Various bits today, as I discovered a horribly funny online t-shirt shop today, which will actually offend some of you, so don’t go here if you’re the type that’s easily offended.
The t-shirt show here is one of the less offensive ones!
A lot of people I know at the moment seem to be buying new cars, [...]

It’s official, the new Dr. Who is fab! And I’m not just saying that because I’m BBC a bod. Honest.
Anyway, happy easter, don’t forget to put your clocks forward one hour if you’re in the UK, and don’t get fat eating your easter eggs all at one, okay?

Just in case you’ve been living in a time warp or something this week, then you can’t fail to have noticed all the plugging and the publicity for the new series of Dr. Who which starts tonight on BBC1 at 7pm.
I just thought I’d join in with the gratuitous plugging of it by mentioning it [...]

So I went to see my sister today, off the back of her house catching fire last week.
They’d had people in to clean up, and decorators to re-paint and stuff so there are no lasting signs of real damage, but there is a nasty lingering ‘burnt’ smell about the place. The fire brigade though have [...]

Bizarre. Apparantly, not only do I look like the sort of person that people talk to on buses and trains, and for teenagers to request illegal alcohol and drugs for them, but today I got accosted by a white van man whilst driving my car! It was really odd.
I was sat at a red traffic [...]

Went to football today (after a very heavy Friday night out drinking. Tip: You don’t have to have your traditional half-time pint like I didn’t if you have a bad hangover, ok?), but I did bring on a massive celebratory-induced headache when I jumped up and down when cheering our second goal going in when [...]

Worky work work, back to work then, but how good was it to have the first decent warm day of the year and be able to sit outside for lunch like I did? Lovely.
My cousin Phil (#315) asked me today if I ever got my money back from Vue cinemas, and it reminded me that [...]

I’m back, but I’m a little bit tired. I’ll get back on the computer tomorrow. It’s worth mentioning though that I counted twenty-six mosquito bites on myself in the bath this afternoon, and that according to the nice German couple that I sat next to on the plane home last night, I have a now [...]

So … funerals. They’re fun aren’t they? Actually, it wasn’t as bad as you might of thought it would have been in the end, but it was a bit weird for me meeting a whole bunch of the family in one go that I hadn’t previously met at such a somber occasion.
The only point that [...]

My girlfriends grandmother - who we were due to visit later this week - died last night. Just like that. Taken ill late on in the evening, was rushed to hospital, operated on, but then passed away in the early hours. I now have a funeral to go to, instead of a ‘drop by and [...]

Rubbish collecting day in the part of Durban that I’m staying in is on Monday, and so as in England everyone leaves their black bagged rubbish out the front of their house to be collected.
What you don’t get back home though is people who then patrol the local neighbourhood, waiting for the rubbish to be [...]

Ok, you see now I have plenty I can feel I can waffle on for about for a bit.
Got into my holiday reading in real holiday mode today. ie. I was sat on the verandah again, feet up, with a fresh beer from the fridge … a gecko crawled along the wall that was shaded [...]
