Castle Combe Track Day
For my birthday earlier this year, my girlfriend, sister and parents bought me a track day at Castle Combe. What with work going under and such I didn’t take up the day until last Friday. I must admit to being a touch nervous on Friday morning. I am a wonderful driver (*ahem*) and I like…

WordPress
So I have switched to WordPress. If you are reading this on LiveJournal it is because I’m using the crossposter plugin (you can leave comments easily via OpenID too). Mainly I switched because I wanted better control of how I present and deal with stuff, but also ‘cos I just fancied a change 😉 I…

End of the eBay as we know it
I have voluntarily locked myself out of eBay for a while. It is just to damn tempting to buy stuff that I need, no really I do. Whilst ebay is great ‘cos I sold my 2 year old layback seatpost and got a new straight one for no cost, its bad because I didn’t need…

Its a miracle
On Thursday night, the 32″ widescreen goodness that my GF used to attract me gave up and saw red. Lots of red, in square boxes, then all over the screen and then… blackness as it switched itself off. 14″ of 4:3 isn’t the same. Over the weekend the GF and I have had several, shall…

So I’m a Dragon
I’ve never looked before, but since Chinese New Year was on Feb 18th 1977, I turn out to be a 1976 child and thus I’m a Dragon. There we go, it must be all true 😉
