  • Oh, And My Sisters Are Black

    Strange dream last night. I only remember fragments of it, but here's what I do:

    At some point during it, I left work at lunchtime to visit my dad and my sisters (who lived, conveniently, within walking distance of work). I bought a bag of sherbert along the way, but I was disappointed โ€ฆ

  • Reactions To The Unholy Alliance

    Here's a blog post I've been meaning to write for several months now: it's about some of the varied and different ways that people reacted to the news that Ruth and I were together, and that Claire and JTA were also a couple (and, of course, Ruth and JTA are still the fabulous pair they โ€ฆ

  • Return From The Real Ale Ramble (and upcoming Abnib Events)

    Real Ale Ramble 2007

    Well, the Real Ale Ramble was fabulous as always. Particularly wet and muddy, especially on the first day, this year, but good visibility, so we got to see a lot of the beautiful mid-Wales countryside. Thanks to getting lost on the first day and walking a lot longer than we'd โ€ฆ

  • Apology, Troma Night Update, Etc.

    Damnit, I wrote a blog post and didn't save it as I was going along (mistake one) and then closed the browser without posting it (mistake two). It's kind-of demotivating, and I can't be arsed to write it all again in full. So here's the much, much shortened version of what I've been up to โ€ฆ

  • Off To Gregynog

    Claire and I are off to Gregynog with the Computer Science department this afternoon. We'll be back tomorrow in time for Troma Night, which this week will actually feature a Troma film, which will be... well, unusual, these days.
    I'll be giving mock interviews to groups of Computer Science undergraduates. Claire will be the โ€ฆ

    Quickly, Before They Turn The Glass Into Lesbians!

    So, what have I been up to this weekend, you ask. Well...
    "Cover The Mirrors" Launch Party
    On Friday I took the train up to Preston. The train I was on broke down at Machynlleth when they linked it up to the carriages that had come down the Pwllheli line, and the repairs set me โ€ฆ

    QParty - Part 2 - The Party



    After extended delays, here's the remainder of my "looking back at QParty" post.




    The party kicked off at 6pm, and guests trickled in over about about half hour to either side, which gave Claire and I ample time to try to greet everybody as they came through the doors. At least, it did until โ€ฆ
