Thanks, advice from another friend at work here is NO too

It seems to be just one way communication, sound is streamed from the PC to the airport express, and then I can plug speakers in to that. I can't send anything back the other way to skip a track or anything. This would be slightly worse than the curr...

Should I buy an Aiport Express?

I want a way to play my music from the computer around the house, without too much expense... is Apple Airport Express worth a go? I think I'll need another solution to be able to change tracks from the other room, but just to stream from one to the ...

Precision engineering?

Are you a major shipbuilder looking for some machine components? How about a vintage aeroplane fan who needs some custom remade components? Structural engineering components? Marine leisure industry components? No, I thought not, but I'm thinking of ...

RE: GBP49.95 for eight days parking at Gatwick airport!

Not quite, see location of all the airports here... I made that map! Well, google made it and I fed it with things.Thanks for chipping in anyway, whoever you are. Do you work for a rival parking firm, or have you just had a bad experience?...

Our actual first day in Key West

I realise that my previous post about our first day in Key West a) didn't contain any info, b) had things from our second day on the map, and c) has slipped down the page and no-one will read it. So here at last is the first part of our journey. Clar...

Ooh, new Holiday Extras design:

Holiday Extras, who I work for, though obviously the design is nothing to do with me. I've done some of the techie bits in the background, sorting and maps and calculating the distance between the hotel and airport and so on. Good work to all involve...

Fullsome weekender

Fairly action packed weekend for me really, surprise meal for Clare's folks for their ruby wedding on Friday, we went to The Jackdaw. I had exotic mushroom paella, it was a bit dull really but a nice night out anyway. Most other people loved their fo...

The sister-in-law's waters have just broken

This is a medical term that is related in some way to having a baby apparently. This means we're likely to have a new niece this afternoon, we'll call in to see her on our way to Canterbury for lunch tomorrow, I think she's in Ashford. This new niece...

Rah, we took the quiz again

The quiz at the ship is GREAT, surprise question master this week was the wife's cousin, but I SWEAR this is not how we won. It all came down to a tie breaker in the end, set by the landlord (who is not a relation) on how much the bus fare was from B...

Another action packed weekender

The new computer est arriv�! Had no time to play with it yet as it's been such a busy weekend, and so had no time to get pictures off the camera yet, so my weekend diarisation and explanation is without illustration so far, sorry (see pictures by my ...

What I done on my weekend

Huge weekend then, we really packed quite a lot in. Started off with a Friday off, though still a commute up to London, we had our trips to Admiralty House and Number 10, through Clare's work.Instead of snoozing on the way up to London I took the opp...

Welcome to Miami!

Or, rather, from Miami, or even (by the time I write this up) hello from England, Miami sends its regards. Just BACK from a trip to the US of States to visit Clare's bro and sister-in-law in the pan-handle bit of the Americas. Tiring flight over to M...

Get well soon Rich

Oof, chum Richy has just been rushed into hospital. He's OK now, but will not be joining us on the stag do. Most of the party are there already (I got many texts, their first beer was at 5.14am) and Rich was the one out of four of us tomorrow who kne...

Trains and IPODs

Our train ground to a halt this morning at Orpington, and had to be rebooted. That's the most interesting non-TV thing to have happened so far this week. I am still aching a bit from Sunday's gardening. Looking forward to a restful weekend... OH NO!J...

Monterey

Just setting up a place holder here where I will post the next part of my holiday honeymoon writeup... on leaving San Francisco we went to Monterey, before heading to Santa Barbara and Los Angeles.First we had to get out of San Francisco, which meant...

San Francisco

So, part the first of my big holiday / honeymoon write up. Slight preamble, some experiences on the way there. Our flights were at nice civilised times, but to save any rush and extend the holiday a bit, we booked into a hotel at Heathrow. But it was...

Now that is just wrong!

You gotta see someone at the Airport!

Saw NO-ONE while on holiday

I thought it was THE LAW that you saw famous people at airports? I think I saw someone from wifeswap at LAX, but can't be sure, pretty feeble... We spent some time in a bar in LA that I found out on getting home is Morrissey's favourite... but no sig...

Don't shoot!

It was raining when I left the house this morning, so I'm wearing a big coat, and it wasn't raining when I got to London, it was quite hot, so now I'm TERRIFIED I'll be shot for dressing suspiciously! What is going on there then? I hope there's more ...

Damn I had a really good headline in mind for this

SO, went to Ireland at the weekend, and it was very nice! Here will follow my little review of where we went and what we did, and things I recommend and things I don't.Friday morning we had a wedding meeting at Lympne Castle, TOO EARLY, and too many ...

we had the same problem

with an iMac.
just gave it a fixed IP in the end.

Airport is OK, but other Mac wireless stuff seems to behave a bit randomly.

Eileen Grimshaw from Corrie

I saw her on Sunday at Manchester Airport, being picked up by someone who had parked very inconsideratly, almost block one of the access routes.

What the Bubble Got Right

An article by Paul Graham that is doing the rounds... here's my favourite bit:"When I drive down 101 from the airport, I still feel a buzz of energy, as if there were a giant transformer nearby."...

There, on the stair

Forgot to mention, yesterday morning we found a little surprise in our kitchen cupboard, one mouse, deceased. It's only the cupboard we keep tins in, as we've had evidence of mice before, so it looks like the little feller got in, couldn't find any f...

Ralph Little

On Sunday 7th March he was parking his car with the company I work for at Heathrow, he was flying to Ireland with 1 friend, and they were planning on going out for the evening and they were both dressed in tracksuits (BRIGHT!!!) and hats, bandana's a...

The Bloody Queen

Today (25/11/2003) heading for the airport in her big flash car (and 20 Lothian and Borders police). One assumed she was on her way home from the Royal Variety Performance yesterday evening.

Lock Stock

A pleasant evening in the Defoe, they have a new guest beer on called Lock Stock, it's a smashing deep red colour and tastes a bit of bitter chocolate. Spotted CELEBS, that's my best hobby - Sue Perkins was the most famous, her off celebrity Big Brot...
