Contemporary rousing orchestral beauty by the Divine Comedy http://blip.fm/~pjlsu I love the clichéd teenage expressions that spark memories
Turning into a medal addict. I have a 10k run in a couple of weeks and now my mate is talking me into a 10K run/20M cycle/10k Run. Crazy

I can't watch Gordon Brown, I know it's pathetic but when he does that weird mouth thing - I keep thinking he is going to vomit.
Looks like the housing market bubble is inflating in preparation for a more catastrophic POP http://bit.ly/9DNIfM There goes my sweat equity
Don't you love it when a bank holiday sneaks up on you - YAY! http://bankholiday.kitt.net/
I have never been a Conservative supporter, BUT they're proposing to scrap Labour's dystopian nightmare national ID card. BLOODY WELL DONE!

Youtube integration has completely ruined blip.fm, it's now a disorganised low-bitrate mess. Feature creep strikes again. Back to last.fm.

Thanks to Dan for keeping me from going insane on my crazy trip around europe. Almost home now.
Arrived, Kings cross closed due to fire alert, joy. More problems
Train has now popped out of the chunnel into the UK, never been so glad to be home. Should be home before 11pm at the rate.
Almost at the tunnel mouth now. Begbie is buying all the drinks, rude to say no.
Eurostar �223 for standing room only. Can't complain really, VERY happy to be heading home.
Got our tickets! Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa
Sorry - that last update didn't make a lot of sense :D Basically, on a blooming fast train at the moment.
300km (186.4mph) an hour on a train right now, it is not natural.
Yay, smuggled on to the train and heading down from Amsterdam to Paris. Looks like I will make it home tonight after all.
At schiphol airport train station, our big plan is to get on the high speed train for which we do not have a ticket.
Me and my colleague Dan have managed to get eurostar cancellations.... from Paris, so now we have to try and get there before 8pm. Happier!
Might have to work my way down to Paris & fight my way on to eurostar on cancellation. Ferry, Air, Train are booked or cancelled for 4 days

My hotel room has 2 TVs, an office and lounge area, breakfast bar and, wait for it, a 10' bed - seriously!
Travelled on lots of Belgium trains today, scary. In Amsterdam now, hotel room the size of my house. Volcano messing up flights still. DAMN!
Off to Sunny Belgium, why is it so light at this time of the morning?

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Damn, told Penny that I was going to the pub for a quick pint and I have to get up at 5am to fly to Belgium.
Son1 just counted all the way to 100

Watching Dirty Harry on BluRay, happy :D
14k run last night, feeling it today. Lech Kaczynski is dead, bit of a shocker.
It's like summer today. In the park with the kids having a lovely time.

Ordered a 2TB NAS Backup Device with DLNA & RAID0/1. I am quite excited, what does that tell you.

Monday, April 05, 2010

Got some nice new running gear; shirt, shorts & socks, so I at least look the part. Heading out with an extended running crew tonight including my OH.
Son1 offered me his last rolo without any understanding that it is a pop culture marketing idiom representing a gesture of love. Ahhhh sweet.
