Bumping into friends in London

KERRAZY, went to London last weekend and it was smashing, and we bumped into good chums Ralph and Linda and baby Astrid in GAP, what are the chances of that? OK, we had already arranged to meet up with them earlier that day at Pain Quotidien, which w...

Backstage at Elton John's new year's eve party...

This doesn't actually sound like a bad deal, New Year's Eve is always expensive and disappointing, how do you best tickets for Elton John, at the 'Dome, free drinks and an after show party too? All for less than 300 quid. Regular tickets are around t...

HA! I have no lavish lifestyle

I thought of one place where money will be saved over the next year, if you buy any services were prices are quoted without VAT (IE I might get my heating looked at) then that could be a bill of hundreds or even thousands of pounds that I will be sav...

RE: Linksys WVC54G wireless camera, btinternet SMTP and gmail

I have a similar problem and I got tired of fighting with it. Most of these cameras also will send a screen shot to an ftp server so I wrote a vbscript that polls the server and then sends an email using my workplace smtp server. Obviously, you need ...

MediaMonkey

When I had hard drive problems recently and had to restore all my music library from a backup, I only had backups of the actual tracks and not all the associated itunes stuff. This means I lost most of my album artwork and things! Annoyingly itunes w...

I was going to get a haircut, but...

Our freezer broke down today, all the haircut money I'd saved will have to go towards that.The inside back of the freezer has bulged out (not with frost, I don't know what with) and it's forced the drawers out so they pushed the door open and it thaw...

I have only been looking at the quality of the jeans, not the bottoms

That side panel is only showing listings for the style and size of jeans that Clare is looking for, but if you let me know your measurements I'm sure I can make a page just for you.I thought of looking for some jeans for me, but I buy them so infrequ...

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...

Paper free billing from BT

Just got a letter, through the post, from BT, about paper free billing. I'm already signed up. How much can I save off my bill if you don't send me this junk mail?

Weather report part two

Ferocious rain woke us both up in the night, a proper downpour again. Clare got the fear that the weather might have resulted in our pilot light going out (it happened before), which would mean waking up to cold showers, so I got up to check on it. W...

Crikey spikey

Best off for the console table was �150 in the end, I think someone paid too much for that. It comes down to where you live though, I could pay fifty pounds more for a piece of furniture I wanted that was in Kent than I would if it was not, just to s...

The Big Food Fight

Quite looking forward to these TV shows, sure to be quite upsetting in parts, I wonder what food it will have on sales, in the short term and the longer term.This January, Channel 4 will be showing a groundbreaking season of programmes that will chan...

The only way Morrissey can save his reputation now

Quick, get on the phone to Johnny Marr and perform a hasty gig as support to the Magic Numbers at Royal Festival Hall on Wednesday. I'm not just saying this because we're going (get us, out at a gig like it's 1997 or something, and in the week too), ...

RE: Fake GAP voucher

Yeah sorry about the London thing - when the boy gets back to sleeping I think we'll be up for it again. At least it saved you from going three weeks in a row as Clare must be especially bored of having to travel to London at weekends when she does ...

Fake GAP voucher

Hmm, I smell bullshit, there's a supposedly fake GAP voucher doing the rounds offering a 60% discount at GAP today, I heard about this on www.bbc.co.uk/breakfast - don't worry though, GAP will still be offering a genuine 30% discount to anyone turnin...

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

Oof, just deleted the whole site

Good job too !

Nah, I'm afraid the station took a bit of a battering (DDOS attack) from a bunch of Turkish hackers who for no obvious reason took a dislike to the station website. They went after who they thought was our ISP & ended up taking out internet access fo...

Why is MJ Hibbett not showing up on my "blogroll"?

I've been using social bookmarking site del.icio.us to handle my links to other sites forever, getting (for example) a feed of my links tagged "blogs" and then filtering out just links I've given a rating too. I've saved MJ Hibbett so why's it not sh...

RE: You can click on the subject / title to edit it

I've re-savd my log-in details in Opera but I think it's saved the subject again. Oh, and it's gone and saved the CAPTCHA code as well this time. Damn, I guess that means I'll just have to commit my password to memory.

RE: You can click on the subject / title to edit it

No, when I saved my login info in Opera it saved the subject field, too. I'm going to try saving it again and hopefully it'll leave that field alone this time.

RE: Top 100 best popex players

Oh, it's cos I've got my login info saved in Opera and it's saved that title too. It'll happen again when I post too. I'll see if I can change it.

wg111 (wifi) + ubuntu (linux) still not playing nicely

Everything was good until I upgraded to the newer "Feisty Fawn" version of ubuntu, now we're back to the drawing board. I have no wifi and sometimes I have no keyboard or mouse either. If any of the following instructions (which I'm copying and pasti...

Should I buy me a new IPOD?

It feels like ages since I bought myself something new, should I get a video ipod? It feels a little be decadent, as my old IPOD is still working just fine, after four years or however long it's been, I just want some of the new functionality, like ...

Hot weekend

Weekend was ace wasn't it? We started with a lunchtime pint with work at a nice pub called The Drum, then a few drinks just the wife and me. Saturday we headed to The Whole World Cafe, and what do you know it was actually open this time? We were a bi...

"an important part of amusement park heritage" gone forever...

The Save Dreamland Campaign has worked tirelessly over the last few days to save the Runaway Coaster, being the only side friction figure eight coaster left in the UK and one of only two in the world. We believed it to be an important part of amuseme...

RE: Cheers, I fixed it now I think

Oh yeah, a load of new stuff just appeared. I guess I was wrong.I posted a blank reply earlier by mistake when I click the button to auto-complete all my details. As well as my username and password, Opera must have saved that subject heading as well...

Beer: not bad

My homebrew was not bad at all, not 100% clear, but brown and smelled and tasted of beer, so can't complain. Was a little bit malty for my taste, but I can fis that when I start on a proper recipe and really mess things up.All in all had a very nice ...

Finsbury Park

plus Rage Against The Machine, Skunk Anansie, Thunder and Three Colours Red and L7. Got freebies from the NME and drank all the money I saved. Kind of lost it about five songs in and ended up in Covent Garden....
