Alex's Adventures on the Infobahn

Saturday I managed the small piece of DIY by finally painting over the hideous brown of the central ceiling rose in my front room. Unfortunately as around 3 coats of paint where needed I didn’t get the new lights up that night being late as I was for Lucy’s Halloween party. I went for the [...]

I caught up with Sheila last night for a few after work drinks. I met a bunch of her work/TKD friends including a lass by the name of Clare. Turns out she is a software engineer which was nice. For some reason my industry has a deficit of female software engineers. We chatted for a [...]

The companies 5th Birthday party was a relatively quiet affair involving free food (which I didn’t eat much off having stuffed myself at lunch with Paula, Lee et all). However the 3 crates of Stella lasted about 1.5 hours which may of explained the pictures of me playing twister. There was Boddingtons as well but [...]

Scot pointed out Mitch Benn is playing at Matt and Phreads tomorrow. I love working in town.

I finished off the final hour or so of The Godfather: Part II last night. It was probably a mistake to get the super extended special edition version in the first place. However in the end its still quite a good film, although not as good as Part I in my opinion. I also got [...]

Today has been a nice day of walking in the Yorkshire Dales with the folks and family friends. One thing I miss living in the city is the ability to walk 10 miles and see no other people (although a lot more sheep). The weather wasn?t perfect but certainly manageable. I appreciated the couple of [...]

Well I’m now booked on a flight to Barcelona next February for a skiing holiday in Andorra with a bunch of the guys from work. I hope my liver can take it….
