News From The Slopes
Fresh from the slopes, over GPRS (at charging rates starting at "two limbs"), comes this report from the Bulgarian Holiday Team (Claire and I, along with my dad and my sisters).
JOURNEY: Uneventful, but tedious - three and a bit hours on a plane followed by a five hour bus journey is pretty mind-numbing, although we β¦ -
In Bulgaria
Having a great time. Only seconds left on this internet cafe connection, though.

Off To Bulgaria
Back in Aber a week on Sunday.
Apologies to everybody/thing (including this blog) that I've neglected this last fortnight. Will catch up with my inbox and voicemail when I'm back in the UK.
Right, time to go offline before I get branded a terrorist for using a phone on a 'plane or something. -

A Very Very Short Post
I'm in a fort in Pembrokeshire. There is not much signal. But I'm having fun. And I'm 27.

So That Was 2007
2007's drawing to a close, so I thought I'd better say a few words to mark it's passing, and what's it's meant to me. In convenient bullet-point form, here's what I've been up to this year:
January
I was a headline act at Gorilla Monsoon, Aber's now-dead alternative comedy "scene" event. β¦ -

Further Disturbances From Danβs Sleepy Head
Two more particularly strange dreams last night, probably owing at least slightly by the amount I drank at the SmartData Christmas meal, beforehand... and perhaps owing more to the phase I've been going though of consistently remembering what are usually quite trippy dreams. I've not been blogging them all (I had a dream the night β¦

Bad Advertising
Well, I've seen it all now. I've just been in a gents toilets in a shopping centre in Nottingham in which there was a poster advertising cheaper car insurance... for women.

Another Strange Dream
Well, I'm in Derby (after a hideously long and complicated journey involving long train delays, diversions, and a taxi ride - lost - around the middle of Derby city centre) visiting my friend Katie.
And another strange dream for my collection. But this one isn't suitable for print (no, not in that way), so β¦ -
Christmas Cards
[thanks to several people for the suggestion behind this post]
I've never really "got" the sending of Christmas cards, or, really, got "into" it. It feels like a waste of overpriced paper to line the pockets of big printing companies just to save you the bother of actually picking up the phone and talking β¦ -
Weβre Going Down
Another strange dream last night:
I was in a small aircraft (one aisle, two seats either side, about 80 seats in total, two jet engines, for those who feel the need to identify the aircraft in my dreams), sat by a window on the left hand-side, when the right-hand engine caught fire. The β¦
