Friday roundup

Friday, July 29th, 2005

How great is this? Contributor Zoe (#98) sent me a picture yesterday of her mum on holiday, in Nepal - with Mount Everest in the background, and she’s wearing an iContributed t-shirt - marvelous!
This reminds me though that there were a couple of other people that I sent ‘iContributed’ t-shirts to around the world who [...]

News. On Tour. In Toon Town.

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

“Where are you?” exclaim several emails in my inbox today. Honestly, you go ‘away’ for four days and everyone starts to nag. Then you wonder if people do actually take in things that I write because I quite clearly wrote “I am going to Newcastle with BBC News on Tour and don’t know [...]

That Friday Feeling

Friday, July 22nd, 2005

Are you feeling terrified yet? I do hope not, because the only way to get through this is to think “Fuck you” to them all and carry on with your life, no matter what happens. So yes, to everyone that has asked - the ‘Not afraid’ Tube Relief run is still very much on!
Bizarrely [...]

Again?

Shit.
Tube system shut down following blasts: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4703777.stm

If you believe, there’s nothing up their sleeve …

Did you know that it’s 36 years ago today that man landed on the moon?
Sorry - I’ll repeat that.
Did you know that it’s 36 years ago today that man supposedly landed on the moon?
Those fun folk at Google do which is why they’re providing you with the opportunity to scoot around the lunar surface here [...]

Skinner Stalking : Very much planned

Monday, July 18th, 2005

Honestly, you turn you back for two minutes and someone else on the sweepstake has popped their clogs. Hello, goodbye, and start pushing up the daisies please to Sir Edward Heath, who gave up the ghost tonight and is another one that can now be crossed off at www.deathlist.net.
Yesterday, my physiotherapist centre (Metis) sent me [...]

Just give in

Sunday, July 17th, 2005

Two quick things. Oh, plus a couple of other things.
The ‘One London Bomber Died in Blast� story got the most hits ever as far as I’m aware in the history of BBC News Online/Interactive on Tuesday with 2,256,981 people looking at it. That’s quite a lot of hits!
Need to get your girlfriend something for her [...]

Fat, Fuck and Frank, yeah?

Friday, July 15th, 2005

This is going to be a terribly bland entry (two on the trot!) as I forget to upload the pictures I was going to use to talk about this. I’m not really a fan of bland, text only blogs, so I hope you won’t do what I do when I just see text text [...]

Yawn … and then silence

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

I’m on nightshifts until the weekend now, which means that I should be asleep at midday today when there will be a two minute silence in memory of last weeks victims.
So whatever you’re doing at midday today, please consider to take 2 minutes out of your day, and encourage others to do likewise.
Neil & I [...]

More frivolity

Wednesday, July 13th, 2005

“Come on Geoff” I hear you shout, “Where’s all those frivilous links, fun and games that we’ve come to expect from our daily does of ‘Geofftech’?”. God you’re a demanding lot, but today I shall give you two to entertain youself.
First, from my cousin Phil (#315) is “Something to lighten the mood” - a [...]

Normality (Of sorts)

Monday, July 11th, 2005

Has anyone actually seen the new Dairy Milk chocolate bars with orange chips in them? I haven’t, and it’s really bugging me. I’ve seen the adverts - but not the product, and I hate it when that happens.
So if you’ve seen them in your local shop - or better still have bought one and eaten [...]

The day after

Saturday, July 9th, 2005

So I had the urge to go into town yesterday. I had to go and see it for myself as there was a little bit of me that almost didn’t believe it and I needed to see signs of disruption for myself. I know it’s morbid, but the BBC television news coverage I thought was [...]
