I’ve got time to write a little something before getting into my New Years Eve glad rags. Firstly, I want to thank everyone who’s continued visiting despite the updates being few and far between, especially those who’ve taken the time to post comments. Normally I consider it only polite to respond to comments, but due [...]
Assuming I get through my long list of to-dos for today, I’ll post properly later on. In the meantime, I want to wish you all a Happy Festivus!
One of the essential parts of the Festivus for the rest of us is airing of grievances, and I fully intend to honour this tradition by posting a [...]
Perhaps I should rename my site Badger’s World of Shame; I’ve had such a busy couple of months that my blog has had to take a back seat. Anyway, I’ll save that for another time… for now what I want to say is that I arrived back at home in London at 6pm today, left [...]
The first defeat in the Commons for Nu Labour and Blair’s deranged post-vote interviews has given me the biggest smile of the day, but this came a close distant second: the Ridgid Tools ladies (’75–’76).
So, today’s the day when we get to find out how few MPs have any principles or backbone left, as the Government seeks approval for its most appalling assault on civil liberties yet:
After a succession of U-turns and mixed messages, ministers have decided to stick to their original plan to give the police unprecedented powers [...]
And my Amusing Search Engine Referral of the Week award goes to: we needs a drummer, give us a drummer you search-engine shit!!! preferably a sane one
Hanni’s treated herself to an iBook, and has posted some observations after a few weeks of using it. I can’t believe I’ve been using mine for so long without knowing the key combo for #. Terribly embarrassing. Right, I’m off to type lots of CSS IDs, HTML entities and PHP comments with new-found efficiency…
Blunkett’s resigned, again, having proved he’s still not quite got the hang of that not-mixing-business-with-pleasure thing. Now not wanting to sound smug, but I like to think my Blunkett Voodoo Doll played a small part in this. Again. Of course I’ll be keeping the doll around for the day when Blair inevitably gives Blunkett a [...]
Rob and I popped along to the Mac Expo at Olympia today, hoping to tinker with some shiny new gadgets and software. You know, expensive toys that we could convince ourselves would change our lives for the better. Unfortunately we left disappointed by the show; half the stands seemed to be selling iPod covers and [...]
I know my blog’s been looking a little unloved of late, so I’m determined to get back to the once-a-day+ posting of old. I was actually planning to post a long piece about my ordeal of building a new PC, but then the South East Asia earthquake happened, and my ordeal didn’t exactly seem much [...]
And it’s good night from him…
Sadly comedy legend Ronnie Barker has died at the age of 76.
I was planning to have an early night tonight, but instead I find myself waiting for my next door neighbour’s living room window to be boarded up at 3am.
At about one o’clock this morning I heard some noise which I initially put down to my cat Patty playing. When I realised the noise was out [...]
I’ve just been reading David Mery’s account of his arrest on the tube. Not only was he arrested and placed in a cell, but some of his personal possessions were confiscated, his flat was searched, computer equipment and data were removed, and his fingerprints and DNA were taken (to be stored indefinitely). His crime? Carrying [...]
