Laughton Road

It’s been a long trip, and a long day in Oxford today. It was fun, though. I played a bit of American football with some friends, and now, when I try and walk, it’s somewhat painful. In fact, it’s probably safe to say that the entire right side of my body feels as though it’s [...]

The film ended up being pretty good, and on this occasion I’m pleased to say that it didn’t have a surprise unhappy ending. Now that it’s finished, though, it doesn’t look like there’s much on. Indeed, the television shows seem to range from shows on the economy and finance, to shows on the essence of [...]

I think I’m going to call it a day and head to bed. But before I do, I thought I would post up a bit about article that is one of the strangest news pieces I’ve read in a very long time.
The images are slightly disturbing, and show that a cow graveyard is forming. I [...]

For a few days now I’ve been building up a nice stock of beer and crisps and all manner of other food. It was all in anticipation of this day, because today was a football day, which, from time to time, is very nice to do. There’s definitely something about sitting down and watching sport [...]

When the sky turned a threatening grey-black, earlier today, I could have told you that a storm was brewing. I could not have predicted, however, quite how bad it would turn out to be. Because at first, it just seemed like any other mild storm. Clouds swirled in a deep, grey sort of way, and [...]

I’m doing my usual late-night spot of writing. My dog’s asleep on the next sofa. There’s a film on in the background. And – strangely, considering it’s Win a Date with Tad Hamilton – I’m getting drawn into it, too. It’s called Win a Date with Tad Hamilton, which makes it all the more unexpected. [...]

Somehow, at home, we have managed to go over our limit for monthly bandwidth. Needless to say it’s made it quite hard to do much more than browse the average website. Thankfully, we have SDSL at work, so I’ve been able to get my dose of iPlayer and the like there.
Of course, it’s not just [...]

If you go onto Google Earth, and enter the correct co-ordinates (Latitude 57°12′52.13″N, Longitude 4°34′14.16″W ) you can see what is apparently the Loch Ness monster. Which is pretty cool, because Nessie was previously thought to have vanished or died off as a result of climate change.
There have been no “credible” sightings for over [...]

Global warming gets blamed for a lot of things. And, it seems, quite a lot of the time, these things are pretty ridiculous. I’ve written before about how sheep have apparently been shrinking due to global warming, and, elsewhere, other animals are growing in size.. And I’m not even sure that there is really such [...]

Town called again today, but it wasn’t Cambridge this time. My brother fancied driving around a bit to get some more practice in before his next lesson, so I hopped in and went along for the ride. It’s great to see how far he’s come after only four lessons – today, he looked very good [...]
