Pride and prejudice meets Fight Club

The filthy underbelly of society rears its ugly head

So it’s been a weekend of ups and downs for me, it started with a very big down when I found some scum bag has stolen my bike. Friday, intending on taking a ride, I wandered down to the garage (which is supposed to be residents only and is behind an access controlled door) and discovered my bike was not where I left it.

Grid-it bag organiser

If, like me, you carry a bag around with you and spend most of your time fishing stuff out of the in-built pockets then this handy thing might help sort you out. Don't be fooled by gadgets they have shown in the photos, the elasticated grid mechanism is generic.

So going to get one. After pay day. :)

Fishcon 30 July - 2 Aug - Food

Rather than just assuming Pete is ok with cooking for the millionth time, I thought it better - almost polite - to ask nicely.

Pete, would you be a star and do some cooking. On behalf the lads, we'll be your kitchen bitches.

If not, let's divvy up the evenings. :-) Bagsy Thursday!

Are there any dietary requirements this time?

I was dreaming that I was dreaming about dreaming about watching Inception but it turned out that was a dream

Went to the cinema decided I wanted something upbeat and humorous so asked for a ticket for “despicable me” but found when I got to the screen I’d actually got a ticket for Inception … it was like this dream I had once where I was a anthropomorphic pig flying biplanes … or was that Porco Roso.

There in the distance the promised land … or the freeway I can’t really tell due to the sun

Went for another cycle today and managed to get as far as the freeway that I take to work. The GPS tracker app I had on my phone reckoned I’d gone 2.7 miles which tallies with what google estimates.
