Spurs vs Real Madrid

    Posted on by snee

    Can I just say at half-time: GARETH SOUTHGATE, SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU TWAT! Ok, so the dream is over 🙁 But what a debut – we did show the Champion’s League what it’s all about – good football. No messing about, no hanging back – the men of Spurs have lit up Europe. How many teams are now scared of the the runs down the wings from Lennon and Bale? how much threat from Modric and Kranjcar? Van Der Vaart…where do I start? And let’s not forget Essou-Ekotto and Dawson in defence…fucking awesome… Crouch has done his bit – […]

    After a week of being nagged by WordPress, I finally got around to updating to version 3.1.1…it’s not that it takes a great deal, I’m just lazy on occasion 😉 Not a great deal has happened that I can blog about really – my life is turning vanilla 😐

    Been a lonnnnnnnnnng week for me

    Monday I was up VERY early to get to Stansted and fly out to Spain. This ended up being a 25+ hour day, so Tuesday when I went into the office, I was a little bit tired…still, got through the day. Wednesday meant a trip to Birmingham to load test a couple of wheel change jacks – again, nice weather and a pleasant drive up. Didn’t take too long to get my security pass and get airside to carry out the testing and I was soon on my way back. Then I hit traffic on the M6 – turns out […]

    Geeky humour…

    So, yesterday morning, I checked my boarding pass for the flight times prior to leaving the hotel, and was somewhat amused by the flight number: Heh – FR404 – ‘flight not found’ I had visions of ‘Lost’ happening – then realised there are no beautiful desert islands travelling from Prestwick to Stansted. Meh. One other thing: it annoys me when I check-in online and have to put my nationality as ‘United Kingdom’ – I’m BRITISH FFS…

    Got to Stansted fine. As usual, about 6000000 people going through security. And so the first problem: I’ve been using the same bag for toiletries for about 2 years now and it has a split in it, so I had to put the rest of my stuff through, pay a pound to get another bag, and have them scan my deodorant and toothpaste again. Got ‘bleeped’ as a random so had the pat down search (“Anything sharp on you sir?” said pat down guy “Only my wit” came the reply). Having only notes on me I went to the info […]

    RIP: Paul Baran

    Posted on by snee

    The man who dreamt up the idea of ‘packet’ data (that’s the idea that will keep the internet running even after large parts are knocked out following a nuclear strike) died last night. “He was a man of infinite patience,” said his son David Baran. He added that his father had recently shown him a paper written in 1966 which speculated about what people would do with the telecommunication networks in the future. “It spelled out this idea that by the year 2000 that people would be using online networks for shopping and news,” he said. “It was an absolute […]

    Another weekend

    So, it was Wales vs England so my wingman (Bob) and me went into town to watch the game…and that’s where it started to go wrong… Started in the King’s Head (Hi Cilla!) – no problem there…went to the New Inn – no problem there. Second half – Cornerhouse. Oh dear…when OMAR (aka twat) told us to sit down when the anthem was being sung it started going tits up…Bob had to hustle me out of the door before I kicked off. So we went back to the King’s head, he got very, very drunk, so I took him home…and […]
