Seven Wonders: [July 31, 2002]
I really want to visit Britain's seven wonders. If you're visiting the UK then these places should be on your itinerary.

What's A Boy To Think?: [July 31, 2002]
What does the world think of homosexuality then? It's a crazy mixed-up place. Earlier this week, we had a sitting Conservative MP tell the world that he is gay. This, on top of the fact that the Tories also seem...

Nearly The End of July: [July 30, 2002]
Imagine having your termination notice posted on a web site!

Ministry of Truth: [July 29, 2002]
I keep hearing that tension is mounting and we're heading for some kind of war with Iraq. The West, apparently, wants rid of Saddam. The thing that concerns me most is that I have not heard or seen any evidence...

Music on the Move: [July 28, 2002]
I have been looking for a new MP3 player for some time.

They Go Quite Fast: [July 28, 2002]
Schumacher wins.

How do you say Happy Birthday in Russian?: [July 27, 2002]
Happy Birthday Dad! [5 comments]

Marry Me: [July 27, 2002]
Congratulations!

Back To A Normal Life: [July 26, 2002]
As if you didn't know: Kate won Big Brother 3. Johnny was second, Alex third and Jade forth. Once again this year I started off with very little interest but, as time went on, it became more interesting. For the...

All For A New Pair of Shoes: [July 25, 2002]
While there, I was made to run up and down with my trousers rolled up.

City Hall: [July 24, 2002]
I am pleased to see that, in this age of taller, squarer buildings, we (occasionally) still strive to build something that is visually stunning.

Fix My Car: [July 23, 2002]
Oh isn't customer service in the UK great?

Running Shoes: [July 23, 2002]
And I went running again today. I am fairly pleased that I did the training run as it says on my training sheet (it's a 20 minute routine with 1 minute running followed by 1 minute walking). Still hurts and...

Oh Canada: [July 23, 2002]
Don't you just love Canada? I do. "Canada took a major step toward legally recognizing same-sex marriage on Friday when an Ontario court ruled that to do otherwise is unconstitutional". I believe that this is a positive step forward. [other...

We just want to stop being ripped off: [July 22, 2002]
I am pro-Euro. I think it would be a good thing for the UK to use the single currency and that's why I applaud the "blonde babes and cross-dressing comedians" who today protested in The Gap about the differences in...

Fool If You Think It's Over: [July 21, 2002]
This morning, I get up and watch F1. This at least relaxes me and, although I am not a Michael Schumacher fan, I do enjoy the fact he's made history today. Then I go for the first of my training...

Try the M11: [July 21, 2002]
I feel it was an interesting weekend. Some of it I don't want to repeat but mostly good fun and the kind of things that should be done at weekends if you slave all week in an office. It started...

How far is 10K in Miles?: [July 20, 2002]
I had a moment of brain failure last night. At some point I was asked if I wanted to run 10K for fun at the end of September. Why did I say "I'll think about it overnight"? I find myself...

A Cool Forty Million: [July 20, 2002]
Apparently we need £40 million to cope with our rising fridge problem. £40 million! It amazes me how much we need to spend to recycle. Wow. And I can't get the council to deliver my recycling bags. [recycling link]...

A Non-Existent Dream: [July 19, 2002]
After last night's little rant on the state of the London Underground system, I heard about this morning's nonsense from the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) to start charging commuters more to sit on over-crowded, dirty, late-running trains. I guess the...

London Life Underground: [July 18, 2002]
The great struggle to and from work in London is over as another strike by London Underground staff finishes and the tube returns to its normal, over-crowded, hot, sticky self. I don't think there can be a person in this...

50 things: [July 18, 2002]
Overyourhead is London-based blogger bloke. He has this list [official site]from Birmingham's Thinktank. Thinktank is the city's new museum of science and technology and looks fantastic. I will certainly pay it a visit on my next voyage to Birmingham. The...

I say "medieval" - You say "medireview": [July 18, 2002]
And so to another link of the day: Never ask Yahoo for a Medieval Mocha. [Related]...

Amazon Light: [July 17, 2002]
Since I started more-or-less daily blogging, I have taken more of an interest in other people's musings. Today I find that everybody (well, Tom Coates and Ben Hammersley) is linking to this from Amazon (more accurately, this). Given that I...

