    This latest series of 24 is pissing me off. It’s so full of holes, dodgy plans & screwy concepts that I’m now hoping the bad guys are going to win out. CTU & all are doing such a bad job, & the bad guys are as competent as ever suggesting that they deserve to succeed.…

    Simon Pegg, star and writer of the Spaced series and Shaun of the Dead, will be alongside Tom Cruise in the next Mission Impossible film. Apparently. I’m not sure. This rings a little close to an old BBC interview he gave once where he mentioned exactly that film… By the way, when you watch Land…

    You know you use computers too much when you’re filling in a form with a pencil and when you’re about to leave it you look for the “save” icon. Like I just did. When writing in my lab book I look for red squiggles to appear beneath words when I’m not sure of their spelling…

    Autumn is here & winter is on the way. My lights went on my bike this morning for the first time this season, the paths are slippy with wet leaves, & I got a rear wheel puncture. Strangely this was shortly after thinking, “I haven’t had a puncture for a while now”. It’s as though…

    Hurrah! We’ve just had a whopping great mortgage agreed on a new house (still being built) in Gowerton. Now wouldn’t that be nice? How many more hurdles must we jump?

    The Battlefield 2 patch long promised to us has appeared. Download it here. Unfortunately it’s pretty bloated at 171MB, but that means it’s full of fixes right? Yeah, and probably bugs too. What’s included? – a new map – compare your stats with a friend’s – add clan titles easily – passengers must exit the…

    I’ve just been giving blood. It’s not the first time I’ve done it, but it’s one of few occasions since they relaxed some of the restrictions some years ago (think asthma). It doesn’t hurt any more than a scratch, and it took less than 45 minutes all in. And most of that time was spent…

    I forgot to mention – I added some snapshots to the photos section from Dave & May’s wedding on Friday. Jack waited all day for the disco, and when it arrived he danced for a couple of songs and fell asleep for the rest of the evening. Typical. It was the first time I got…
