  • What's up with twitter today? Only my own and @jackofkent's tweets are showing on my home page. #
  • 2.5 hours with a mortgage advisor. Brain hurts. #fb #
  • Offer on house accepted. No chain so let's see how quickly we can get in. Gulp. #fb #
  • I've spent the evening compiling my top 10 films for a weekly meme we've been doing at work. Will post to my blog tomorrow lunchtime #fb #

As a follow-up to Desert Island Discs, the team at work have been doing our top ten films, and this week was my turn. The only condition was that one of the ten had to be set in London. Once again, I’ll be buggered if I’m writing all this lot up and not turning it into a blog post.
My Top Ten Films... )


You’ve obviously never groomed a My Little Pony.

Very True Mood: (amused) amused

  • With @Opera 10.50, I can't log into @ebay. Sessions seem to time out instantly. Anyone else having problems? #

  • It finally happened. Just got the EU-mandated browser choice screen pushed to me by Windows Update. #fb #
  • All this no alnum stuff go around in JavaScript is very clever and very stupid at the same time. #
  • 11 bags to charity shop. 3 bags to tip. 3 bags recylcing, 2 rubbish, to put out tonight. 1 stereo gone on freecycle. Not finished yet… #fb #
  • Apparently I don't blink properly. The things you learn when you visit an optician. #fb #
  • Of course, every few years I need to try one to remind myself why I don't actually like wheat beers all that much #fb #
  • And now Meantime Wheat in our Sainsbury's Local. Is someone smuggling good beer into West Norwood supermarkets? If so, I thank them. #fb #
  • Off work. But… It's raining. I've been to Oxford Street. The world is full of idiots.
    I feel like having a very sweary, shouty moment! #fb #

  • I favourited a YouTube video — New Doctor Who Trailer featuring the Doctor and Amy! – BBC One http://youtu.be/EpbmMhNe6aA?a #
  • Nice surprise to find St Peter's Ruby Red Ale in West Norwood Tesco Express. #fb #
  • Not impressed by the wankers who hacked one of our sites today. :-( #
  • Civilization on Facebook – no one will ever get any work done ever again…
    http://bit.ly/cHdkne #fb #
  • Oh and butter beans as well. #fb #
  • Aubergine, carrot, spinach, pepper, garlic, tomato – not quite a traditional vege chilli but it worked really well. :-) #fb #
  • Feeling very tired – up all night trying to decide whether a particular house was the right one to buy #fb #
  • I favourited a YouTube video — "Fear the Boom and Bust" a Hayek vs. Keynes Rap Anthem http://youtu.be/d0nERTFo-Sk?a #
  • Just found that Firefox <3.6 has the same bug wrt floating <legend> elements that IE<8 has. Changing them to <h3> to spare myself the pain. #
  • Turned off Google Buzz: there's no one using it that isn't on Facebook or Twitter, and as an aggregator the UI just doesn't work for me #fb #
  • I favourited a YouTube video — Catchy song, funny film with pretty nurses. Doctor Can – Ben Dalby [HD] http://youtu.be/ZUMSYQIRir8?a #

Today I …

  • Sat through a very long, very boring presentation and only yawned once
  • Calmly dealt with a site getting hacked
  • Laughed at a rubber duck’s antics

One day to go and then a week off.


  • Testing Opera 10.5 Beta: http://opera.com/browser/next/ Liking it so far. #fb #
  • F***ing Flash keeps on crashing my computer. Maybe Apple have a point. #fb #
  • Half the office is off entertaining partners and we have a film crew in the boardroom. Makes for an usual atmosphere around the place. #fb #
  • NCIS and Numb3rs were both "meh" tonight. Need some better telly. #
  • Trying hard not to come down with a cold. Big bowl of chilli should help. #fb #

  • Damn YouTube clips – now want to rewatch both Babylon 5 and The West Wing. #fb #
  • My plan for the weekend is quality time at home with my wife. Cook some good food, watch some good DVDs, try to relax. #
  • Marmite Cheddar Bites http://bit.ly/3bLJc9 – should be so wrong, in many ways are, but I love them… #fb #
  • Sending old cover discs to recycling, if I haven't bothered to put it in the drive in 3 years, I'm not likely to do so now, am I? #
  • Dinosaurs were cool. Photos not the best but some okay ones. A teaser: http://bit.ly/bXmUd0 #fb #
  • Okay, so tonight is dinosaur night! #
  • Silly me, dinosaurs are tomorrow night. Tonight is the ice age (in our flat). #fb #
