Of Mice and Boney M
In: diary
30 Mar 2006I was thinking today about the extended album version of Rasputin by Boney M. What I liked about it was that rather than just extend the groove as most dance records of there age did, they wrote another couple of verses, so you learn even more about the history of Rasputin. My only regret is [...]

27 Mar 2006My brother-in-law has started (after a little nagging from me) his first blog, mainly devoted to following Liverpool Football Club, and reviewing games. Well worth a look I say.

A tale of two jugglers
In: diary
26 Mar 2006Once upon a time there was a juggler called Chris Bliss. Chris had a routine that was the finale to his act, where he juggled in time to a Beatles song. It was quite impressive, to the untrained eye (I am mainly an untrained eye, let me say). Watch it:
Now, this video did the rounds [...]
And what have I done now?
In: diary
24 Mar 2006I did it. I went and set up a wrestling blog. I know.
Wrestling With Consciousness
It is an almost all-wrestling (with some occasional cheese reviews) blog, and gets me writing on a consistant single subject, which I think is a more formal blog environment. Good writing practice, and means you don’t have to read about it [...]
How Nintendo nearly wrecked my back
In: diary
21 Mar 2006I was mentioning earlier that I’m having a bit of trouble with the sciatic nerves in my back. I thought it might be worth mentioning how I damaged them in the first place. Gameboy.
When I first went to university, after a few months I decided to treat myself to the latest in console gaming, the [...]
ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
In: diary
21 Mar 2006Right, couple of decisions have been made. Firstly, I am going to try and set a regular time to blog. After tea, whilst we watch Deal or No Deal. I’m only sat there being sarcastic, so it is time to put that time to better use.
Secondly, I am going to try and start up a [...]

Second child syndrome
In: diary
16 Mar 2006I must give a quick plug to a friend of mine, Em, who is starting a blog about her pregnancy with her second child. She is a very good writer, and I thoroughly assure you there will be more to it than just complaining about piles. Although she may, I do not wish to suggest [...]
