Interesting Argument About Global Warming – Watch more free videos
Nothing to be said – just watch!
Spotted over on Bill’s Blog, a neat and easy way to display the countries and US states that you’ve been to during your life. I’m hoping to bring my total up this year with a planned trip to Vietnam (yes, eagle-eyed readers will spot that I was supposed to be there a few weeks ago, but [...]

Things that p*ssed me off today…. * My local cinema isn’t “with it” enough to offer an RSS feed of what they are showing. * People who use horrible colour schemes on their websites – haven’t you worked out that I don’t want to read small orange text on a dancing multi-coloured background yet? * Blogs that have [...]
I got my haircut today, and it’s short! It hasn’t been this short in about 7 years…. I was just sick of the way it was hanging down, straight and long and I couldn’t do anything with it at all… so with the wedding next year and after sorting through a bunch of [...]
It’s been ages since I posted, but hopefully I’ll get more regular at this again… I finally got around to updating my website and worked out how to host my own blog, and even modified the style sheets for it myself! HTML is not as easy as people make out – the basic idea theories [...]
