Visiting Harrods yesterday to finish off some of the items on our wedding list we came across the now infamous statue of Dodi and Diana. I’ll be honest, its not as bad as we thought it would be, the only really borderline aspect of the sculpture is the open-shirtedness that Dodi is rather dodgily sporting. [...]
Beavers are back in England for the first time in 500 years. Hurrah! How I have missed the little critters.
The Met Office are predicting an exceptionally cold winter this year, maybe one as cold as those in the early ’60s. But before you all scoff at the suggestion, quoting now infamous storm denials that later ravaged southern England, you should realise that since then they have acquired systems of stunning accuracy which while not [...]
More ranting along the lines of the we’re all going to the dogs thanks to socialism.

Its rather ironic that both Bin Laden and Bush quite often like to claim that God is on their side in their war against each other even more so now that America has been battered by hurricane and Pakistan by earthquake. Maybe God is merely sick to the back teeth with both of [...]
Its the end of an era and its time for me to say goodbye to a trusted old friend that is my Nikon Coolpix 2500 digital camera. It finally gave up the ghost after delivering a mighty 3742 digital photos over a period of three years and endured the most horrendous abuse from its butter-fingered [...]
