Well folks, we’ve finally organised our trip back to the UK for later in the year. Not content with forgetting my birthday a couple of years ago SWMBO has timed our travel so that I get to spend my birthday this year on a plane. On my own. If I wasn’t paranoid I would definitely …

All I Want For Christmas
Is a Lego Millenium Falcon. I didn’t realise it but I’ve wanted one of these since I was 9. I promise not to duplicate the video though, I’ll leave that up to the young people.
Can We See the Dan?
Following the links on my last post I note that the worlds best over produced West Coast rock duo are on a massive world tour this year. They are even gracing us with their presence down under. Even better they are playing a gig in Sydney. However, I have had a long standing aversion to …
Birthday Wishes
It isn’t my birthday for another four months but I’ve already decided what my family can buy me for a present. Did I mention that Danny Baker is now broadcasting via that there internetweb? The show is so good I’ve had to buy SWMBO her own iPod so that she can listen to it on …
A Bit of a Blow
We were out and about at Balmoral Beach on Saturday morning. During some of the worst weather seen in these parts for some years. The swell was so bad that people (well, lunatics) were surfing off Rocky Point Island which is adjacent to the beach. Of course the smaller members of the party were oblivious …

The pilot for Biffovision is being repeated on BBC Three at midnight on Monday the 4th of July. If you are reading this from blighty do take a look. The clips I’ve linked to look absolutely … interesting.

Sadly we didn’t get to hear your messages because she doesn’t know the difference between ‘erase all messages’ and ‘erase last message’ on our answering machine. I live in the hope that one of these days she will …
I Don’t Find This Stuff Amusing Any More
Should I be buying a beerbelly to save me money at cricket and rugby games?
A Little Busy
I’d like to apologise to you, dear readers, for not writing more here recently. I’ve started a new job, you would be surprised how much time is taken up looking after a couple of young ratbags, etc. The real reason is that I’ve been spending my online time not tending this blog, but playing Conquer …
Orange Haircuts
Some photographic proof that I am taking care of the children. This is the results of Olly’s second haircut (and the first one that didn’t get cut short by his screaming). SWMBO would like me to apologise for the side parting, but what can I say, our local barber is a traditionalist. On the positive …
