Cheat much?

June 30th, 2008 by Dave

So, I promised myself to deliver a post every day this month….I seem to have achieved it with this very post.  Now, I don’t think that making a post about making posts is necessarily cheating….
It was bloody hard, totally lacking in quality and did I say hard?  I stepped over to a blog the other [...]

Social Networking?

June 23rd, 2008 by Dave

I don’t know why I haven’t written about this before, especially as it was such a big part of my life for a long time. Now, I have to warn you, some of this post will be deeply geeky. So to that end (and for our American friends):

I can’t remember exactly how old I was, I think I was around 14 or 15.  Much too old to go on a [...]

Hmm - There could be a reason for the price…

May 3rd, 2008 by Dave

So…I moved into a flat that is above a busy Irish pub in Frankfurt. The rent is great and to be honest the noise doesn’t bother me. In fact, since I moved in, it has been considerably quieter than I anticipated.

Neighbours from hell (Hospital Ward Edition)

March 24th, 2008 by Dave

Steve - Steve, is that you Steve?
Turn that bloody tele down Margaret
Steve, it sounds like you
I said turn that tele down
“Soils self”
The above is a transcript of my ward neighbours when I was first admitted with “Gallstones“.

I love the smell of napalm…

March 14th, 2008 by Dave

…although perhaps not the taste.
It was long ago, a simpler time when men were men and New Years Eve BBQ street parties were brought together by the contents of what looked like a dark green varnish tin, but in fact contained a purple jelly like substance known as Napalm.
The thing about Napalm, the important thing [...]
