Time: [August 31, 2002]
This is the last day of August. Why is it that time seems to go by much more quickly as you get older? Is this just an age thing? Clearly, time passes at the same rate - although I probably...

Temptation: [August 29, 2002]
I am a PC kinda-guy. Well, I was a Unix admin at one point (very briefly) but after spending a whole night loading Linux from 80 discs at work I opted for the relative ease of an out-of-the-box PC at...

Seventeen Plastic Bags: [August 28, 2002]
I had to comment on the supermarket plastic bag phenomena that is striking at the heart of the nation's bag savers....

Blast Into Orbit: [August 28, 2002]
I have been fascinated by the weather since childhood. This is not your typical British interest in the weather - which is a necessity if you live in England's green and pleasant lands. No, I really want to understand forecasting,...

Fast Lane on Foot: [August 27, 2002]
I haven't spoken of London's traffic problems for a while now. This is because it's a bad story and I am trying to be positive. I have not be overly delayed for sometime (although every taxi I take tries to...

Celebrities in Space: [August 26, 2002]
Ah, ITV (Britain's original commercial televison network). From their website: This channel – which has done more than most to build the cult of celebrity – has taken its first step toward atonement by placing a group of celebs (the...

Half-Hearted Bollywood: [August 26, 2002]
You know when you don't go to the cinema for, what seems like, an age and then you suddenly go quite a lot? No, well, I do this on-off thing with cinema quite a lot. Yesterday, following on from my...

Not Hilarious or Surprising: [August 25, 2002]
"Strange, zany, generally amusing and very likeable without actually being all that hilarious or surprising, Men In Black II relies heavily on familiarity with and affection for the original. Fans of that film, who are simply content with more of...

Around The World: [August 24, 2002]
A colleague of mine left work yesterday to go travelling and I was sad to see him go. He's joining an ever growing list of people I know who are purchasing a back-pack and buying a ticket for six months....

Blog Silence: [August 23, 2002]
The conversation last night turned to weblogs and I still didn't talk about this one (and Kev is probably one of the few people I know in real life who would get it)....

3am Eternal: [August 23, 2002]
Last night was indeed a grand night. I have come back with a reading list, which will keep me entertained until the next time we meet, and a small hangover. 3am, if your interested....

Old Friends: [August 22, 2002]
Tonight I am going out with a very good friend of mine (who happens to be a member of Haddock (see here) but I don't hold that against him). I haven't seen him for ages and, it's strange, because I...

Not About Me: [August 22, 2002]
I don't talk about my blog. It's a private thing I do, but I am not sure why (I would suggest points 2 and 3 here as a starting point to try and answer that question). Yesterday I went for...

Fast Food Fact Frenzy (1): [August 21, 2002]
I don't want to play food facts today ... The typical American now consumes approximately three hamburgers and four orders of french fries every week. McDonald's operates more playgrounds that any other private entity in the United States Should we...

A Haddock is A Wet Fish: [August 20, 2002]
Haddock was a club I never got into. I have watched from the sidelines for years. I am not bitter. I am, however, fascinated by this particular blog of blogs (Plasticbag)...

The **** Of All Snacks: [August 19, 2002]
Remember the slag of all snacks?

BBQ Frenzy: [August 18, 2002]
Well, I'll eat my words (as well as much of the food). It was marvellous, although I doubt I will convert.

In Short, Things Are Grim: [August 17, 2002]
Sometimes, I find the web addictive. I should be doing something else. I want to talk about this but I'll let Metafilter do the job. Saves me typing on a Saturday (for those who don't want to click: The World...

Yesterday was Ben Affleck's Birthday: [August 16, 2002]
Thank God for the internet, for without its vast reach I would not have know that yesterday was Ben Affleck's birthday.

On The Town: [August 15, 2002]
They are perfectly reasonable people in the working environment but they may be awful when you get a shandy in them. I suspect this may be a late night.

The Art of the Blog: [August 14, 2002]
I have been thinking some more about this whole blogging lark. I have always said that the most fascinating part of the online community has been personal homepages. They drawn me in like some crazed stalker. However, you put it...

When Love Comes To Town: [August 13, 2002]
My latest book review!! When Love Comes To TownTom LennonThere are many fictional coming-out tales to choose from, so why this read Lennons? Firstly, there aren't that many set in contemporary Dublin. Secondly, there are not too many told with...

Don't Call Me Stupid: [August 12, 2002]
If you believe the old-timers then the nation is becoming stupid. Perhaps not actually the nation but then a good proportion of the people are less intelligent than their counterparts in previous generations. Every media is dumbing down because we...

State Of The Town: [August 11, 2002]
Jonathan Fenby wrote an excellent piece in today's Observer (which thankfully I have found online and can link to) about the state of the British capital? I admit that I hoped Ken would help sort some of the mess this...

Survival: [August 10, 2002]
Well. now I know that a champagne hangover isn't very bad. Or perhaps I took my own advice for I am feeling OK this morning. The night was good - lots of champagne (bought in advance during the Happy Hour)...

The Night Ahead: [August 09, 2002]
I am off to a leaving party tonight in some swanky bar. I know that I shall drink too much and shall spoil the entire weekend for myself now. Unfortunately, I also know that there is nothing that I am...

Water, Water Everywhere: [August 08, 2002]
The pictures of cars almost submerged are strangely reminiscent of my home town of Shrewsbury

Where Are You Now, Miss Boo?: [August 07, 2002]
My review of the story of Boo - an interesting tale of a business with no financial controls. [0 comments]

To Some People Enola Gay is Just a Pop Song: [August 06, 2002]
Did you know that today is Hiroshima Day? It seems to have missed me. I think this is something we should all be thinking about at this time.

Baby News: [August 05, 2002]
A quick visit to Norway.

The Taxi Cometh: [August 03, 2002]
I head off to the airport shortly. I spent a good proportion of last night packing and, therefore, seem to have only had three hours sleep. I really need to organise my life more to prevent this kind of thing...

A Weekend Airbourne: [August 02, 2002]
Weekend plans. I am going to a christening, which in itself does not seem an odd thing to do at the weekend. I am, however, flying at 0630 tomorrow morning to Amsterdam, then to Stavanger and then on to Kristiansand,...

Welcome To August 2002: [August 01, 2002]
So I did it. I had set myself the challenge to write this blog everyday for one whole calender month and, I think, I have completed it. I did it for several reasons, one of which was to see if...
