Random story element – part 2

As requested, here is another excerpt from my [as yet unfinished] story… It is very rough and I keep referring to ‘he’ and ’she’ as I haven’t yet named the main two protagonists!)
As he turned to look through the back window of the speeding car he realised that they were unable to put any significant [...]

Bond between father and son

Having just read through this myself I must admit I found it very touching. Be sure to watch the video that is linked at the end of the article, too. It will only take 5 mintues of your time.

Random story element – part 1

As part of an ongoing series of random posts…
As sleepy eyes adjusted to the strong glare from the hallway below it was clear that the day, at least in the short-term, was bright and sunny. The opening of the blinds in the lounge further emphasised the fact and the blue sky appeared to [...]

Well, it made me laugh…

A quick joke I stumbled across on another site I regularly visit (with a slight change to the details)…
After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists have found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand [...]

Easy connect my arse!

How can such an innocent and simple task as setting up a home network and connecting to the Internet become so painful and time-consuming? How? Easy… all you need is a fantastic piece of hardware known as a Sponge Router. The Sponge Router does nothing more than sucks up any data packets it receives and [...]

The long weekend

You may have noticed that I’ve been strangely absent for a few days. And you may have been missing my refreshing, lively, informative and interesting posts (although I highly doubt it!) The long weekend went something like this…
Wow… the UK train service has really improved since I last used it. Comfy seating, table, electric power [...]

One year older and 10 years wiser

Happy Birthday to me. Yay. Bruce Lee sent me his best wishes… I present the censored version below. (Please excuse the colourful language…)

I’m hopeful that my birthday this year will be a lot more enjoyable.

A bleak time

The periphery of my vision had started to darken and there was a chill in the air. A strange chill that I had never noticed before. I was feeling very much the pariah; an outcast who had lost touch with those things that were important for an everyday existence. I felt that I was losing [...]

Temporary absence

Dear reader(s)…
Due to technical difficulties beyond my control (from the place I call home) I find myself without Internet services, without telephone services and without digital services. Yes – my channels of communication are currently well and truly broken. I’m posting this from work – so I need to be brief – and I’m looking [...]

Pick a direction, any direction…

I have a strange feeling that I’m about to hit one of those ‘life crossroads’ shortly. The question is… what do I do when I get there? The truth is that I’m not quite the normal, happy-go-lucky type of guy that I was a short while ago. Whilst I’m not unhappy per se there are [...]
