Meme

If I ever had a band it would be called Tin chloride
Our first album would be called limits of the world
The cover would look like this


This is a fun meme. Click here for your band name, click here and use the last four words as your first album, and click here and get the 3rd picture in the row as your album cover.

Some tickets still available...

I was looking at the BBC website and saw the section 'apply for tickets' so I thought I would see what's on:

"Hey Hey We're The Monks": Thirty-one, unemployed and single, Gary Woodcroft has never done a single useful thing in his life. There aren’t many places so chronically understaffed that they’d take on someone of Gary’s prospects so the unexpected vacancy at Buckley Abbey is a Godsend. Plus the food’s free, the accommodation’s free and, if he’s honest the vow of celibacy doesn’t make that much difference.

It has been described as "Father Ted meets Men Behaving Badly", from the sound of it I would describe it as "scraping the barrel".

I think I might decline.

Lands end to John O'Groats

This weekend just gone a group of doctors and a nurse set off to cycle the almost 1,000 mile journey from one end of the UK to the other in aid of the Bristol Children's Hospital intensive care unit
Have a look here for details and sponsorship.

K800

I now have a new mobile phone, a Sony Ericsson K800, which I am rather impressed with at the moment - I am connected to the internet at broadband speed, and am now going to get rid of my home phone line and broadband connection - why pay extra when for £12.50 I can have unlimited internet wherever I am.

Red Nose Rally Karaoke - I'm Too Sexy (in Italian)

Me singing Right Said Fred's I'm Too Sexy... in Italian.

An entry for Red Nose Rally Karaoke 'rallyoke', or more acurately me making a fool of myself... again.



New version with correct audio/video sync.

As heard on Scott Mills' Radio 1 Show:

On the radio

Today and yesterday I had stories read out on Danny Baker's BBC London Show, and they amused me, perhaps they will amuse you?

The Beautiful South

Farewell, then, The Beautiful South, you will be missed. Thank you for all the good times, all the great concerts, all the great music.

I will always remember the first concert at Poole Arts Centre 18 April 1994 on the 'Miaow' tour, a tiny venue, and a great atmosphere. Since then Shepherd's Bush Empire a couple of times, Dalby forest, Kentish Town forum, Brixton Academy, Bristol Colston Hall, and the Bournemouth International Centre, amongst others. Over 10 gigs in 12 years or so, different every time.

Here's looking forward to new musical ventures from them in the coming years.

Brompton

Hurrah! 4 months after ordering I have finally got my Brompton, rather more orange than I had anticipated, but the more orange the better for me!

Bit of an extravagance as a student, but I wanted the tax refund to go somewhere useful rather than being frittered away, managed most of the hills I came up against, bar one - but as I knew how hilly Bristol is I ordered the bike with reduced gearing.

Look out for the more fit kylet coming your way soon!

Reflected logos

The latest thing seems to be these reflected logos, and prompted by a call for a tutorial to do so from uk.comp.sys.mac I decided to have a go, but due to the lateness of the night, it didn't come out too well. Despite having Apple's iWeb the page and logo created took longer and was more unwieldy than simply firing up The GIMP and bbedit. Also the iWeb created page didn't work in Apple's browser, Safari...

Dave Bater Cycles & Brompton mess up

This afternoon I excitedly phoned Dave Bater Cycles to check on the status of my A La Carte Brompton S-type, as when I ordered it on 19 September I was given an expected delivery date of the second week in December, 12 weeks later - a long time, but for something made-to-order a wait I was prepared for - in fact the timing would be perfect as it meant I could use the bike over my christmas holidays from uni.

However today I find Decemeber seems to have been put off until January, a 33% increase in the time from order to delivery. I am mightily annoyed, and feel I should be due some compensation for my dissapointment.
