Is anyone taking bets on when Tony Blair will go. Here’s my prediction. If left to decide the date for himself then Tony Blair will resign on or soon after Wednesday 19th November 2008. Why that date? On that date he equals the amount of time that Margaret Thatcher was PM. p.s. I’ve just noticed… Continue reading Tony Blair – A Prediction

Dodgy Neighbours
Looks like the police have closed a brothel that was based in a flat on my road. Amazing how little you can know about your own neighbourhood.
PC World and Linux
Of course I don’t expect PC World staff to be able to answer any of my questions about the Linux compatibility of the products they sell. I just ask them as a bit of sport and in the vain hope that they might be reporting back to head office about the level of interest that… Continue reading PC World and Linux

So that their users weren’t left stranded by this, they set up a deal with Photobox whereby Fotango customers… Continue reading More Password Stupidity

There seems to be some kind of football competition going on… Ok. I’m determined not to spend the next month complaining about the World Cup. I’m going to do my best to just ignore whenever possible.

Over the last few weeks we’ve been gardening. Well, when I say “gardening”, I mean “razing to ground and rebuilding from scratch”. Some of you will realise that the outdoors is not my natural habitat and manual labour is not my first choice of ways to spend the weekend. However, it had to be done… Continue reading Simple Pleasures
