Realisation the morning after that I was passionately endorsing the quantum suicide immortality theory to colleagues http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_suicide_and_immortality

I love my wife. She thinks "50 shades of grey" is disturbing and creepy but she can't stop reading "World War Zombie". My kinda girl.

Booked tickets for my wife & I to see 2 of our favourite comedians on 2 seperate nights both called Davies - Greg & Alan. Odd Coincidence!

Son1 is rather excited about this one (so am I) http://ping.fm/cr0jn

Oh Lana Del Ray stop being to passive aggressive and let the man finish his video game.

Back from a lovely sunny family break in the south of France, to a stark winter in England it would seem.

Windy but sunny here today, kids having a great time.

Up at A&E with son3 who is did an excellent job of scaring the s**t out of us earlier. He is 100% fine of course.

I do love somegreybloke http://ping.fm/Diee1

It seems playing "left 4 dead" was good training. Loading up the shotgun. http://ping.fm/329G0

Root canal tomorrow, joy. At least I won't feel it. A friend of mine had it done without the injection!!!! Now that's brave.

This heat saps my energy. Come on brain, WAKE UP!

MY RASPBERRY PI HAS BEEN SHIPPED!!!! Happy Geek.

As a big fan of valve and a collector of toy guns (yep weird). I just couldn't let this one pass. Just ordered it. http://bit.ly/KpxPTF

When I was a child.. I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. He probably didn't see http://bit.ly/JxbTIx

Misery. Toothache.

Late night booking a short break. Now i'm up early and too tired. Heading to Amsterdam for a couple if days.

Spent a very pleasant evening in Brighton with some fine Gentlemen friends.

Spent yesterday evening making s'mores on a campfire with the pack. Great fun. Only minor smoke damage to lads.

Just saw that BASF advert again, must remember to pick up some "chemicals" when I'm down the shops. What is the point seriously?

CCTV has it's uses. Delivery truck I was expecting pulls up, driver sits in cab for 2 mins then drives away. Didn't even bother knocking.

You know you have a problem when the landlord of your local buys you a drink for being a good customer

It transpires that being able to play the ukelele is an excellent skill to have when you are a scout leader, how serendipitous.

Gone a bit iMac mad. Picked up another 20" one today. Intel this time. Bargain. Son1 loves it.

Only in England can you have 2 weeks of rain leading to swollen rivers and flood warnings combined with a hosepipe ban due to the "drought"

Scout training this evening. Apparently I have to go in full uniform! Hope I am not the ONLY person to spot this in the joining instructions

Got son2 an iMac G3, not fast enough. Got him a cute G4, still not quite there. Picking up a high spec 20" iMac G5 tonight, 3rd time lucky?

Backstage at the boiler room waiting to go on with my fellow ukuleleists and Me B

FINALLY being a parent has paid off. My eldest has just come home from school and handed me my invite to his friend's Laser Quest Party.

BLOODY HELL! I'M PLAYING AT THE GUILDFORD BOILER ROOM TONIGHT AND I HAVEN'T PRACTICED AT ALL!

Up early ironing my uniform for the parade later. First time in church for long while, hope I don't spontaneously combust on the threshold.

I have the impression, based on my wife's reaction, that the phrase "Women love a man in uniform" does not apply to Scout leaders.

It's a good job I find the pitter-patter of rain relaxing as it is all I can hear in my new loft office.

Went to IKEA, will I ever learn...

Carpet men are here installing the carpet in my loft. I have been looking forward to this day for 4 months. Sad really.

Sitting here arguing with Siri is probably not healthy. Think I will wait for the update. Basically we are officially not on speaking terms.

I saw this and it made me laugh http://ping.fm/LILlM

Sofa arrived, it looked blue in the shop, but it's blacker than the underside of a crow's wing on a dark night after falling in a coal mine.

Conversation with my wife in sofa shop. "Oh dear, look at THAT sofa". "I really like it", she says. "OK, sod it, let's get it", I reply.

Conversation with my wife in carpet shop. "Oh dear, look at THAT carpet". "I really like it", she says. "OK, sod it, let's get it", I reply.

All this talk about chocolate eggs. People should remember the true meaning of Easter. That poor bunny died for our sins!

Had a lovely week staying in a little cottage in Portscatho, Cornwall. Visited loads of places and caught up with my family.

Went to fill up my car last night and was faced with a 20 minute queue. Seems people are getting worried about the fuel strikes early.

Wow what a great sunny day. Got some stuff done in the garden. Family over for a BBQ. Fighting with 5 boys on the trampoline, so much fun.

Surprisingly chipper considering I had a bit of a mad night out. The youth of today can keep their clubs, I'll start frequenting wine bars.

I am sure I am supposed to be doing something today. Where the heck is my wife with my breakfast?

If you watched the Kony 2012 thing then you probably should watch this. http://j.mp/FOXEMb Charlie Brooker is my hero, tells it how it is.

I am not ashamed to admit that I am in love with my R.A.T. mouse. It is like something from the not too distant future + it worries my kids.

The world is getting excited about iPad HDs. I, however, have just spent way too much on a mouse, same level of excitement.

Mass Effect 3 coop session with the ORC crew this weekend. Looking forward to it. About to spend WAY to much on a mouse. http://j.mp/ztU2xr

That was a great laugh. Nice people, great kids. I don't regret signing up to the scouts for a second.

