Following up on my earlier post on Atlantic 252’s birthday, I found a sample of the launch audio on a cassette at the back of a cupboard. Not the greatest quality but it might be of interest to radio fans.
LATRE: Now updated to some audio I found on the web of the full first day of Long Wave Atlantic 252!
If anyone else is planning a quick attack on parliament like yesterday’s fox-hunting supporters, I suggest you consult the handy maps attached to every BBC News story on the subject!
Unrelated, Amanda was in London last weekend and on this day in 2002. Maybe she likes September in London – I know I do.
In 1999, I was lucky enough to travel to Jamaica to see my father, who was working there then. If I am honest, I wasn’t very taken with Kingston, but outside the capital, it’s a beautiful country. I will not forget the day on the speedboat cutting across the clear waters, nor will I forget freshly caught lobster, cooked and eaten on the beach. This week I have been wondering what happened to these places after Hurricane Ivan went on its seek-and-destroy mission across the Caribbean.
You can’t really see this picture too clearly, but the author of the book This Diary Will Change Your Life 2005 was eating the book this lunchtime at Waterstones, Piccadilly. I have no idea if he finished it or not, and there was nobody buying it when I was in the shop, just a photographer taking pictures. I thought it was an odd way to promote a book.
For several months, I have been trying to find a fishmonger – a good, decent purveyor of fine foods who will have fresh fish but prepare it for me on site and explain a little more about it. And today I found a great little place by Clapham South Underground station: Moxons.
I have no real reason to post this about Matt Damon and porn apart from the fact that it amused me a great deal:
It’s difficult to tell if Damon’s tongue was firmly implanted in his cheek when he spoke, but World Entertainment News Network is reporting that Matt wants to make a “character-driven” XXX flick – with, dare we say it, a plot. [source]
And Steph and Alek have some great pictures. It’s probably not wise to think about it a great deal.
Really, I am not sure Steph and Alek should be allowed to post images of so many cute things. It doesn’t help when you’re catching up on their site over lunch! These images from a Counting Crows video make me want to watch music television all day just to see if it shows up.
So I had the day off work today and planned to do lots of things. I did, in fact, do quite a lot, but not the things I wanted to do. I wanted to work on some website projects and other stuff I usually don’t have time for. Still, I upgraded this Movable Type instance to 3.11 so I can see the new features. I also moved it to a MySQL database rather than leaving it on the static files that it used to be on. I hope this has made it better, but there will be – no doubt- some oddities that need ironing out.

Happy Birthday, Steve. Your Gail Tisley comments are on the site – honest! It’s my present to you!
