The headline in the Sunday Times this weekend read “Britain’s elite get pills to survive bird flu”. The first thing that occurred to me was why was it that nobody seems the slightest bit upset by this news, i.e. the blatant disregard for the safety of the ordinary citizens of this country while the elite [...]
St Mary’s Church, Chelsea was the beautiful setting for Chris and Portia’s wedding, 26th August 2005.
It was a very romantic day and we wish them both every happiness.
Followed by a reception at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park.
It seems not so long ago we were all bachelors but in quick succession (within a year) Rick, Myself and [...]
Much to my surprise someone has written a review of my website. Its in Spanish but fortunately as I am married to a Spanish lady that is no barrier to me. Its a charming review although a little tongue in cheek (sarcastic even) and I found it quite amusing. Its true what he says, that [...]

Having recently been to Angkor Wat I found Mr.Gray’s article on the temple complex quite interesting, a few things the official guide didn’t mention but then again he brings up a [...]
Sony in a desperate measure to take some of the wind out of Apple’s sails introduce the Walkman Bean. It seems to just be a gimmicky take on the iPod Shuffle, which I think is crap too. I don’t think people will rush out and buy one but my money is on the success of [...]
The New York Times Video - The iPod Flea
Apple have established a certain religious fervour in their techno-loving fans for everything Apple as they re-vamp the portable music player market from where the Sony Walkman dropped the proverbial ball.
This amusing spoof ad video hits the mark quite nicely.
Back home at last after a while away and I am finally a married man (with some help from Helena). Does it feel any different? Yes. Am I happy? Definitely! If you asked me what the major difference was I’d say that I feel very much part of a team, that whatever happens from now [...]
