How To Fix A Flat Car Battery For Beginners
Unfortunatley my plans for a nice relaxed evening over a pint were delayed somewhat by having to help to fix Claire's car, first. In a fantastic display of sense she'd left the headlights on on Sunday night, and all through Monday, and so by Tuesday the battery was very, very dead.
So she, Bryn, Kit and … -
Scatmania Launched
Well; I finally did it. I finally got myself a weblog. After weeks of peer pressure by such friends as Paul, Alec, and Kit with their shiny LiveJournals, I decided to have one of my own.
Just to remind anybody who doesn't already know that this isn't, technically, my first weblog. My first one ran from … -

Easter Break
I'm sitting doing some work on a web site for one of our clients, and Reb (you know, the ex-girlfriend) sends me another text message:
you around for easter? xx
As it happens, I won't be. I could go visit my family for Easter, but this would result in two things happening:

Chasing The Paycheck
What with unavailable accountants and worse, I've not been able to get my paycheque until today - a week later than expected. I have £2.50, half a loaf of bread, a tin of beans, and a packet of super noodles to live on until my cheque is cashed. I don't think that Sainsbury's Recipe Finder …

Claire Goes To Norfolk
My love, Claire, disappeared to Norfolk today. I won't see her for a week. My horniness is going to be unmeasurable within days. Hmm... I wonder how much a prostitute costs around here?
A quick search on PunterNet UK (a prostitute review site) doesn't find any ladies for hire in Aberystwyth. That's disgraceful. I think I … -
A Message From Reb
I received an interesting text message from my ex-girlfriend Reb today. It read:

Yeh; sure - it sounds like you love me … -
April Fools Day
April Fools Day has always been an oppertunity for me to get back at the ineffective dickheads that are the management of Penbryn Hall at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. This year was no exception. Building upon the success of my last big prank, Penbryn-Hall.co.uk, a spoof 'official' site which almost got me expelled from …

New Site Preps For Launch
The new version of AvAngel.com is under full developmental swing... and within a week or two it'll be uploaded. Of course, you know what we're like for deadlines, so don't hold your breath - but if you don't believe us, catch Dan online (e-mail him for his ICQ number) and he'll show you what he's …

AvAngel.com Censorship Lifted
After a bit of a battle between Information Services at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and I, resulting in the semipermanent blocking of the Unversity's right to see www.penbryn-hall.co.uk, and the temporary blocking of AvAngel.com (Woohoo! I'm officially censored by the University), access to the site from the University's network is now re-opened. Thanks to …

Dan gets stopped by two police officers while carrying a battle-axe through the streets of Aberystwyth. Original content on AvAngel.com appeared, as follows:

I wonder how many police officers, when asked by the guy they've just stopped on the street for carrying a battle-axe, will actually go to the URL he tells …
