Comebacks

After last night's comeback by Man. Utd. (5-2 agaist Spurs after being 0-2 down) I reviewed the comments made by Glenda (Glen Hoddle) under similar circumstances back in 2001 ( Man Utd winning 5-3 after being 3-0 down). It is interesting to note that he believed that they would have won had they only been 2-0 instead of 3-0 up. (huh????)

Well yesterday's result has finally scuppered that ridiculous notion!!!

Blake's Seven

Recently I've managed to download the first 2 seasons of the British Sci-Fi TV series Blake's Seven.
Like every British Sci-Fi TV series of the late seventies and early eighties, the effects are so bad that they are wonderful.

Below is a little ditty as tribute to Britian's answer to Star Trek.



Blake's Seven
Where in heaven
Did you find that, you freak
Once again you've proved that you're a geek!!!

Why I want a Mini!

Sometimes, there is no need for words.

Giant Schnauzers

Been in the forums trying to find a Schnauzer
A giant one I tell the web-browser
Your budget you better rouser
For a big hole, it'll burn in your trousers!!!

Roundly Pilloried

This Friday at the pub, I was roundly pilloried by the chaps for my drama-queen act.

Some one then asked me what pilloried means; so being the geek that I am, I did some research and the following is what it means.

A pillory (noun from Middle English) is a wooden framework erected on a post, with holes for securing the head and hands, formerly used to expose an offender to public derision. (See picture below.)

Therefore to be pilloried (verb) means to be subjected to derision.


I certainly would not mind being pilloried by her.

Castaway Dog - This is so good

I wonder if any of you caught this story this week about how a dog lost at sea was discovered on a remote island and reunited with his owners.

Check it out, the ultimate feel good story.

Cables bloody cables!!! Or... where did I pack that.

The first most obvious downside of living like a nomad is that I can't remember where I packed my things. e.g. I couldn't print a confidential letter the other day, as I could not find my printer cables. My printer is sitting bold and proud on my dining table, but is absolutely useless without it's missing cables.
I also could not find my SLR cables and took a chance that my camera would have sufficient battery capacity for my trip to Singapore, but it turns out that the batteries had only 6% capacity left.
Oh, I can't wait to find a final resting place!!!
