30 years ago pretty much to the minute, I appeared in this world, surrounded by an unconscious mother and hospital porters betting on that day’s Grand National. And I still be here, being old and grumpy. Although the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Where’s me pipe? Bastards.
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 […]
US budget airline JetBlue have satellite TV built into the aircraft. Each passenger can watch live TV as broadcast on the DIRECTV platform (similar to Sky here in the UK), which is pretty damn cool.

It’s all been and gone … Update: 2004-03-28 15:34 BST If you wanted to come along, you’ve missed out — photies and stuff soon. What? I’m 30 years old on the 30th of March, 2004. I’ve decided that much drinking is in order, and that in the interests of fairness, that the drinking shouldn’t occur […]
Microsoft have released (admittedly a fortnight ago) an update to Bookshelf Symbol 7, a font included in Office 2003, for including two instances of the swastika.
