Leaving work I left work for the last time on Friday, felt a bit weird to be going as I’ve got used to getting up early every morning and trudging in to work on the bus like everyone else. I thought I’d just be heading off home but apparently I was having a leaving do […]
Pub quiz victory!
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been going to a pub quiz at the Rampant Lion with Gareth, Justine and some of her housemates/friends from fencing. The quiz is split into four parts, each with twenty questions, and we usually do well (we get at least 75% most times by the sounds of it), […]
Curry and registration week
ManLUG curry A few weeks ago, a group of us on the ManLUG IRC channel (#manlug on irc.oftc.net if you want to join us at any point) came up with the idea of getting the group to go out for some social events, as the meetings themselves tend to be rather formal and a bit […]
Powerbook upset
Last weekend my Powerbook suddenly starting playing up, refusing to load and emitting three beeps whenever I hit the power switch.

Catching up
Work I’m not going to say a huge amount about my job, mainly because I don’t feel it’s fair to post things about people who I see on a daily basis but don’t really know all that well. What I will say is that work is going okay so far, although obviously like any job […]
Keys to flat
Finally got the keys to my flat yesterday evening and stayed the night after role playing. The kitchen and the bathroom are a bit grubby but the landlord is supposedly sending someone in to put new sealant around the bath this week and also hopefully plumb the washing machine in (I think he’s realised now […]
Crazy week
What a crazy week it’s been so far, haven’t really had chance to sit down since Thursday morning… Fantastic Four Went to see this with Kirk at thefilmworks on Thursday, as I hadn’t been to the cinema for a while and it looked rather good from the trailers. The film wasn’t too bad; there were […]
