Shome mishtake shorely!! Well, captions like "Already a big star on Norwegian TV, Triana isn't shy about baring all for the camera" (p38, current issue) don't read themselves, you know. :) But tomorrow morning, it'll be back to the Škvorecký while waiting at out-patients clinic at the h...

Don't know if it counts as reading but my copy of the November issue of Maxim arrived yesterday (yes, I am a 42 year old lad-mag subscriber...) and it contains (p46) what passes for an interview with (OB actor) Jason Flemyng. No CH-related trivia - the "interview" is on the level of "...

Aaaarrrrr! Cap'n J.R. be right, he be, mateys. Avast do make scurvy viruses walk the plank.

I'm an advocate of British Summertime all year round. We're currently in our general election season (http://www.vote.je/). First round voting is on 15th October, and this year it's combined with a referendum on moving to CET (Central European Time). Guernsey have basically intimated that they'd mo...

Well, Blunden fans have not come swarming out of the woodwork, so it's probably safe to post another parody. This one's by Evoe (E.V. Knox) published in "These Liberties" in 1923 (probably reprinted from "Punch"). The Cigarette Gatherer Now all the lispering runnels are dried up ...

Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com Graphic viewer/management program, Very useful for batch resizing/renaming, simple editing, cropping etc. Wouldn't be without it. CoffeeCup Free HTML editor http://www.coffeecup.com/ Not bad for a simple editor. I now do most of my basic HTML coding in CoffeeCup (I...

As good an excuse as any I've heard In this case the plain varnished truth. I'd rather have been stretched out on the item of furniture, reading in the sun, than undertaking the maintenance - but I had to take advantage of what might be the last dry weekend for a while. Back on topic, GAT Allan als...

My handy copy of GAT Allan (revised Morpurgo) explains that "as the school was ready for occupation in September, 1552, the following St. Matthew's Day fell at the end of a complete financial year" and that "St. Matthew's Day was, by Act of Parliament, the day on which the lists of Go...

Sex and the City - and the band! Nice juxtaposition

Someone's got a set of pics up at Flickr:

Regarding the BP there are so many treatments that you should try a different one and see if that helps. I've changed doctor, and am now getting more sense out of this one than the last one. But back to the reading matter... Am enjoying the Škvorecký. It's a polyphonic meander through Dvořák's ...

Hope you are not poorly, Geraint. I broke my wrist at the end of April (fell off my bike); the pills I was prescribed for blood pressure have been making me unacceptably giddy (and therefore more likely to fall off my bike now I'm back cycling); but mostly I've got an ear problem and have finally g...

Now onto Škvorecký's annoying diacritic-less Dvorak in Love , but have been diverted by some new arrivals. When I arrived home yesterday evening I found a sack, yes, an actual sack, sitting on the doorstep: the latest arrivals from US second-hand book dealers (the wonders of online book search). S...
