Needless to say, I’m still peeved. But not frantic

Shhhhhhhhh.
This is top-secret stuff.
But not exactly high-security, now I think about it.
You might not be surprised that I have yet another blog project on the go?
It’s in very early stages yet. But if you want to check it out, have a gander at Computer Noob. It’s a blog for all things techie and confusing. And [...]

I’m not a fan of tinned and packet soups. Usually they’re so full of sugar, salt and artificial flavourings as to be pointless (might as well eat a packet of chips). Or they’re just plain BLAHHHHH.
BUT!
I found me some new soup.
This is not a paid post, k? Sadly, I won’t even get any free soup [...]

Bubba Boy has always had a few troubles when it comes to getting air out of his stomach and released back into the wild. Part of this is probably due to digestive issues – he’s dairy- and gluten-intolerant – but part seems to be due to a slight back misalignment that he gets whenever he [...]

I’m figuring that y’all might like something slightly newer than 1980.
Am I right?

Warning: Every now and then, Virgin Broadband SUCKS.
I’ve got very, very intermittent internet. Like, taking me 2 hours to get the ‘new post’ page up. But don’t worry, I haven’t been sitting here just trying to get it to load. There’s [...]

I’ve worked out how to fool my body.

Just as I start thinking that I’m back in the game, my computer starts threatening a blow-up and my internet dies and my home phone likewise cos they run off the same box. Dammit. I have a couple of posts written up so I might seem to be around anyway…. or maybe Virgin will get [...]

… and again, sadly, it’s got nothing to do with Hot Hunk Thursday. But then, as I pointed out to Riayn weeks ago, pictures of gorgeous women usually work better for me. Except when we’re talking Tim Curry back in his Frankenfurter days.
Anyway, back onto the train of thought. Un-de-rail said train. Right.
