New PC
Something I do want to do this year is upgrade my PC which is something I get around to doing every couple of years or so. This year I won’t necessarily be relegating my old PC parts to the loft as I think I’m going to finally need to set up a dedicated server [...]
Stuff
Such a descriptive title.
I have a load of posts going around in my head – some about recent happenings (both personal and current affairs), some about past happenings (what did happen up a scottish mountain in October and just how good were Nine Inch Nails in March?) and some about future events (consider this due [...]
Transport for Dragon
Lyle got himself a new car.

300 (USA, 2007)
d. Zack Snyder
w. Zack Snyder: based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel
s. Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, Dominic West, David Wenham
I didn’t like 300. I’d go so far as to say that I hated it. In fact I was absolutely fucking disgusted by the whole film. It wasn’t the violence though nor the poetic [...]
Jet Set Willy
A jetsetting life is not what it’s cracked up to be. 21 hours after I got up this morning I can finally go to bed.
No doubt I will be woken up in 4 hours by a-coughin’ and a-wheezin’, plague ridden son. I wonder if I can pretend to be dead.
