Odd One Out?
Which is the odd-one out: gypsies, turkeys, french fries, or the Kings of Leon? It's a simple riddle, but it's still better than whatever you've gotten out of your cracker.

New Computer #2 - Dana
Dana is the second of the two new computers Dan's acquired this month. She's tiny, reasonably-powerful, and uses almost no electricity.

Five Beds
During his Christmas and New Year tour of the UK, Dan is offered the chance to sleep on no fewer than five separate beds. He's not been quite so crass as to rank the crash spaces he was so-kindly offered in order of comfort, but he might as well have.

A Surprise Christmas Gift
A surprise package arrives outside Dan's office door. What's inside? A whole heap of goodness, that's what.

A Very Confused Courier
I've just had a phone call from a very confused courier. My mother (who many years ago for reasons both too long and silly to go in to I nicknamed "Crusty Pasty") texted me last night to say that I was to be delivered an early Christmas present that would arrive today, and that she'd …

[this post was lost during a server failure on Sunday 11 July 2004; it was finally (partially) recovered on 12 October 2018]

Off To Norfolk!

In any case, I'll … -
