Tee hee hee – what a fab film. And actually a surprisingly nice film, given the ripe language, and adult theme. So often films leave a nasty taste in the mouth, but Anchorman.. well I’m sitting here typing this with a big smile on my face! The story follows Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) as the […]

Oh happy day – parliament have voted to ban all indoor smoking. At long last I’ll be able to go out to pubs and restauants without having my evening spoilt by second-hand smoke, and I can come home without my clothes and hair stinking of burnt tobacco. I have the tiniest slither of sympathy for […]

I actually love this time of year – yes it’s rainy and cold still, but every morning it’s just a little bit brighter in the morning, and you can’t help feeling the overall thrust the weather is taking is towards warmth and sunshine once more. This morning, as I walked to the station, I wouldn’t […]

What a very odd film this is. Still, I get to do crazy CSS in order to display the title properly – i ♥ huckabees – see! But then it was no great surprise, this was always going to be an odd film as it follows Albert Markovski (Jason Schwartzman), a environmentalist who doesn’t know […]

So the exciting news is that I’ve been recommended for training for ordination in the Church of England. It is probably possible to deduce this from the last few entries, but I didn’t want to come out with it until our friends, families and work-places had been told! If all goes to plan I’ll start […]

Well, it arrived – as I was halfway along the M42, as it happens! It was excellent news, which I am greatly looking forward to writing all about in the not too distant future. But not tonight.

I’m expecting an important phone call in the next 24 hours or so, but I don’t know exactly when it’s going to come. I’d forgotten what the anticipation of waiting for a phone call is like – I remember when A. and I were courting, and for about half an hour before the time we […]

One of those online quizzes has been doing the rounds at work – the ones with numbers and letters where each letter stands for a word, so you have 24 H in a D = 24 Hours in a Day Well, you get the picture. Anyway, there’s two parts to the quiz; the first part […]
