  • Not a bad weekend

    Not the busiest of weekends, but a good one. We took it easy on the Saturday morning, then after a very late breakfast walked into Oxford, and went for a wander around the Ashmolean museum. Some very interesting things there, but laid out in a somewhat chaotic fashion. Certainly needs the update it is getting…

  • The Ramones – I wanna be sedated

    One of the things I regret about my teenage years was missing out on liking The Ramones. I should have done. Tags: ramones music video

  • Black

    I look out of my window to see that a curtain of darkness has covered the view. I can only see the faint black outlines of buildings. Shadows are everywhere, following people and cars, or just standing next to houses. Trees look like people, black as evil. An ebony black cat strolls around, its eyes…

  • Cheery chap

    Well, much better mood now. Just one of those things where a bit more sleep helps make the world a better place. I think I am very highly tuned in such regard, it is only a matter of an hour or two’s sleep either way that can turn me from happy to fed up in…

  • World Shut Your Mouth – Julian Cope

    Let’s start the day with something irrepressibly jolly. The mic stand in this video is fantastic, and how often do you ever want to say that? Tags: music video

  • The Safety Dance – Men Without Hats

    I cannot describe how elated I was to see this video again. I have since the moment I first saw it been able to actually do the safety dance on demand. Utter musical lunacy. I must try and find anything else of theirs, just to see what the hell they were like. Tags: music video

  • Rubbish

    Feel like utter rubbish today. Was all over the place last night, couldn’t place it, and then today I feel crap, light-headed and generally just coldish, aching and many forms of miserable. Mrsfb is off today, I’m in work, so I strongly suspect I’ve got a mild version of what she has. Grrrrrr. It also…

  • Back to the future

    Friday involved a visit to a physio. I’ve been having some bother with my back for a little while, just lower back pain and being a bit immobile at times, so was referred by my docs. Comforting to have been checked out and told there is nothing big wrong, just need to do some exercises…

  • Election night special

    I am up late here watching the election night coverage. We have had local council elections, I have used my democratic right to vote, and now am doing the other important part, waiting to see what my vote has got me. It looks like we may have a Labour council once more in Oxford, but…
