Ketchup
I like to blog, but I’ve been remiss in posting. So what better time than the end of the year to post what I’ve been up to. Three tomatoes are walking down the street: a poppa tomato, a momma tomato, and a little baby tomato. Baby tomato starts lagging behind. Poppa tomato gets angry, goes…

Gotta Love Councils
Got a letter through from my local council, telling me a local play area — swings, slides, other public-body approved child death traps — has “been put forward as a site for environmental improvement”. The real genius part of it is this: Please refer to the enclosed plan for details of the proposed scheme. The…

Scotland 1, France 0
This surely says it all: Gary Caldwell scores for Scotland against France, Hampden Park, 2006-10-07 I was in McPhabb’s for this game, and the atmosphere was unbelievable. What a great day to be a Scotsman. Oh, view the French reaction too!

‘Mon the Podcasts!
Coupla podcast-tastic things happening, both of which have sweary bits. Woo. First, myself and some of the LugRadio IRC/forum regulars started up hashlugradio, to discuss topics brought up in episodes of LugRadio, but also brought up by the community members.

Wha’s Like Us? Damn Few, And We’re Aw Pished!

This kind of thing is good, as this country’s relationship with Ra Drink has always been somewhat love-and-hate, but when I read Tory MSP Brian Monteith‘s comments that we shouldn’t be treated like “children” and…

Saturday Past, Drinking Liquids, All In and Out
sat 1445 GMT home -> car to mcphabbs (loads of guinness and munchies) -> air organic (loads of lager, spirits and a nice boak in the loo) -> $randompub (water and crisps) -> solid rock (guinness and crisps) -> kebab shop (keeebab!) -> firebird (guinness and chips) -> crash at a flat -> sun 1215…

Geek Shopping
Am I allowed to get pissed off because the guy at Asda wasn’t packing my stuff into bags optimally? I twice ended up putting one bag into another. It’s alright for the mums and dads who have umpteen kids traipsing behind them and they can be used as slave labour at the other end when…
