What a good idea. Apparently at least. I'd be all for putting down a lot of the tram lines too. They do have the point that many old train tracks go places people don't want to go, but I'm not sure that's totally true everywhere. Where my parents liv

Oh for goodness' sake. Funny how you get used to stuff, isn't it?! We have WordPress installed at work, and I have one at home I'd tried with totest the install. It's worse than blogger to use. Apart from all the stuff I can't do, it's such a faff to

It seems a long time since we've had any smilies. That's partly cos I had to rebuild or rather recycle lots of my laptop when it was crashing all the time. Personally I never considered my smilies bugs, but there you go. Anyway, they're back. Though

Before I went to America I closed a couple of doors. One especially. Well I didn't exactly close it, I just let it swing to. No, that's not right either, I did consciously set out to do something, I just wasn't sure what. It was not long after the et

The other day, I very nearly emailed someone and said what have 1170 and 2006 have in common? Massacres in cathedrals. Two weeks ago there was a DCS rehearsal in the Cathedral at which Richard said very quietly 'You... Don't... Know... These... Works
