Spider?

Okay okay OKAY I’ve caved in - I’ll tell you what happened to the spider.
So there I am with a pint glass containing the biggest spider in the world, a piece of card on top to stop him jumping out and strangling me…..but…..the bathroom window is closed.
What did I do?
Well, hurrah for boobs is [...]

Good news, and an early inheritance!

Remember how I was working on my brief project plan for my looming dissertation? Got back end of last week, marked, with feedback.
Got 72% woo-hoo - which is a First! This is such a good start. The brief project plan is worth 5% of the dissertation, which is worth 60% of the third year, which [...]

Joint presents!!!

I had a conversation tonight with someone about birthday presents. My birthday is the 28th December so the poor innocent soul commented on how much easier it would be to buy a joint present.
Joint present?

Anyone who has a birthday either side of Christmas knows precisely what I mean about the despair and unfairness of [...]

A Sci-fi Sulk

One of my all-time favourite sci-fi series is Lexx. For anyone who doesn’t know it’s about a loser, a sex-slave, a robot head and a dead assassin who first escape, then return, then defeat the baddie all the while with the help of their living spaceship Lexx.
And it’s bloody brilliant.
It was on Channel 5 when [...]

Update

Quick update:
The new snake has regurgitated three of it’s five pinkies so it can now finally get out of it’s plastic tree stump. I’ve decided to call it Miami, because it helps me remember what variety it is …although Tubbs really suits it better.
The Lentil-Munchers haven’t responded but are studiously ignoring me, which suits [...]

Brick walls and bags of rocks

Warning - LONG post!
Have you ever felt like banging your head against a brick wall? Have you ever actually done it - figuratively speaking that is - so hard and so often that the blood is pouring down your face….and the person you are disagreeing with just says ‘What wall?’
I’ve been watching a thread over [...]

AbuseTube

YouTube is one of my favourite sites. I love finding funny videos but even better I like to find loads of music, current and past favourites that I can listen to whilst I’m surfing around or working.
One of the facilities on YouTube is that you can leave comments. I seriously believe that if YouTube want [...]
