Jan. 21st, 2008 01:42 pmFrom Terfel to Depp is an interesting step - they are the only two people I have seen in the eponymous role. Terfel definitely has the better singing voice, Depp wins in just about every other way - especially as there is a reunion of the unholy trinity of Depp, Burton and Bonham-Carter.
Good weekend overall - Quiet Saturday, dinner out Saturday evening with Col's family - with me getting to drive the Hyundai Coupe for the first time on the way home.
Sunday was time with Dad, the above mentioned musical extravaganza and a (relatively) early night.
Monday strikes again with full force.
Today is allegedly the most depressing day of the year - this story seems to have skipped a few years, I am sure that I last heard about it in the news a while ago...
So, how are you finding today?

Nov. 14th, 2007 11:34 amThat there is a cull upcoming.
This is due to me having less available time online to read LJ - you are still my friends, I still like you, I just need to be more savvy with my time, and I find default filters a bit disambiguous - you do not know if I am reading or not.
Thanks

Beware the preaching.
Or to put it another way, the weekend was amazing and eye opening and mind blowing and life changing all at once. There is only forward and up from here.
I look forward to the discussions with Kol which will naturally follow.

Apr. 18th, 2007 11:53 amJoin the Innocent petition, to have VAT removed from fruit juice and smoothies
http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/our_drinks/petition/
Some things just aren't right. Tartan jeans for instance. And the fact that the government charges VAT on healthy fruit juices and smoothies. Seems wrong to us. Especially when other foods, like hotdogs and chips, remain tax free. Not quite encouraging healthy eating, is it?
That's why we've set up a petition on the Prime Minister's website to tell the government that they could help more people get to their five a day by removing this daft tax. To sign up go to
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/fruitjuiceVAT
It only takes 30 seconds to type in your name. And feel free to send this mail on to your friends afterwards.
Thanks for your support

If you are looking for something, be it books, boardgames, wargames, graphic novels, CCGs, role-playing stuff and gubbins, then he is likely to have it - or if it is gettable he will get it!

Dec. 6th, 2006 02:23 pmI have had enough!
Of Welsh Dragon sausages having to change their name as they do not contain dragon, of packets of peanuts needing to carry “may contain nuts” warnings, and of many other foolish rulings.
I propose that on the 20th December (time to spread the word) as many people as possible call their local Trading Standards office and complain that:
1) There is no shepherd in all major supermarket own brand Shepherd’s Pie.
2) There is no cottage in all major supermarket own brand Cottage Pie.
3) There is no toad in all major supermarket own brand Toad in the Hole.
I could go on, but I think that these simple examples highlight the point!
Who is with me? Pass it on!

Why was Heisenberg's wife unsatisfied?
When he had the time he didn't have the energy, and when he had the position, he didn't have the momentum.
Top 10 reasons to date an Engineer
-They are used to all nighters
-They are always willing to experiment
-They know how to increase and decrease friction
-They know all about heat transfer
-They do it with more torque
-Engineering couples have better moments
-They know how to deal with stress and strain
-They know how to test their rigid cantilevers
-"Lubrication, friction, and wear" is a class
-They design and build large erections
The pilot of a plane on its way out of Poland dies unexpectedly in flight. A passenger is asked to fill in. He looks at the controls and shakes his head. "What's wrong?" someone asks. The reply: "I'm just a simple Pole in a complex plane."
