Had a very strong start, but just drifted off to the end (although reading whilst drunk might be a reason). Not the best of Mark Billinghams work.
Now need to find a new book to read!

Firstly well done to Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms, you almost did it.

However my big problem is the evil BBC. For those who live in the UK you are able to watch the olympics online (including the bonus four digital feeds), those outside the UK can’t. Unfortunalty the BBC count work servers as outside the UK, and not only do they block the video, but also Five Live, meaning we can’t even listen to it.

So instead it was live updates in text, with me hitting refresh every minute or so.

For those with Blogger hosted blogs, blogger now let you have the NavBar instead of the ads.

The best thing about this is the Next Blog link. You can spend hours just reading complete random rubish.

Yet to find a blog, that I might bookmark, but will keep looking 🙂

I’ve been playing about with the settings in Blogger, modifying the template code and adding HaloScan Commenting.

To almost everybody, you won’t notice much of a difference, but to me it counts, especially the correctly aligned HTML, with as little as possible blank lines.

Whilst in London with Heather this weekend we went to see The Bourne Supremacy at the Everyman in Hampstead.

The film was really good, and the Everyman is a lovely cinema.

Jake Arnott at his best. Set in the 90’s, this third book completes the story.
You really need to read the first two (or have watched the Long Firm on the BBC), to know the history of the characters, but don’t worry they are great too.
A real enjoyable read.

This is all over the news today and the BBC Link is here.

Man plays lottery, man wins lottery, what’s the deal. Oh he’s banged up. So what.

He took part in a competition and won, he used his money to enter, has probably been paying a tenner a week, for ages, the prize should go to him. If he had won £5,000 on the horses, nobody would have cared.

If we were to ban all the people we believed that they didn’t deserve to win from the lottery, the main prize would be under a million a draw.

Stupid, stupid Ken!!!
66% of residents don’t want the charge, yet he won’t listen.

The main problem for me with extending the congestion charge is that all the people living in Kensington and Chelsea, will now have to pay £5 a week to drive their car off their drive, and for this £5 per week, they can drive anywhere in London.
This will mean that everyone in K&C with a residents C-Charge permit, will be heading to the West End, as they’ve already paid.
Thus actually more congestion, not less.

A very easy read, and quiet funny, but a bit too predictiable throughout the book. Very similar to Ben Elton and others.

Surprise, surprise more moaning!

This jab will replace the current 4-in-1, and a live virus droplet, it also removes the mercury in the polio vaccine.

How can anything be wrong with this?

They’ve been using it in Canada for years.
