The ramblings of a discombobulated mind
This weekend I visited CW, who has been working away in Eastern Germany for the last couple of weeks, in Erfurt. Erfurt is a beautiful town, clean and modern looking with enough oldie-worldy German goodness that it has that “wow” factor when you wander around. It is clearly quite a touristy place, indicated by the [...]

I was speaking to CW’s Dad the other day..and he told me the story of a guy wandering into their shop, looking around for a little while and eventually pulling out a prescription for orthopaedic shoes. SW explained to the gentleman that they were not an orthopaedic shoe distributor and were in fact a specialist brush [...]

I am sure that some of you will remember a British TV show called “Whose Line Is It Anyway”. Basically, it was a comedy improvisation show that featured a number of American and/or Canadian comedians with a token Brit thrown in from time to time…you know, just to remind people that we have a sense [...]

This post is going to annoy, irritate and possibly upset at least 3 people that I am very close to..my daughter and both M & K. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable. Why? Well…I watched Twilight last night. We wanted to watch a film and, while we have numerous Hollywood classics available to choose from, CW insisted [...]

OK, so I must have missed the upgrade notification…but it would appear that we are all dealing with Web 2.0 these days…by the mere act of blogging this, I have added to the interactive and social aspect of the web (apparently). I don’t understand the term to be honest..I mean, surely it is just Web [...]

Now, having [...]

Photo by philcampbellWell, it’s official…in case you didn’t already realise. Blogs have power, real..actual..honest to goodness power. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/somerset/8332616.stm Apparently, a particularly aggressive blogger in a town in the UK forced pretty much all of the local council to resign, due to “Impossible Working Conditions”. Sensitive much? Now, I am under no illusions about my tales [...]

…where chainletters and their ilk had gone to…wonder no more. As far as I can tell, they all seem to have migrated over to that wondrous and oft ranted about (by me at least) site, Facebook. I am not entirely sure when this happened…I used to enjoy learning how my forwarding an email to 20 [...]

Apparently, claims of sexual harassment within a cockpit of an Air India flight erupted into a full [...]

Nothing to see here, move along. I can’t think of a single thing to write about today, and it’s a slow news day (at least as far as the two news pages I visit are concerned). I suppose I could analyse a classic hit from the 70′s, 80′s or 90′s, but frankly I am tired [...]
