Oh dear. This is bad. I seem to have narrowed down the post-pub-lunch indigestion down to having a beer. I’ve tried changing the food. And the pub. And it’s not even a lot of beer. Does this mean I’m stuck to just having a coke with my lunch if I go out? Damn it!

Believe it or not, another vehicle has crashed into a bridge ahead of us on the train. I’m gonna be late in to work this morning. We have an inspector visiting today to take a good look at our anatomy suite. If he decides that it’s up to his spec he’ll give us a license.…

It’s a lovely sunny August Sunday. So what am I doing? My taxes for 2003-2004. Great. I need to fill in some forms to aid calculating Child’s Tax Credits, or whatever it’s called these days. I haven’t got a clue. I’m also putting the numbers together for self-assessment of my samwebster.net web design business for…

Dunno if anyone cares, but the next Star Wars film just had its title announced: “Revenge of the Sith”. I’m sure there’s some history to that. Wasn’t the “Return of the Jedi” orignally likely to be the “Revenge of the Jedi”? I’m probably just spouting some playground bollocks I heard when I was 9 as…

The boys from the tri club completed the Swiss Ironman today in very impressive times. Nice one Gumby, Miles and Steve! Miles 11hrs 40 Dave 11hrs 55 Steve 12hrs 07

I’ve stopped bleeding now. Didn’t mean to be melodramatic. My bike threw me off when the pawls of the freewheel failed/broke/slipped as I jumped out onto a roundabout and spun when they shouldn’t. Ouch. Gravel burns in the usual places. At least I’m not too old to bounce yet. The real sod of it is…

I’m bleeding.
