The Human Touch
2007-03-27 09:28:00 I think we have all got too used to automatic announcements.I enjoyed chuckling at the error the human announcer made at the station this morning.Basically he was running through the list of destinations for my train and forgot where it was going - it was really refreshing to hear a human being stumble and publicly apologise.These innocent acts are missing from our society and it's a shame as it's what makes us all human.

Brisith Sausage Time
2007-03-25 15:42:00 Right here's the deal. I knew it was the start of BST this weekend. I informed my foreign work mates of this.Richard and I even discussed it yesterday.So why did I forget to set the clocks last night?When the clocks change (especially when they go forward, loosing us an hour), I like to change the clocks before we go to bed. Unfortunately we forgot and our leisurely lay in followed by fresh croissants at 9.20 was spoilt when we realised it was actually 10.30.Don't get me wrong, we didn't plan anything today but it does feel like the day is running away with us.I have therefore decided to upload another 365days photo to Flickr which proves how sleepy I am! No doubt I'll get my wrist slapped by the petty moderators in the group for posting two pics in one day but do I care? More About: Time , Sausage , Usage , Sage , Ausa

The Joy of Freebies!
2007-03-24 09:25:00 As I am sure lots of people do, I spend some time browsing around the web and I enjoy reading articles on multiple web sites. I especially like little treats like free music etc (who wouldn't).It was one such freebie on Arjans web site that led me to Nate James.I am sure I have seen him featured on other sites but have not heard him sing. Arjans freebie of Funk Defining was enough to get me over to Lavamus where I plugged into the rest of the material available there.I have now purchased the EP and the last album and am very impressed.Nate is from Suffolk in the UK and notes his influences as Prince, Jamiroquai and Stevie Wonder and boy can you tell! He has a wonderful soul voice and I would go so far to say that I think he is better than John Legend.Pop over to Arjans for the download.The new Abercrombie and Fitch store opened in London yesterday and it's as dark and depressing as the store on 6th Avenue.I guess it's time to throw away my Abercrombie clothes and find somethin...

Bureaucracy Gone Mad
2007-03-23 18:24:00 I know that the Labour party has well and truly fucked up this country and I know that breaking apart government run businesses was a bad move but I never realised that simple tasks could be so damn complicated to correct.My annual season ticket (which costs me £2,500 a year), started to jam in various gates at stations. As this is my main ticket and it cost so much I decided to get a replacement.I went to City Thameslink today and asked for a new ticket.I thought this would be a simple process of man takes ticket, man checks my ID, man puts blank ticket in machine, man gives me shiny new ticket. Boy was I wrong!First off the ticket man said my ticket was playing up because the gates at City Thameslink were playing up.I stipulated I have never been through this station and that this was happening in various stations.He then said I couldn't exchange my ticket as I'd have to do that at the station where I got my ticket.I informed him that was online.He didn't know what to sugges...

Blowing hot and cold!
2007-03-19 18:48:00 OK so last week I was driving you all crazy by telling you how lovely the weather was and that spring had finally arrived.This morning I wake up the temperature has dropped significantly and we had a dusting of snow.In the City it was quite mild (apart from the wind) but when I arrived home it was windy, freezing cold and we've had freak flurries of snow.What's going on?(Please excuse the state of the garden and the back yard, I planned to attack it on Sunday but the weather turned!)

Poor Excuses
2007-03-18 16:26:00 This afternoon we paid a visit to our local RSPCA Rescue Center, the same center that we acquired Brandy and Jerry.We like to pay a routine visit as we take food and donations up there whilst also spending some time with the cats.We were looking around at the occupants and although there are no replacements for Jerry, there are a few candidates that could keep Brandy and us company.We're not looking for a new cat, I still feel it is too soon and I still haven't quite come to grasp the concept that Jerry is no longer with us.What annoys me about centers like the one we visited is the reasons that some of the animals are there. Some are ill treated (one poor in-mate was just 1 kg when found) whilst others are abandoned for selfish reasons. One old family cat had been put into the center as the children would tickle his tummy and he didn't like it - obviously the children could not be taught not to do it, the reaction was to get rid of the cat!Another poor soul was being re-homed ...

