Out Of Town Again
My gran's condition is only getting worse, so Claire and I are going to skip town for a few days and go up there to join my mum and visit her in hospital. Claire is an absolute star and offering to drive me around the country. It means quite a bit to me to be …

Getting Your Money’s Worth On Pizza Hut Salads
I've always enjoyed free food at pizza places. On my 16th birthday, I went to Winston's Pizza in Preston for their lunchtime buffet "all you can eat" deal. We took board games. Four hours (and many, many slices of pizza and bottles of beer) later, we were finally thrown out: the manager let us have …

A Question Of Honour
If your girlfriend and your sister are in a fight, who are you supposed to defend?
That's one of the many questions that went through my mind on Saturday at Houghton Tower's orchestra and fireworks display. It was the usual affair of music and fireworks and excessive patriotism, dampened only by the dampening effect of the … -
And We’re Off
Right; off to Lancashire. For those that remain:
Adam's offered to host Troma Night. Which seems brave considering that he'll just have come to an end of his 22hr15min Dr. Who marathon.
Bryn: I managed to do it - this morning, I surfed BBC News from my DS Lite. It'd have been easier … -
Fun With A Nintendo DS
This post starts very geeky, but becomes about computer games later on. Feel free to scroll down three paragraphs if you like computer games but don't like computer hardware hacking.
My M3 Perfect and some related hardware arrived today. Basically, it's a SD card reader that plugs into a Game Boy Advance slot (which are found … -
Umm… About Troma Night (Plus: Last Night’s Dream)
Oh yeah; Claire and I won't be around this weekend: we're off to Houghton Tower again (again!) for classical music and fireworks from the comfort of a gazebo, which we've recently started pronouncing "gay's bow". The net result is that Troma Night won't be at The Cottage - if somebody else wants to host it …

Dan’s Lazy Beef Stroganoff
Another recipe for you all. This experimental stroganoff worked well, so I thought you might enjoy it too. I've no doubt it could be multiplied up wonderfully to serve more people.
Dan's Lazy Beef Stroganoff
Serves: 2-3
Ingredients
2 medium-sized sirloin steaks, thinly sliced (use a very sharp knife and try to cut slices no larger than … -
And The Meme Goes On
I promised a few people I'd do this meme with them, you see...
In case you'd forgotten, here are the things I'm writing about:
I’ll respond with something random about you (it'll probably be something particularly random, because it'll be the first thing I thought of - it may or may not be pleasant).

I’m Not One For Memes, But…
As you probably know, I'm not a huge fan of most of the memes that float around Blogland (Abnib, etc.), and generally steer clear. But I did this one on Faye's blog, and thought I ought to pass it on.
