Imminent Examination

Starting tuesday I begin my GCSE examinations. They’re mainly spread over June- but there are some this month. I’ll try to post a comment here after each day, but don’t expect to see anything here until the end of June. Then expect to see quite a bit. Until then, themak

Barenaked ladies in concert.

BNL 1 Hosted on Zooomr I’ve just got back from seeing the barenaked ladies live with an old friend in the Southampton guildhall. They were awesome. Truly the last post until after the exams now.

Forthcoming GCSE examinations.

This is going to be the last post until June the 25th. My GCSE exams are starting next month and contininuing at an alarming pace until late June. Lots of stress and less sleep than optimum, so I’m going to be studying as much as I can for the next few months. After that I’ve

The Real Reason BT Phone Boxes are dying out.

New Year

It’s slightly too late to be wishing everyone a prosperous 2007; but anyways all the best to all of you. Work to be done…

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! That is all, open your presents as there’s not going to be much here until 2007.

Illegal Eagles

I’ve just been to see the Illegal Eagles perform, and what can I say? They were terrific, and as soon as they started playing peaceful, easy feeling I knew that I’d really enjoy the concert and they showed a really wide range of songs. After the concert I bought a CD of their original work