1 hour on a plane and I now know the life story of the bimbo airhead behind me. Snap out of it love, it's not all about you.

Work related road trip from Amsterdam to Bonn today. Heading home tomorrow. Knackered.

That's the Raspberry Pi ordered. Cool :)

Trust me, this will end very badly. Dystopian future looming. http://j.mp/wUQITL

Yay, the Raspberry Pi is finally available, well sort of. Slightly disappointed the rest of the planet wants one too.

Hangover, check. Hundreds of embarrassing photos of me tagged on Facebook, check. Mission accomplished.

In bed. Everyone asleep. New viz magazine. Friday tomorrow. I like these moments. Night night.

Pep Guardiola is FA's favourite for the England manager position. Never heard of him. First & last football related tweet.

Just in time, my costume has arrived for the Mexican themed fancy dress party on Saturday. I tried it on and laughed pretty hard.

Plumbing Quiz: What DON'T you do when you realise you have put a screw into a water pipe? Bonus question, what did I just do?

Couldn't find all the elements of my planned fancy dress costume. Party is on Saturday! Arrrgggh

Son1 is so like me, loves spicy food & olives, playing computer games, running around being a zombie. Now he LOVES diving too!

When I sit at a piano I try to release a tune I made up that floats in my head. Finally I have exorcised it (first draft) http://j.mp/xPioW9

Son1 called Son2 a "Butt Ninja". Quite a formidable insult. Note to self, block access to ITV channels.

Just back from seeing James and the Giant Peach at Bramley village hall. It was really really good. The boys loved it.

Train to London with the family, natural history & science museums, aquarium, ride on the eye, quick burger then home. Good day. Knackered.

New networked fire alarm system went off. Ear splitting ring in every single room. Luckily the boys didn't wake up. Oh, hang on.

To use an outdated advert inspired idiom - New heating pump £90. Being able to sleep at night again, priceless.

Boys had a great time in the snow this weekend, nothing but slush left now. I've been feeling exhausted, getting over a virus.

Just spent £100 on a load of GU10 LED lightbulbs for the attic. Ouch, severe pain in the wallet.

I lay down for a bit at 7pm and have just woke up :( not sure if I should get up. Don't think I'm well.

Son1's favourite film is Fantastic Mr Fox, I'm pretty proud of his excellent taste. It's in my top 10. Watching it yet again.

Ahhh... Bed!

Builders are here working through the last few items on the snagging list. Be glad when it is all complete. Very happy we did it.

I just got hit by a flake of snow. Nobody believes me. #uksnow

Electricians are here retro-fitting fire alarms into all rooms, they are swearing a lot.

Cough cough cough cough cough.... I hate not sleeping and listening to ill children

Just installed ichatr on my iPhone and regretted it within 0.27 seconds. One for the pub I think.

Staring at ceiling. Listening to son2 coughing, darling wife sleeping & heating system purring away. Important day tomorrow, as is the way.

Well, what started as a fairly far fetched idea is now apparently growing into a scary but exciting reality. Dyb Dyb Dyb.

I love every film Wes Anderson has ever made, Moonrise kingdom looks like another classic, will it better Life Aquatic? http://j.mp/ygBy7u

I am disappointed not to be able to get my boys into scouting, the waiting lists are so long in my area you need to enrol before conception :(

Emotional moment. Just hit 10k followers on twitter. I wouldn't follow me, but thanks for listening to my inane nonsense everyone

Plumber2 has spotted a fundamental and dangerous flaw in plumber1's work. They're having a heated debate, teehee. Actually quite pissed off.

House is totally full of tradesmen today. Final push from the loft company to finish+ we are having all the old rads replaced throughout

Drop off for Son3's 1st day at preschool was hard. You can imagine how fast my wife moved when she got "the call" saying he wasn't happy :(

My wife has been walking around bleary eyed in recent days. Reason, Son3's first day at school tomorrow :,(

Final week that the workmen will be in the house. Loft conversion almost done. Tired of the disruption now.

Replaced the cheap rubbish lighting in the kitchen with something more "posh". Now to order LED bulbs like a good citizen.

My wife just glued together two halves of a dead stag beetle's exoskeleton. Anyone else's wives acting odd today?

In Amsterdam relaxing in the hotel after a long but good day. Looking forward to getting home tomorrow.

Found out that Son3 just did his first poo on a potty. More scatological status updates to follow! Stay Tuned!

"Most Depressing Day of the Year" or "Blue Monday" was actually made up by a holiday company. It's nonsense. http://j.mp/wAPwqL

"Most depressing day of the year" today, apparently. Probably sponsored by an antidepressant drug company. Busy week ahead, feeling upbeat.

Son3 did his first wee on a potty. Headline news in this house. Bye bye nappies!

Picked up a lovely iMac on eBay for Son2. He will be over the moon with it. It is so darn cute.

Just gave my eldest son's pet woodlice a bath.

Back from Panto number 2. Jack and the beanstalk in Godalming. Really good! Kids are exhausted :)

Feeling happy & organised. 1 short break on Isle of Wight, 1 week in France & 1 week in Cornwall, all booked. Centre Parcs pencilled in too!

They got on so well in Titanic, but Kate and Leo seem to have hit a rough patch in the sequel "Revolutionary Road". Holiday romances PAH!