"Less Substantial Thinking": [July 16, 2002]
Why do I always seem to post the links the rest of the blogging world sees? Anyway, this caught my attention today. I use the internet for research purposes but I was not fortunate enough to have access when I...

Spending Money At Last: [July 15, 2002]
Today the Government announced £511 billion worth of spending.

Number One: [July 14, 2002]
For no reason at all, I decided to look up what was the number one UK single on this day in 1982.

Ask Homer (and remember HotWired): [July 14, 2002]
I have been reading .Net magazine since Issue 1. They are now 100 issues old. Happy Birthday .Net! Anyway, this month they have published 100 Sites That Changed The Web. Included in that list, was HotWired - which I haven't...

Online Advertising Wasn't The Same in 1996: [July 13, 2002]
Is Our Industry a Modern-Day Sodom and Gomorrah

I Like Yahoo!: [July 12, 2002]
The new look Yahoo homepage (http://www.yahoo.com/) carries on Yahoo's tradition of a clean interface but brings a fresher look. I have always liked that clean feel about most of Yahoo's interface. I hope they bring it to the UK site...

497: [July 11, 2002]
497 Billionaires in the World's Billionnaires list 13 are from the UK. And I am not there! Still it doesn't contain the same UK people that The Times Rich List 2002 does. I wonder how they compile these lists? Well,...

The Race: [July 10, 2002]
I wish I'd been at the Formula One Grand Prix on Sunday. The year I went, the atmosphere at Silverstone was fantastic (it's all smell and noise) and, if Bernie Ecclestone gets his way we might not have too many...

Man of the Moment FAQ: [July 09, 2002]
Answers to some of the questions people may have about my Man of the Moment project.

What is Man of the Moment?: [July 09, 2002]
I have launched a new section. I blame the technology but you may blame the pcitures.

Is this me?: [July 09, 2002]
I took the online Personality Disorder Test. Find out what it says about me.

Congestion Protest: [July 08, 2002]
The people of Kennington have decided to protest against Mayor Ken's congestion charges. I wish I knew how I felt about this. Somebody has to do something about the cronic chaos that is London's transport system but I am not...

"Vent Your Pure Male Macho Juice": [July 07, 2002]
I might be new to this but a short entry like this is good.

Beer: [July 06, 2002]
I have to admit to the occasional pint of London Pride beer.

Cows & Clothes: [July 05, 2002]
It happens to me every day: A cow ended up in a garden swimming pool after bolting while being taken to new pastures[Ananova]. Go on, you know you want to. Google It! And if that wasn't enough, you've got to...

Did They Make It Up?: [July 04, 2002]
I swear some news is made up.

It's All Queens on 4th July!: [July 04, 2002]
The Foreign Office, straight-laced guardian of a global empire in Victorian times, has embraced the 21st century by offering special advice to gay and lesbian travellers [yahoo] Only in America on Independence Day: A group demanding voting rights for Washington...

Amazon A-Go-Go: [July 04, 2002]
I love Amazon. They're they way the world should do the online shopping experience. Then again, I hate Amazon. They keep recommending stuff I want so I buy it. But just now, I love them. I got my first two...

Finally - CSS: [July 04, 2002]
Well, at last. I think I have an idea about CSS. I have now realised that IE and Mozilla won't quite look at things in the same way. "Remember, IE5/Win gets the box model wrong by absorbing padding and margins...

Scooby Thoughts: [July 03, 2002]
Looking back, I really do have to say Scooby Doo was a great film. If one of the goals of conema is to enetrtain then this was a successfuly film. If another of the goals of cinema is to provide...

In My Thoughts: [July 02, 2002]
My grandad was born on 1 July so it would have been his birthday yesterday. He died several years ago and I have to say that I miss him. I lit a candle at St Paul's Cathedral on Sunday. I...

Last Weekend in June: [July 01, 2002]
Blog the weekend. Well, what a weekend it was – nothing exciting or deep to say but a few things that surprised me. Surprise One: saw Hugh Grant in About A Boy on Friday night and it was great. It...
