Music to crash cars to…though perhaps not quite the music I would have chosen. Saab opera (or maybe its a ballet?) Belly dancing gone mad

This passion is a plagiarism

Wednesday I went to the Dresden Dolls gig – I’m not sure I’ve got a great deal to say that hasn’t been said better by someone else. But thats not going to stop me writing a little more about them and their friends anyway. Bang On, who were playing as we arrived, looked like they’d […]

Lunchbox-a-le-le Augmented trampoline – playing with fire Porsche remember they make cars – though I’m somewhat disturbed that the three pictures on that page show such different cars, wonder which one they’re making? “You may think while reading this that it could be a “troll”, a humorous invention for the amusement of its author. It […]

Your light cone “Sweetheart or psycho? Can’t make your mind up if they’re too good to be true or a total nutter in sheep’s clothing? Stay Safe…” Tree house

And don’t you want to hear about how I am getting on

First week down and I’m still alive. Its been a close call thing with rather too much sitting on trains and rather too little sleeping. At least I’m getting some reading done. The job itself is going OK, I’m taking over from someone I worked with a long time back, which is cool ‘cos that […]

No lifts, no trains, no busses, GET ME OUT!

During my putting-everything-in-boxes routine I again found my cache of old film photos. This time I actually had a scanner handy and have started scanning them….theres a disproportionate number of pictures of my thumb, something I have managed to learn to put out the way now. They’re mostly pictures from festivals, by looks of things […]

More freecycling

I found a few more games: – Settlers III – Populous, the begining – MegaPak (Carmageddon, ecstatica and apocalypse) – Theme hospital – Diablo – Sim City 2000 No boxes for the last three.

Freecycling – PC games mostly

…well, kind of, if no-one here wants these things they’ll go to the local freecycle group. I have the following games (all on CDs, most in original packaging) to give away: – Transport Tycoon – Bloodnet – Settlers II – Tycoon collection (Transport Tycoon Deluxe + Rollercoaster Tycoon, Railway Tycoon disk is missing) – Sim […]
