Slow week this week, weather in Cambridge has been fairly good so not the usual depression- managed to get to the waterside for some drinks a few nights during the week. BrightonSaturday in Brighton with friends. I liked Brighton- somewhat different from what I expected it to be. I guess the biggest difference was just […]

Had dinner/drinks with one of my friends from school (secondary) last night. We live about 5 mins from each other, but only get a chance to meet up at the most twice a year (at the very most) due to work/family life. I took the following picture which summaries the atmosphere. Actually it’s a pretty […]

So, back in the Sunny UK… As usual arriving back at Heathrow was the usual shambles, 30 mins or so ahead of schedule but of course needed to circle London for a while. It does make me laugh all the eco-intiatives that take place on the land at Heathrow (like towing ‘planes out of the […]

Okay, so this location based web thing really is beginning to p*** me off. I want to login to Blogger to make some changes. I don’t understand Arabic, so figured if I log into Google then maybe it might just figure out I am from the UK and so switch back to English. Yeh, great […]

.. I can actually post blog entries without understanding Arabic ! I hate location based content. For example, on blogger all the text at the top menu is in Arabic. I didn’t learn that at school (took woodwork instead) hence navigating the site is slightly difficult. I can’t get onto the o2 website to order […]

Went to the pub after a long day at work last night- needed a Scotch & Soda to try and relax. I really dislike the sense of humour some people have around Cambridge – the sort of supposed intellectual humour that involves making a joke at someone’s expense due to their wrong (or ambiguous) choice […]

I’m so tired today, yesterday (and the previous day) was a very very long day stuck on calls until very late in the evening. It isn’t helped by the fact that it’s nice and sunny outside and I can’t enjoy it !!

I took the picture below (after a few drinks) at a restaurant in Oxford a couple of weeks ago. I guess after a few glasses of wine and waiting outside the loos I got bored and started to look around for something to catch my attention (talking to people is considered inappropriate in situations like […]

aka. Crime Report… Nice bit of classic British double negative there with a European theme given the upcoming European elections (plenty of blog fodder coming later on that topic). No, this post isn’t about listening to an Edith Piaf track (which is very good btw), but instead about something mulling over my mind…. Dinner at […]

Sensible result, did anyone really think it wasn’t going to happen ?
