(Although I was toying with the idea of also calling todays post “Give a toss!”) You don’t need me to tell you that it’s pancake day, today – do you, right? Surely you know that already. But I admit that I forgot, until someone told me on the phone last night and invited me round to [...]

From a conversation at work yesterday with a male colleague, where I discovered that they had once been engaged (but never actually got married), but that in the duration HE wore an engagement ring (as well as his fiancee) – is it common for men to wear engagement rings? This led into some ‘ring research’ [...]

I’ve just been through the main entrance at work, to find that there is a large group of people and two people dressed up in fluffy ‘spud’ costumes, handing out free bags of potatoes. I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on, when one of the people of the group offered me a [...]

Ooh I dunno, say … a box of Oreo biscuits cookies for the winner? What’s the odd one out: James Brown, Kim Wilde, Green Day, Debbie Harry, Eurythmics, KLF, Red Box, Madonna and Jakatta. Think about it! In the meantime, I am desperate for a copy of Holly Johnson’s “Americanos”. Anyone got an MP3 they [...]

I liked my ’10 things’ about the USA so much last time, I thought I’d do it again … 1) I went the whole week without spending any money. Ok – slight lie – I went the whole week without drawing any cash from any ATM’s. I realised this after about the third day, and [...]

Well it seems like my ‘tour guide’ missed out on showing me some of the sights. So I’m heading west again for a week, taking my germs with me. A pressurised cabin for nine hours should do my throat the world of good. Expect a post or two therefore from iBlog USA over the next [...]

Definetely a better episode this week than either of the two last week. And this was the best line. Anyone know who does or what the theme music actually is though? ‘coz I really really like it! (And I’d just like to point out that I’m 33 and work on the 7th floor with a [...]

Ok, I officially have the worst runny nose & sore throat that I have experienced for years, and normally these things clear themselves up for me after a few days – a week at the most – but this time it would seem not so. This one just doesn’t seem to be going away and [...]

So I went to the dentist yesterday – for the first time in just over 10 years I think. Hold that shrill! Yes I know it’s a long time, and no I haven’t got a phobia about going to the dentist like some people have … it was just one of those things that I [...]

Another day, another good deed, and another Netgear DG384 setup and put in place. Seriously – what is it with the popularity of these wireless routers all of a sudden? “Happy to help” Geoff has now found himself round at three seperate people’s houses in the last two weeks, setting up their wireless broadband for [...]

I work on the 7th floor at work. Today I go buy a sandwich and drink at lunchtime from the ground floor. Then head back to my office on the seventh. I get in the the lift on the ground floor. There is one other person in the lift, the floor ’2′ button is already [...]

Last week, I thought Apple were wonderful. Today – not so much. I’ve discovered a bug in my iPod (or iTunes really), and for the very first time I feel quite disappointed as Apple don’t really seem keen on fixing a problem which you get on the new video iPods – a new problem which [...]
