It ain’t cheap
Getting married isn’t cheap, not by any means. We, thankfully, have had wonderful family around us who’ve paid for ‘most everything; for which I am awesomely grateful. But I’ve just discovered that there are some things you only discover afterwards. We spent a lot of time discussing it, and decided to change our names to…

Unadulterated warbling
So, more from the delayed update fairy. Today Kathryn awoke me with a kiss and the information that Obama had won the US election. I was hopeful but wary, considering that I’d spent some of yesterday watching the video / reading the Rolling Stone article on Republican maneuvering to remove nearly 20% of voters in some areas.…

More updates
People often comment on the black humour of the medical profession, nurses, perhaps are renown for their dark jokes. Playing on the humour of situations which definately don’t have humour in them. A little while ago IÂ was involved in the treatment of a young person who had attempted suicide. One of the side effects of…

I have a good excuse this time :)
So, as I often say to start posts; um, it’s been a while… I can’t actually remember when IÂ last posted. It was probably a rant about builders. But this time IÂ have a good excuse. We’ve been busy *grins*. So, I did my ATNC course, which I think IÂ also whined about; this is the Advanced Trauma…

Grey Hairs All Round
So, it’s been a bit of a week, really. Well, couple of weeks. What started as a one week kitchen renovation ended up taking 4 weeks and a day; and still isn’t actually finished; we’re missing two drawer/cupboard handles and there’s some filler that needs sanding, the walls, sadly, still need painting and the outside…

Angry post -> Quote of the day
Having buggered off home at mid day, because working from 9 ’til 12 is a tough day’s work for these guys [/sarcasm] I found, as IÂ mentioned before that they’d cut off the water supply because (our poll says)Â they’re idiots. Their supervisor finally locates them and drags them back. IÂ go down and go through the whole,…

So, that was the correct choice…
IÂ am definately ill today. Not, thankfully, deeply sick type ill. Just ‘unwell’. My throat and ear definately hurt and IÂ probably should have skipped work yesterday. I’m off sick tonight. What’s less good is that the builders, who work at a pace that’d make a sloth seem quick, have informed me that the kitchen will be…

Because I am weak (last night at 4:11am)
Okay, so I shouldn’t be looking at e-bay. I can’t afford anything anyhow, and I’ve no space for one, but sometimes it’s nice just to windowshop. In this case, I was looking at DKW Junior’s (I just wondered how much they sell for, and how common they are). Being as it’s a german car I…

I’ve found a new toy to desire
So, let’s list the automobilia IÂ like: Classic cars Small cars Quirky vehicles Two stroke engines East german stuff Simplicity Insanity. Oddly, the Minor fulfills very few of these, but is my favourite. Perhaps because minor’s are my first automotive love. MZs fulfill a lot of these, and trabants (which I don’t own any of) also…

I’m sorry, WTF?!
So, one of the church’s fine clergy has stepped up and declared that gay men* should have identifying tattoos on their faces, informing the world that they’re gay. He also wants a return to anti-glbt teaching. But why stop there; why not ensure that gay people are easily identifyable with pink triangles, perhaps green triangles…
