Is there a better way to spend a sunday afternoon than to go for a walk in the spring sunshine over the Yorkshire Dales?
A footpath lined with dry stone walls leading towards the limestone crags.
Looking from the top of Attermire Scar over the fell towards Pen-y-ghent - which looks much bigger to the human eye […]
It looks like spring is here.
Most Saturday’s I walk around to my local greengrocers and stock up on fruit and veg for the week. They have an excellent selection. The prices are a little more expensive than the supermarket, but they stock more varieties of vegetables and the quality is top notch. They also get in a lot of local […]
Earlier today I went along to my local cinema (handily placed about 5 minutes walk away) to see the film Syriana. It’s a very good film, with a satisfyingly complex plot. Probably also worth mentioning that, because the film is about the oil industry and Middle Eastern geopolitics, you don’t get a gaggle of teenagers […]
An excellent link for you. Upload a photo of yourself and MyHeritage.com’s fancy facial recognition software will process your image and tell you which celebrity you most resemble!
Apparently I most resemble Art Garfunkel (58% likeness).
Then Mark Hamill (54% likeness).
Then, er, Junichiro Koizumi, the Japanese Prime Minister (53% likeness).

cleaned assorted skirting boards;
polished my shoes;
washed the bathmats;
changed the sheets on my bed;
replaced the strings on my […]
Visiting a website earlier today, I was confronted with one of those annoying javascript adverts that slide over the top of the article you are reading. I was in a good mood at the time, so I didn’t curse it or ignore it as per usual. Instead I actually read the thing. In this […]
Merry Christmas!
Ok, I know it’s Boxing Day so I am a bit late in my Christmas wishes. But my domain has been intermittently disappearing from this world, due to DNS troubles at my hosts. It was down pretty much all day yesterday, but I suppose I can give the support team Christmas Day off; being […]
When I got home from work today, there was a letter from NPower (my electricity supplier) waiting for me. It was addressed like this:
So they spell my surname wrong, they imply that I may be thrown out of my home and they reckon that I live in a jobcentre! Way to go NPower.
Now, how do […]
Listen to I’m sorry I haven’t a clue on Radio 4 tonight at 6:30pm GMT. It was recorded yesterday evening at the Harrogate International Centre, and I was there! A careful listener may be able to pick out my tears of laughter from the amongst the audience’s roaring good humour. An excellent evening.
