Race over.
In: diary
28 Aug 2007Well, I survived the go-karting. Actually enjoyed it a lot, although I still ache from it. I managed 35 laps out of 50 before my arms fell off, or as good as. What I was happy with was that I was in control throughout, and was able on occasion to get up a good rate [...]
Head full of rubbish tonight.
In: diary

Add some links back in, neaten up the sidebar and suchlike. Then I’ll start thinking about themes. For reasons that aren’t entirely clear to me, [...]
Last night ended up as a Larry Sanders marathon. I’ve been taping them on my Sky+ box, and decided to watch a couple, and just couldn’t stop. Brilliant stuff, some of the best comedy writing there is. It got me wondering why there aren’t more shows on this level. I got to thinking about Garry [...]

5 Aug 2007Still not much interest in the national press about the people who actually suffered in the floods, but on a more positive front, an Oxford resident has now been cautioned for the infamous grope.

How do we stop the Starbucksification of the Cowley Road?
In: comment
22 Aug 2007The Cowley Road in Oxford is starting to change shape at the moment. Not in terms of it being dug up and rerouted, as seems to happen every few months, but instead the start of its Starbucksification. There is always a churn of shops on such roads, but it does seem to be the start [...]