Waffle-ing on!
2007-03-17 17:57:00 It's been a really chilled day today.Luke paid me a visit which was really nice as we have not seen on another in ages.We stopped by my favourite eatery and had breakfast waffles with mushrooms and bacon. Thankfully I was much brighter than Luke who was nursing a hang over.Still he looked really well and as chatty as ever.You can follow his adventures as he maintains his own set of 365 photos (although watch out for the horrible toenail removal shot!).We made the most of the spring weather as all the reports are forecasting a dramatic drop in temperature and snow at the beginning of the week. I do wish Mother Nature would make up her mind!
Is Blair Bothered?
2007-03-17 10:17:00 Catherine Tate's jokes are wearing very thin but this was a very good spin on the Lauren sketches.I can't help thinking that bLIAR got involved because he and the Labour party love such chav comedy? I reckon that the government is actually proud to have spawned a nation full of LaurensI shouldn't complain, it was sketches like this that helped raise over £40M last night for Comic Relief More About: Other , Blair , Here , There , Lair

Feline Forum
2007-03-12 19:03:00 It seems that my blog is turning into a bit of a cat forum!I spoke to my mum today as she took the family cat Steamy to the vet. For some time now he has been wandering around the house at all hours crying. It's got so bad he was doing it last weekend when I was home, as he was drinking from his water bowl!I thought it may have something to do with his age (he's 16) and I wasn't too far off. Unfortunately wasn't prepared for the early diagnosis.The vet reckons Steamy may have dementia. He had suffer a fit a while ago (something that also affect my parents old cat Tigger) and the vet reckons this has caused some brain damage. Apparently he's perfectly alright except that he has not idea what time of day it is or where he is. (Before you ask; no, I have no idea how the vet worked this out!)As you can understand my parents are pretty upset with the news.They have taken some blood to test which will rule out issues with his kidneys etc. Once this is confirmed the vet will de...

Weekend
2007-03-11 09:02:00 It's been a good weekend so far, apart from Brandy waking us each day at 6:30 for food! She can't help it, I know she's adjusting to not having Jerry around but I wish I could get back to sleep.It's currently 8:03 on Sunday and I have been making updates to the site since I fed her at 6:30!As well as Brandy's crying I have to cope with Monkey trying to steal my cuppa!We had a nice day yesterday as we met up with Stephen and Robin for lunch. It was great to catch up with them. The weather has been very kind to us this weekend and I hope it continues as we are out with friends later today. More About: Weekend , Week

Little Dickies
2007-03-06 08:28:00 After the horrendous week the preceded it, last weekend ended up being quite nice.I must admit that neither Richard nor I really wanted to make the trek down to Devon but it was worth it. Of course we did the usual trips to see family etc but we had another reason for venturing south.A very good friend of mine, Helen, got married in Antigua a couple weeks ago and she had her wedding party this weekend at Crownhill Fort. It's a venue in Plymouth neither of us have been to before but it made for an interesting setting.I was very pleased to catch up with Helen and co. Especially as I hadn't seen the likes of Charlie for nearly ten years.Helen looked so very happy and glowing in her wedding dress. Possibly helped by a gorgeous post Caribbean tan.I on the other hand (as well as Richard) felt very uncomfortable in black tie. At least it was the rule so we didn't stand out! LOLI do think the visit home did us some good and it helped put our mind at rest about Brandy as the people ... More About: Dick , Little , Litt , Dickies
Rest in Peace Jerry Cat
2007-02-25 17:46:00 After suffering a stroke our proud little boy was taken away from us suddenly this afternoon.He was fit, he was well, he was Jerry .To say we are distraught would be an understatement.Rest in peace little man. Lots of love and hugs always, Daddy, Daddy and Brandy xxXxxHear all about our loss and the effect it is having on all of us in Trunk Cast 80 and watch this video footage of Jerry at his best.

On the road again
2007-02-25 09:15:00 It doesn't seem like five minutes ago that we were all at Thetford Forest enjoying the Pet Shop Boys concert and now they have announced new UK dates.I am not sure what, is anything, they are promoting but this set of dates seem to be at much smaller venues.After chatting to Stephen last night we're definitely going to try and get some tickets for one of the gigs in May.

Fallen Angel
2007-02-24 14:39:00 I spotted a competition online to design some wallpaper with a preselected set of vector images. I have used some of these images and added my own photography from Berlin as well as other shots I have in my collection.The result is my entry (and a new wallpaper) titled "The Fall en Angel of Berlin".What do you think?Update: I created a few more illustrative wallpapers this afternoon (yes this afternoon). All of which are available to view on Flickr and use as desktop wallpaper. More About: Allen
