...since I posted much of interest regarding my life. So what have I been up to lately? Well...I'm not in the mood for much of a mega-wordy post (and I can hear the sighs of relief as I type) but here's a few things that have been done lately ( Read more... )

I now understand why there are commercial breaks because if there weren't I would probably have dehydrated myself to death in front of the TV ( Read more... )

The BBC does Birmingham justice...at lastFull update is still on the way about my weekend. It'll be a bit self-loathing and emo-ish so you'll probably all want to skip it but...well...I'm going to write it anyway, when I have the time and the mental energy ( Read more... )

The only item of interest to anyone in the UK today should be that...

TOP GEAR IS BACK!

Tonight on BBC2 at 8pm. Watch it or fail at life.

Edit: And damn good it was too. The scenes of Richard Hammond's jet car runs were amazing and it's unfortunate they had to culminate in an almost-fatal accident. In other news...me want.

So 2006 is sooo last year, new year is now old hat and Christmas is but a distant memory. So far I've enjoyed the televisual treat of This Life +10 which exceeded my expectations - but then my expectations were pretty low anyway.

I must admit to not knowing where I am, metaphorically. Today is allegedly Tuesday yet it shared no common features with other Tuesdays. Firstly I worked, in lieu of yesterday when I didn't although, technically, I had yesterday off in lieu of today which I worked. You get me? Good. Secondly, no pub quiz this evening either. So yeah.
