My lovely girlfriend just spent the week-end with me and I had to drop her off at the airport for her trip home this evening (definitely not what I wanted to do!) Having very sadly seen her head off through security, I walked back to the car and set about paying my parking bill. I [...]
A small article in the Observer on 22 November caught my eye, and caused me a huge amount of merriment. Apparently, Mitsuibishi UFJ banking group, concerned at the declining national birth-rate in Japan, have bizarrely elected to encourage staff to leave work early to enjoy ‘family time’. So why is this bizarre, you may ask? [...]

There’s an interesting thread going on at the My Husband Betty board about coming out. Of course, the first person I told about what was going on was my wife (ex-wife now, of course) but that wasn’t really ‘coming’ out… That’s a very different thing and one I don’t think I’ll talk about here. The first [...]
I was just trying to connect my Mac to my Vista box and whilst trying to work out just why it wasn’t working, I opened the properties box which shows the full-size icon: Not only is the icon of a very old monitor, the image it shows is a Blue Screen of Death! Very funny, [...]
