Patriotic DutyI don’t normally post this type of thing (forwarded joke email) but I couldn’t resist this one… “As we all know, the Taliban considers it a sin for a man to see a naked woman who is not his wife. So, this Saturday at 2:00 PM Eastern time all British women are asked to…

Mr.MenI think I had all the books, and a couple of audiotapes as well (with Arthur Lowe from Dad’s Army providing the voices). Anyway, the question is, how many can you name? (Mr.Men or Little Miss…) I think we got most of them, but it was getting late and we couldn’t stay awake long enough…

We didn’t start the fireA while back I said that I was going to use Billy Joel’s track to give my modern history a bit of an updating. Seems I now have another little learning aid based on the same song. I wonder if Mr.Joel thought his song would live on in this kind of…

Spider AlertMy spider sense went off the scale with this one (OK, I’ve ALWAYS wanted to be Spiderman, but I digress). Fascinating pictures, well worth a quick look, even if it is through the gap between your fingers… “When you see horror movies with spider web festooned from this place to that place and so…

Where is my muse!My muse has abandoned me today. Ohh and work sucks at the moment. And I can’t go to the pub tonight. And our Xmas tree goes up tomorrow night (so if you live in my neighbourhood prepare for either a dazzling display of flashing Xmas lights, or a complete blackout when we…

Eat, drink and be thankfulSo I’m guessing the net will be a tad quieter today as all those Yanks (hey I can call them what I like, they are stuffing themselves full of food and watching a 14 hour long American Football game, or is it the commercials they watch? Hmmm) are celebrating Thanksgiving. As…

Queue hereIt’s always good to have a different perspective on things. A differing viewpoint can sometimes offer a unique perspective on things that you had previously missed. So it was with some great amusement that I read an Aussie’s view on The Great Q Phenomenon. Much as I would like to disagree and offer a…

Two days downSo, The Scottish Blogs WebRing has been running for two days and already has 7 members. I’m still learning the admin side of things and today ran a quick check to see if everyone had the code properly implemented on their site (nothing Big Brother, just seeing if it would work). So to…

Working at homeAnd trying to stayed focussed, honest I am. But that’s the beauty of working at home you see.. I stayed up until midnight working, so I could have a bit of a lie-in, I’ll do a little extra this evening and, maybe, just maybe, I’ll get ahead for a while…

MelancholyI’m a tad down at the moment, and although I know it’s just the weather/stress at work/impending financial crisis that is Xmas, it takes me back to a bad time in my life. And then I go and read this (at bluegirl). So damn true it hurts.

Gulp, take a deep breathOK, I’ve gone and done it. After months, nay, years of procrastinating I’ve finally done ‘something’ for this little thing we call blog. Now I’ll be honest I’m not sure how this will go, I’ll drive it as hard as I can (so a few of you out there can expect…

Failing health systemI have to agree with Scotblog’s views on the medical profession. A friend of mine has had a few problems recently and the doctors have singularly failed, on top of that, some of them have been down right incompetent. For example: what kind of doctor tells a woman who has been fainting that…

Glasgow PubsAlex makes a good point about the declining choice of pubs in Glasgow. Well said that man.. Errr… but where did I go on Thursday night… 2 Wetherspoon’s, and Buddha. I’m blaming my mate, he lives in England now and wanted ‘real ale’ (also known as slightly flat, weak, warm beer… bleuch)
