what with recent talk on the blog "circle" about cycling I thought it was poignant.

Although it seems neither the driver or riders were at fault it serves as a reminder for the cyclists amongst us to to take care when out on the road.

I've had a lovely time.....

2006-01-07T21:09:00.000Z

Just been watching "Who wants to be a Millionaire" ( check the link if you don't know the format) anyway I decided that if I ever got on it, which to be fair is unlikely as I have never entered, I would answer the first question, then say

"I have had a lovely day Chris I think I will leave it there"

You live and learn

Today I was buttering some bread to have with my dinner and I discovered two things.

1. There was no knife washed up and being a lazy git I could not be bothered to wash a knife up so I used the back of a teaspoon. It worked better than a knife, much smoother and none of the ripping of the bread that can sometimes happen with a knife.

2. I thought I would have a cracker to keep me going until dinner, as I already had the bread on the plate, I put the cracker on top of the pile of bread to butter it. Normally I have big problems with crackers breaking whilst applying butter but no breakage occurs when the cracker is cushioned by the bread underneath.

Bum Note

2006-01-04T22:28:00.000Z

I don't know if the Andrex toilet roll brand is worldwide or not, so if you are not aware of the brand, for as long as I can remember they have used a little puppy ( the ones they use for guide dogs) in all their adverts and on the packing. Today whilst in the smallest room I noticed that the said puppies are embossed on the roll itself. Now is it just me or is that a bit wrong, wiping your bum on a puppy?

In other news Will is still a bit rough with Chicken Pox, poor boy is really struggling to sleep at night, and as such I am currently using matchsticks to keep my eyes open. The joys of parenthood and do you know I would not change it for anything.

So far Lydia is clear of the spots but I doubt she will be for long.

A change is as good as a rest

2006-01-03T23:40:00.000Z

or something like that anyway.

Just a quick blog to state the obvious and tell you a changed my template today, the main reason was my last template went a bit wonky, so instead of trying to fix it I changed the template.

Thats it

As you were.

Great start to the New Year, little Will has Chicken Pox, I blame cousin Ted ;-), He does not seem to bothered by it at the moment , so hopefully it will stay that way. It might explain why he has been such a pain in the arse about going to bed the last few days, he has been ok so far tonight though, yay for Calpol.

Went to see West Brom Vs Villa today, used my Father -in-Laws season ticket, because he could not make it. West Brom lost 1-2 and played poorly, I have come to the conclusion I am a jinx at football games, I can't remember the last game I saw when the team I was there to see won.

Ooh I nearly forgot, for Xmas some friends, The Prof & Tree, bought me a huge part popper thing, when I say huge I mean about 1 metre in hight and the diameter of the inside of a loo roll, I let it off in the front garden, not expecting it to be much cop, however it fired what looked like 1/2 a ton of coloured tissue paper squares about 10 metres in the air. The resulting fallout out covered mine and two neighbours front gardens. Cue me borrowing a garden vac and spending 1/2 an hour cleaning up, mind you 15 minutes of that was due to me discovering the garden van had a blow setting and me using to keep a plastic football airbourne.

Happy New Year

2006-01-01T21:01:00.000Z

Happy New Year, another celebration nicked from Pagans, although most Pagans celebrate this holiday at what we now as Halloween. Pagans call it Samhain, pronounced “sow-inn” or “sow-een”, is Scots Gaelic for “summer’s end.”

Some old Celtic traditions don’t celebrate the new year until Yule, leaving the period from Samhain to the winter solstice as a magickal time outside of time. This is what we know as Hogmanay (or New Year) it's origins date back to the rituals that marked the time of the winter solstice.

Roman celebrations of the winter festival of Saturnalia and Viking celebrations of Yule (the origin of the twelve days of Christmas) contributed to celebrations in Scotland around the new year. These celebrations and other ceremonies evolved over the centuries to become the Hogmanay holiday celebrated in Scotland today

Anyway whatever you believe I hope you have a Good New Year

Peace and Love
