United Utilities to English Dictionary
Monday, August 21st, 2006After doing some work in the street outside my home last week United Utilities and their subcontractors have yet to succeed in properly restoring a full supply. To mark the occasion I thought a little low quality satire wouldn’t go amiss. United Utilities Speak English 24 hour emergency number Our only number Please wait all […]
Wet Spong Rolling Away
Monday, August 21st, 2006I almost feel human again 🙂 Thanks to Kim and Steve for the nice comments.
Beware the Giant Wet Sponges of August
Thursday, August 17th, 2006I feel like I’ve been rolled over by a slow moving, giant, wet sponge. I have a cold in August. It’s just a nasty cold. Not the flu. I may not post for the next few days as I’m not feeling particularly coherent.
Plutons
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006I was just reading the BBC article about the three "new" planets in the solar system. I can’t write fanfic to save my life but there would be a great West Wing episode in this somewhere. Something like the episode "Galileo" which by coincidence I watched last night on DVD.
Not Kim's Eyelashes Either
Friday, August 4th, 2006I was browsing through some clip art on a Computer Arts Projects cover disc when I came across the slightly odd picture above. It reminded me of the eyelashes that are not Kim’s but that appear as her avatar and on her Romance Fiction web site.
Household Sound Effects
Tuesday, August 1st, 2006I was happily enjoying the silliness that is CSI: Miami when I heard an odd bell like noise. At first I thought it was some strange choice of symbolic sound effect. Then I thought it was someone moving lots of bottles or ringing hand bells in the street neither of which made any sense. The […]
Teppanyaki Superman
Thursday, July 27th, 2006I’ve tried Sushi Restaurants and Noodle restaurants in the past. I’d never had Teppanyaki before. Went to the Teppanyaki Sapporo on Duke Street (Liverpool) after Superman last night. A bit pricey but the show put on by the chefs as they cooked our food in front of us was really good. If you want to […]
That Sunday Post about Writing only 13 Hours Late
Monday, July 24th, 2006This should be a post about the frustrations of having a really good few hours writing and then realising you’ve info dumped a huge chunk of the story rather than having the main character interact with characters, risk danger and generally do heroic stuff. It should be about the *joys* of editing (TM) where the […]
I would appear to be Blackbeard
Saturday, July 22nd, 2006I’m blaming the bottle of wine I’ve polished off tonight for the following result… You scored as Black Beard. When you finally die and enter Hell, the devil will hand over his reign and bow. Black Beard 75% Mary Read 67% Will Turner 67% Captain Jack Sparrow 50% Captain James T. Hook 42% Dread Pirate […]
You know that it's really humid when…
Saturday, July 22nd, 2006You get a dry bottle bottle of pepsi out of the fridge and it’s dripping with water in seconds. Feels like there might be a thunder storm later. Pretty much the same thing as Darkdwarf’s post: You know that it’s really hot when…
