July 31, 2005How many designers does it take to change a lightbulb?I mean this quite literally. Who hasn't come across one of these modern ceiling lights where changing a lightbulb involves a major exercise in deconstruction? It's the same with windows. All windows appear to be designed by men who have...Read this update July 27, 2005Writing WoesOne week and one day to go to Worldcon, 4 months membership of my writers' group and I have achieved nothing: 1 story iced because it is crap (and I didn't even think of the ending, John did. But it...Read this update July 22, 2005Whales might flyI had to check the date upon seeing the above headline in this week's New Scientist, but it is definitely not April 1st. Grey whales (Eschrichtius robustus) have been hunted to extinction in the Atlantic in the early 1700s, but...Read this update July 14, 2005On the Cusp of new TechnologyThree weeks to go until WorldCon! I'm excited; I have never been to a convention before but imagine it to be like a conference with only fun items on the agenda. There is actually an 'academic' programe where stern people...Read this update July 13, 2005July 12, 2005Pontefract Liquorice FestivalThe Pontefract Liquorice Festival, a two day showcase of culinary and artistic delights to do with all things liquorice and Pontefract, is taking place in the Yorkshire town this weekend (16-17 July).

The papers talked about little else but even though there must have been over thirty of us gathered in New Cross on Friday, no-one talked about the attacks. On the way home, the streets were perhaps...Read this update July 06, 2005London scoops Olympic bidOhmygod! —Should I laugh or should I cry... Great promises have been made to the denizens of the neglected wastelands of East London, but I can already see the greed glinting in people's eyes. I guess we can forget about...Read this update G8 rantWhat is the matter with the G8 protesters? Don't they know where Gleneagles is? Now they are rioting in Stirling of all places. Doubtlessly, they have made Sheriff Wyllie Robertson's day—finally he gets to fill up his jails—but some of...Read this update July 05, 2005On the move again (1)Predictably, the time has come to move yet again and, predictably, it isn't to sunny Brisbane or vibrant London. Our Landlady wants to put the house back on the market and I for one am not sorry to see it...Read this update July 03, 2005How American are you?Not very, but apparently still more so than some... You Are 23% AmericanYou're as American as Key Lime Tofu Pie Otherwise known as un-American! You belong in Cairo or Paris... Get out fast - before you end up in Gitmo!...Read this update |
