Liz & Sun
Last night, Liz and her new girlfriend Sundeep came over for some variety of Troma Night-like event, and Liz cheated on Sundeep with me. I found it odd that Tom S kept trying to find out what we were up to.
This was a dream, of course. Isn't it fascinating how Liz … -
Influence: Science and Practice
I recently received an Amazon order I'd been looking forward to for some time, and thought I'd share with you my thoughts on one of the two books I'd ordered (and which I've just finished reading): Influence: Science and Practice (International Edition) by Robert B. Cialdini, which I'd first heard of when Scott Adams mentioned … -
Google Reader For LiveJournal Users
There's a new version out: click here!
My previous post reminded me that I'd never gotten around to writing something I'd promised a few of you already: that is, a guide to using Google Reader and LiveJournal together effectively (Google Reader doesn't support digest authentication, which means that it's not possible to use Google Reader … -
Google Reader Trends
In true Google "we can't think of a use for it either, but isn't it a cool toy" style, Google Reader now has a new feature - Trends - which tells you, for example, at what times of the day you read particular blogs and other useless stuff like that (Did you know that I …

Best. Limerick. Ever.
She was, "Blah blah blah, blah-blah de blah."
I was, "Ha ha ha hardy ha ha!"
She was, "Hmmph! Grr grr GRRR!"
I was, "Yipe! Erm, uh, errr..."
She was, "Uh-uh. 'Ha ha'? Huh. Ta-ta."

Meatloaf, QParty, And The Competition
It's been a busy weekend. Friday saw me travelling by train to Preston, with Faye, my honorary girlfriend for the weekend (Claire had exams on Friday and Saturday morning and sadly had to leave the position vacant). Then, no sooner had we arrived (owing to a missed connection at Wolverhampton) we had to dash to …

Plasma Pong
I promised Jimmy I'd try not to distract him with computer games that would appeal to him while he's revising. It turns out I lied.
I've just discovered Plasma Pong. It's like Pong - you know, two paddles, a ball, that whole lark - except it mixes the genre up with some of the fastest … -
A Quick Game Of Munchkin
Last night's Geek Night was fun. I'm sure Andy would agree. Faye, Claire, Andy and I opened with a game of Settlers Of Catan on an oversized island and with the Cities & Knights expansion. Claire encountered a problem that her port-claiming strategy often gives her difficulty with: getting stuck, pinned in the corner of …

I've got a new mobile phone, and with it, a new number - if you don't have it, you can get my number by either:
Visiting my contact details page, if you're able.

Abnib Events
In order to reduce the amount of time my blog spends being used to organise events like Black Red Dwarf Adder Nights and whatnot, I've launched Abnib Events, which aims to centralise the organisation of such get-togethers. You'll also find that the next upcoming event appears on the Abnib front page, in the upper-right - …

Black Red Tonight
As you probably ought to know, Black Red Black Dwarf Adder Night V is tonight, featuring the fifth series of Red Dwarf (including fantastic episodes such as Quarantine and Back To Reality) and the first half of the third series of Blackadder.
Saturday's Troma Night is cancelled in favour of Adam's Eurovision Final Night. I'm sure … -

Red Black Dwarf Adder Night IV, at which we'll be watching the fourth series of Red Dwarf and concluding the second series of Blackadder, will be this Thursday at 7pm, at The Cottage. We might also have a Jeramiah Night on Friday.
Why nothing earlier in the week? Well; two reasons - firstly, Claire's … -
Oakwood
It's been a busy weekend. Aside from all the usual stuff, Claire, Beth, Jimmy, Rory, Gareth, Penny and I travelled down to Oakwood (where we met up with Andy and Sian) for a round of play at the last remaining Crystal Maze Cyberdrome and a visit to Oakwood Theme Park. I've uploaded some pictures to …
