2004 In Review - [January 01, 2005]

Weekend Away - [December 06, 2004]
A weekend with my mum was a great deal of fun even if we had to pretend it was Christmas early! [0 comments]

Pride - [July 26, 2003]
For the first time in many, many year, the Pride festival took place in Hyde Park and I was there.

Pop Life - [May 30, 2003]
Off to see Erasure tonight

Florence, Italy - [February 17, 2003]
I am in Florence, Italy. I know that I am lucky to be able to travel (this trip is business) but I am not sure I want to be here right now. I am only here for meetings tomorrow. I...

Wasted Weekends - [October 21, 2002]
I feel very strange things about this Monday morning. You see I didn't do any of the things I wish I had done over the last weekend.

Awww - [October 14, 2002]
I was certainly right. I ached this morning. Almost every bone and several parts I didn't really know that I had. It remains, however, a great feeling not to have spent the day indoors watching television on a wet Sunday...

Starmaker, Dream Breaker - [October 13, 2002]
So it's all getting a bit spooky. There I was on Friday night remembering the songs from the TV series of Fame (I preferred the TV series as it was much fluffier. Being so young, the grittiness of the film...

Friday Night's Gonna Be Alright - [October 11, 2002]
Friday nigh's gonna be alright.

Mussels - [October 10, 2002]
I used to work with most of these guys six or seven (if not more) years ago and we've all remained in contact ever since.

Weymouth - [October 05, 2002]
[Written on my Palm & posted Sunday 6th] Arrived in Weymouth last night and went out with PY's mother and her husband to a lovely Chinese restaurant (I do love Chinese food). Today we spent ambling around Weymouth town centre...

A Walk on the Wild Side - [October 04, 2002]
My two days off have been great; I've been to Bristol

Nearly There - [October 02, 2002]
As I am not going to fake the blog then you, dear reader, must put up with the dull bits as well as the not-so-dull.

Sunday - [September 29, 2002]
A pointless post for a Sunday.

Saturday - [September 28, 2002]
I am probably saying more in this excerpt of the post than I am in the post itself.

Working Late (again) - [September 27, 2002]
Working. I want to work, that’s for sure but I am not sure what I want to do for a living. My job is OK and pays well but it’s hardly the most stimulating of careers and, what’s more, I...

Aggghhh - [September 25, 2002]
I fear I am ill. I have been having those aches that come with either flu or food poisoning all afternoon and now I seem to have started a fever. Perhaps I should head home…...

Nike 10K - [September 23, 2002]
I want to pass comment on the fact that PY, my significant other/partner/general love of my life, ran the Nike 10K Run London event yesterday in a time which beat his run last year. I was nearly in tears when...

Tired - [September 21, 2002]
Another night of entertaining on Old Compton Street

South Bank. Friends from North. - [September 20, 2002]
The South Bank is my favourite area of London - there really is not contest - and it's still growing!

Old Compton Street At Night - [September 18, 2002]
Late at night in London's gay heart, Old Compton Street, I have a change of heart about the place.

Racing Car - [September 15, 2002]
I got a remote controlled racing car for my birthday (which was earlier in the week). I am now behaving like a kid with, er, a remote controlled racing car. What a fantastic feeling it is to have such a...

Sunday, London - [September 08, 2002]
Another day looking around London

Old Friends - [September 07, 2002]
Today was a good day to get reacquainted with people who I haven't seen for a while.

I Keep Buying Books - [September 02, 2002]
How did I end up with a book from a seafood festival?

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...

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.

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.

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

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,...

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.

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

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

Marry Me - [July 27, 2002]
Congratulations!

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.

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

Shopping Madness - [June 22, 2002]
So, I try and buy a new power supply from a computer supplier (let's say they are called Tell Computers). Buy online and pay by credit card. They will only ship to credit card billing address. No problem I say,...

Paris in the Summer - [June 19, 2002]
I don’t know what to think. I am so tired. I had a business meeting in Paris Monday. Travelled Eurostar. It’s usually fabulous. Up at 4.30 to make the 6.20 train was OK but the 18:16 return train was delayed...
