Guise Dugal: Kyah! (Drops from the ceiling dressed in black hoodie, pants and black towel wrapped around neck)
Dugal Dugal: Holy cr…
Guise: Hi?
Dugal: Dude, what the hell?! Where’d you come from, and what the hell is up with you voice?
Guise: Ah…you noticed my manly, gravelly growl?
Dugal: It sounds like strep…
Guise: No, I’m…BatRogue! I talk like this [...]

The Full Monty

19 July, 2008 (12:36) | Uncategorized | 11 comments

The Full English Breakfast, or fry up, is one of those traditions in the UK that most people will be familiar with, from truck drivers in greasy spoon cafes to high-flying business people in swanky hotels, even little kids are bought up knowing about the hearty breakfast.
The majority of British hotels, restaurants, canteens and [...]

Where I Wasn’t, But Almost Was…

31 May, 2008 (12:33) | Uncategorized | 22 comments

It’s been a while folks and I can confirm, I’m not dead. I’ve just been remiss in my duties. Now some people may wonder just where I’ve been and what exciting adventures I’ve been up to, expecting tales of sun drenched beaches or fantastic hotels with crappy facilities, or talk about how much I dislike [...]

Just What Is The Deal With Fish Anyway?

13 May, 2008 (18:20) | Uncategorized | 13 comments

I was talking to Dio today - as I am always very happy to be able to do - and the subject came up about pets, having derailed it from being nothing at all about animals to begin with (but then I’m not really known for staying consistently on subject).
As we talked about our past [...]

Less A Shout, More A Whisper To The Ear

9 May, 2008 (13:08) | Uncategorized | 14 comments

They say that great minds think alike, but what they fail to add is that lessor minds like mine may also pick up signals from greater minds.
For the last few days, an idea evolved in my head that originated from DJ D and Dan complementing me on this blog, which I wanted some way [...]

6 Things…

6 May, 2008 (13:57) | Uncategorized | 7 comments

So, there I was quietly sat in contemplation - what I was contemplating I can’t quite remember, though it was likely maudlin introspection or pining - when I felt a sudden force strike me across the back of the head, startling me to my senses. My hand held to the back of my head, I [...]

Comics Clearing…

30 April, 2008 (15:37) | Uncategorized | 15 comments

Oh boy and gee wilikers, I just spent the afternoon seperating comics that I want to keep from comics that I want to part with. It’s quite a large amount, but not really enough to dent the collection too badly.
I haven’t actually sorted through what is amongst the parting crowd, but theres a pretty [...]

Monsters In The UK…Not Just Chavs And Pikeys!

5 April, 2008 (20:03) | Uncategorized | 25 comments

This is the first post dedicated to Dan after his win in the Easter Egg Hunt. His chosen topic was: “some of the folklore of the UK”. So, I’m going to give a brief overview of the subject, because it’d be a bit of a bugger to collect it all!
I’m going to avoid the Celtic [...]

Supernatural-Size Me!

3 April, 2008 (20:24) | Uncategorized | 11 comments

This is the post dedicated to Dio after her win in the Easter Egg Hunt. Her chosen topic was: “I think you’ll know what I like (and no I don’t mean furry smut, kthxbye).” Yeah, that was a major cop out right there, everybody noticed it, right?
Of the subjects that I know Dio is fairly [...]

It Isn’t The Winning Or Losing That Matters…

31 March, 2008 (11:40) | Easter, Seasonal, Uncategorized | 21 comments

I like getting things for free, I’ve said it before and I’ll damn well say it again. I love the idea of having to put in minimal or no effort to be rewarded with something I obviously don’t deserve if I can’t afford it myself.
On a routine basis I enter a week-load of competitions and [...]

Improvisation Is A Parlour Trick

5 March, 2008 (14:56) | Uncategorized | 26 comments

My brother and I moved in to this place in September 2007, on the tenth of this month it’ll be the six month anniversary. In some cases I’m still living out of the boxes I used to move stuff with. I still don’t have proper curtains in my room or bookcases to store things. However, [...]

Old Man Stubbyfingers

26 February, 2008 (15:51) | Uncategorized | 11 comments

I was going to post this before, but I forgot about it until yesterday. Earlier on in the month, Matt over at X-Entertainment.com, commented on a PSA advert about drink driving which had given himself and some of his readers a case of the spooks as children. During the course of discussion, DJ D made [...]

The Eye-Burning Era Has Ended…

22 February, 2008 (23:30) | Uncategorized, YouTube | 18 comments

After my last entry complained of the Emil Effect of the replacement CRT monitor, and following a period of adjusting settings and layouts to accommodate the less defined screen, I had a pleasant surprise arrive this morning.

Although I had been told that my new monitor would be delivered in three weeks when I ordered it [...]

The Eye-Burning Era Has Begun…

21 February, 2008 (14:16) | Uncategorized | No comments

At the start of the week my wonderful little TFT monitor, which I’ve had for two years, started to have a few problems coming back to picture after a shutdown. This was getting frankly annoying as the only way to bring the monitor back to life was a hard reboot of the entire system.
I tried [...]

Going Out With A Bang…

3 February, 2008 (21:21) | Uncategorized | 4 comments

The young female superheroine and Jensen Button ’squee’r, DistractoGirl from LiveJournal, and I were discussing how annoying it is to have to attend a service - for example, a wedding - when you haven’t been provided a dress code.

Now, the likelihood of me asking people to attend a wedding or a christening in the near, [...]

A Rambling We Will Go…

4 January, 2008 (17:14) | Uncategorized, Website | No comments

Just before the New Year began I decided that I wanted to get back in to writing. It seemed to me that in 2007, as compared to the previous few years, I had lost a lot of the motivation and ability to write in either quality or quantity, most of my writing had become overly technical [...]

Just A Quick Thing

20 November, 2007 (14:24) | Uncategorized | No comments

Bright spinning lights. Huge industrial engines pushing heavy machinery. Music thumping from speakers so loud and close you can fill the impact in your chest. Cold rain hitting your forehead. Girls in revealing outfits - some very well toned - all chained to articulated vehicles and gyrating as they appear before you. Older people strapped [...]

Property Protection

23 September, 2007 (16:18) | Uncategorized | 7 comments

I thought I’d share with you what I told about the advantages about this place as regards to protecting our property, nay our lives, as far as this new flat is concerned against what is a very real threat to our way of life. No, I’m not talking terrorists, burglars, chavs or the welsh. [...]

Location, Location, Location

23 September, 2007 (15:53) | Uncategorized | No comments

So, despite a rocky start and an aching spine, we are all now moved and, for the most part unpacked. and I are getting things sorted out quite swiftly, and the first set of the mythical ‘new stuff’ will be coming by the end of a fortnight. It wasn’t quite as easy as first [...]
