Erreh Eh Emmeh!
This is an old tale but it’s a true one so I am compelled to include it here as it makes me shake my head even now – two years later!
So, REM came to Spain in May 2005 and played one date at Torrevieja. Obviously tickets were required for entry and so, after a bit of [...]

Don’t Mention…
Found one of these on another blog so visited the Spitfire Ale website and grabbed a few more. They are all from an ad campaign (the first two weren’t actually used, shame!).
Personally I think they’re hilarious. In the unlikely event that you don’t no apologies from me are forthcoming for your obvious lack of sense of humour.
Go [...]

Pot Holes
Hoorah!
The local ayuntamiento have finally had the road outside the house repaired. Well, sort of – they’ve filled the holes in rather than resurfaced the whole road, but it’s better than having to negotiate a virtual canyon on the approach to the driveway!
Ahh, life in Spain!

Cycling Snobbery
I did a fair amount of cycling when I lived in England.
I cycled around the Peak District, spent many hours cycling around the Yorkshire Dales, did a cross-country ride from Bridlington to Blackpool (stopping overnight in Malham), spent a weekend cycling around the Trossachs in Scotland and spent many, many hours cycling around the country lanes [...]

One Billion Bulbs
Like most people I like to think I do my bit to help the environment, recycling waste, turning off electrical appliances instead of leaving them on stand-by, switching off unnecessary lights etc.
But, have you ever considered how much we waste by not doing something as simple as changing the light bulbs in our homes? Have [...]

Flies
What is it with flies?
Are they stupid or something?
You’d think that after they’d come close to death a few times (courtesy of a swipe from my hand, or towel, or anything else close by) that they’d get the message and bugger off. I mean they’re called flies for god’s sake. Why don’t they just fly [...]

Spam!
Having been deluged with spam over the last week or so and then finding myself locked out of my ISP’s webmail client it transpires that my ISP’s Webmail database has been hacked into and countless email address stolen/harvested for use by the b*st*rds who send out junk mail.
Here’s a quote from my ISP on the issue:
‘We [...]

Radio Caroline
Came across the website for the original UK pirate radio station this evening. I don’t know about you but I wasn’t even aware that the radio station was still transmitting, but it is, loud and strong too!
If you’ve never heard of Radio Caroline (and chances are if you’re under 30 you probably won’t have) you have it to [...]
