Just got back from Essex, splitting headache, 291 emails to catch up on (that’s what I get for staying away from the Internet for three days) and I start a new job in eleven hours time. Argh! Had a great time this weekend though. Will post more tomorrow night when my head is screwed back […]
Fading like a flower
Tom and Juliette’s leaving do Most of Warped have known for a while that Jules was moving down to London at some point to start a new job and the plan was to have a leaving do (i.e. go to the pub and get drunk) last Friday as part of her last weekend up North. […]
Firefox update
Firefox 1.0.5 has been released. It fixes a number of security holes and apparently introduces “improvements to stability” (at the moment it seems to slow down after a period of heavy use, to the point where I end up having to restart it), so if you’re running Firefox you might want to update it if […]
I’m melting
Other than melting into the ground from heat exhaustion, here’s what I’ve been up to so far this week… Dungeons and Dragons Picking up from where we left off last week, we have finally managed to get all the fighters back into their human forms and recap the events that had befallen Tom and Juliette’s […]
London bombings
I’m sure by now everyone has heard of the terrible events that occurred yesterday in London, from the explosions on the Underground to the bombs planted on buses.

Since I didn’t have anything else on and was heading through Bury anyway I thought I might as well pop in, see how things were […]
Email meme
Nick sent this to me via email and seeing as I’ll probably end up being forwarded it a few more times once it filters through to everyone I thought I might as well post it here so I can just direct people to it. Feel free to pass it on or fill it in via […]
Barbeque fun
Just (well, a couple of hours ago) got back from a barbeque with the Megalomaniacs. We had decided a couple of weeks ago that the weather was nice enough to warrant a bit of fun in the sun. Fortunately Jon and Allison, who have a proper barbeque, live quite near to Platt Fields Park, which […]
At last, a house!
Despite some messing around yesterday with the landlord losing his car keys, I went into Manchester today and signed the contract on my flat, so it’s definitely mine for next year. I feel so much more relaxed knowing that this is all sorted.
Basket case
House sorted I went to have a look at another flat today, I should have been going to see two others but the agency rang me about an hour or so before I was due to set off and told me that one place had already been rented (fair enough) and that the tenant at […]
