This one is mainly for the 70’s throwback. Apologies if it makes no sense to you. Quoted in today’s Guardian over-by-over cricket coverage, from John Peel’s biography; "When Chris Moyles came to Radio One, I thought about strapping explosives to myself and taking us both out. I’m an old man now, it’ll make little difference."

A Saturday in November
After the excitement of last Saturday today was quite a normal day at Todd Towers. I dragged myself out of bed at around 7:30am and roused JFGP from his pit. I had the delightful pleasure of watching Nick Jr. whilst we had our breakfasts and prepared for the rigours of the day. SMWBO and HBIB …
Serendipity
I’ve just had a potentially marvelous ten minutes with my headphones on. My random playlist on iTunes just offered up Afraid of Sunlight by Marillion and then Landed by Ben Folds. Marvelous. Now if my colleagues would stop interrupting me every two minutes I can actually sit back and enjoy the music.
Housekeeping
I’ve made a small change-ette to the sidebar. There is now a section exclusively devoted to my photographs. Take a look to the left and click on a link. A small tip though, if you’ve got a flickr account (or sign up for one, they are free) then let me know. Then you will get …
Its Spring Again, I’ll Sing Again
It would appear that spring is with us again as the cricket is on Channel 9 today, sadly without Mark Nicholas, which will displease my Mother as she’s a big fan. The good news is that SWMBO gave me a membership in the Doug Walters club for my birthday. This gives me free entry to …
Belated Birthday Boy
I did have a very nice birthday. I’m still just a tad busy which is why it’s taken me a week to say so. JFGP here is demonstrating my present from the Reeves. It’s a neoprene bottle holder for keeping your beer cool at the beach. Every home should have one. Thanks to the locals …
Wishing and Hoping
Doesn’t time fly when you’re holed up at work twelve hours a day for six and a half days a week. You’ll be pleased to know that I managed to carve out a little of my copious free time to update my wish list today. Feel free to celebrate any upcoming anniversaries or national holidays …
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
To those who have noticed a lack of updates to this page in recent days may I offer this homily. Call it "Andrew’s first law of blogging" When your web site has been updated more recently than mine you can start calling me a slacker. I’m busy. Deal with it. There will be (hopefully) daily …
Cricket
Move along if you don’t like the game, I’m going to talk about the Ashes. Reading the Sydney newspapers today you’d be forgiven for thinking that the drawn game at Old Trafford was the greatest victory since Don Bradman played the game. Does no-one remember the confident predictions before the series started? The colonials are …
Adventures
Tonight I’m off to see the Wallabies vs the All Blacks at the Olympic stadium (as was). I’m very excited because we’ve got rather good seats. I’m even more excited because I’m taking my camera. Hopefully with my telephoto lens I’ll be able to get some pictures of the action where you can actually see …
