We all seem to have stopped writing blogs
Posted on 9:48am Tuesday 11th November 2008
But was anyone reading them? Links make no sense any more as they're bunged over to the right, and all old links have disappeared. I'm not as miffed as I might sound, just curious. Most of the time I wasn't that worried if no-one did read them - although I was pleased when people did - writing can be very cathartic. Especially when it's an "and another bloody thing" style rant.

At least no-one can claim that councillors are humourless and pompous

Good responses by the residents there. Hats off to them.

Might as well jump on the bandwagon

Hang Ross and Brand! FFS ... it's not as if they killed anyone. And what a witch-hunt. Even the bloke who calls himself the country's leader is havign a pop. Pathetic.

Gibbets

That's what I'd like to hang from the lamp-posts along Rotherstone and Avon Terrace. And in each one, place the body of a driver who races down there whilst chatting on their mobile. That's after I, a few other concerned residents and a length of 2 by 4 have pointed out the error of their ways.

A real 1970s injury
Posted on 8:31am Thursday 23rd October 2008
I cut myself whilst opening a tin of corned beef yesterday morning. Old fashioned one - with a key. Could I have had a more retro-wound without snagging myself on a Ronco Buttoneer? Thinking about it, I can't remember the last time that I heard of anyone 'getting caught' in a ip. Does it happen any more?

Nearly did my bit for the town last night

But my reactions let me down. I was driving past the cemetery just before 20:00 yesterday when one of our charming street-drinking druggy pals cam cycling towards me. He (I prefer the term 'it' but I've been advised that these people are human too) had no lights on. He was wearing a camouflage jacket.

Some people go to a lot of effort getting things onto the internet

That doesn't always include the good people at Stagecoach busses.

Young people should show more respect?

It's still early, I'm at my desk but I've had contrasting experiences already today. And I'm in a bad mood.

How much?
Posted on 12:10pm Monday 13th October 2008
Mandy and I went to her cousin's wedding reception at the Angel in Chippenham on Friday. The do itself was great. And they had a Real Ale on - St Austell 'Tribute'. But £3.55 a pint! That's outrageous.

What's going on here?
Posted on 9:25am Wednesday 1st October 2008
I have a look at the G&H site and it's all changed. Do they let us know beforehand? Do they bunnies! I'm not expecting special treatment as a regular (and unpaid) contributor, but a note wrapped around a bottle of Bruichladdich or 1989 St Emilion would have been nice.
