I have a new lady in my life.
We’ve only known each other for about a month, but I already know that we will enjoy many years together. We’ve been spending more and more time in each others company, and we like nothing more than sitting up to all hours …

Well, I’m back in Wolves after my sailing trip. Tom and I had a great time - I think I was able to relax a little more than Tom, as he had to look after the boat whilst I just sat back, watched and generally got in the …
Playing with Google Earth

I’ve had a little bit of a chance to play around with Google Earth, Google’s recently released interactive desktop globe, and I have to say that I’m impressed. There may just be a certain amount of novelty value at the moment, but I just love the way you can …

Things We Wish We’d Said
Sunday, May 2nd, 2004 | 1 Comment »
On two occasions in the last week I have found myself wishing for the kind of quick wit and way with words that few are graced with.

Saturday, February 14th, 2004 | No Comments »
Here’s an interesting article on how Hasselhoff helped end hostilities in Germany. I think his soft rock, which appears to only be big in Germany, is often overlooked as a peace-keeping tool. Send him to Iraq, I say.
