Speaking of things gigographic

I kind of was earlier, mentioned my gigography, was I really never at a gig at this week in history? Doesn't sound very likely, I think something's gone wrong. The dinner is on, I have a good twenty minutes to investigate before Clare gets in from wo...

We got snow this morning

Wasn't expecting that at all, looks lovely but not so helpful for our first day back at work of the year. Just seen Clare off to the station, she's shuffling carefully towards her train right now and hoping it's on time. It's apparently not going to ...

Couple of Habitat Radius bargains (in Oxford)

Coldplay with Girls Aloud???

Is this a joke? Coldplay are playing Wembley with Girls Aloud! This is a far cry from their days at the Barfly, and doesn't really make much sense to me... Jay-Z is supporting on other dates too. Here's what Club Wembley are offering as a package, fo...

If Port Lympne are applying for the license I don't think there will be any problem with them getting it

The issue might be getting bands to play, after what happened last year. If none of the same people are involved then I expect big bands will start to sign up, but obviously punters are going to hold off spending the money on tickets until either som...

Dismantling an Omega pool table

It's maybe time to get rid of the pool table, or at the very least store it somewhere, we kind of need the room... Only one question, HOW ON EARTH do I get it out of the flat? It's too heavy to move, adn too big to fit out the door. I know it arrived...

Punch up at the Seagull

I used to work in this pub, so did some chums of mine, at least one who reads this blog. My runner up memory of this place is happy times working in the bar there (after leaving The Harbour Lights but before heading off to do the BTEC with Nixdorf), ...

RE: Lambert & Weston

You'll see yours was the only reply to that original post, from over a year ago though. If googling them brings back nothing but this site I think you've made every effort to track them down, so you should use the photos! I am not a lawyer though, mi...

Not sure there is a connection, but you never know

Whoop, am I back in the ebay affiliate scheme again?

All it needed was a little chasing up, they had some problem sending the automated email, Iw asn't barred or anything. Now as a test, check out this Habitat Radius double bed, not something I'm bidding on myself, just the only Habitat Radius piece av...
