Where’s me keys v. What’re me keys?
A random comment about forgetfullness at work this morning prompted someone to say ‘Alzheimers’ has struck again’. A casual joking response. Another colleague said he had been given a good definition for the illness.

Fat bottom’d bish, you make the room go spinning ’round…
/sing Thanks to Queen for the title. 😉 Well, it’s been a week since I brought the exercise bike home and, like a religious fool, I’ve made my devotions every evening.

The bucket fills
It’s the age old question, often asked but seldom answered. We fill this planet like a dripping tap fills a bucket. Ultimately, there is no more space in the bucket and the water overflows. No matter the Kyoto agreements, reducing reusing recycling, saving the whale and the rainforest, facing up to climate change or the…

A day of challenges.
On arriving at site I found the network down and the switch dead, so called in to the helldesk.

“The Root of All Evil”
Did you see Richard Dawkins on Channel 4 last night? He set out his stall as an avowed atheist and argued that all war and hurt in the world can be laid at the door of religion. Not entirely irrational of course, but then he set out to find the most fundamental examples of three…

………..and breath!
So here we are, the end of 2005ce – which hasn’t been a bad year all in all. The festivities have taken their toll on poor bish. I weighed myself last night and discovered the pot belly weghed about a stone, that being the amount I am over my normal 12 and a bit stone…

Depression
Call it the pre-Christmas blues, or the actions of the too too big full moon overhead, but for the last two weeks (or possibly somewhat longer) I’ve really struggled against the onset of depression.

Breathing new life into old iPods…
Miss’ 3G iPod finally gave up the ghost this last weekend, so I bravely ordered a new battery from www.ipoddoctor.co.uk for twenty five quid. Half an hour of wiggling with my bushcraft knife later, and the thing’s done! And no scratches! So easy, although the provided ‘opening tool’ lasted about fifteen seconds before self destructing.…
