Ohhhh. I feel awful today. I woke up at 4.15am this morning, and couldn’t get back to sleep until 7am. I tried getting up, having a glass of water, going back to bed, switching on the light and reading three chapters of a book and then trying to go to sleep, and none of the [...]

I went to da movies last night for the first time in AGGGEEESSSS. I went to see Zodiac, a film about a killer who teased police in San Francisco during the early seventies. I’d seen a couple of documentaries about this case before, so I kind of knew the story, and thought the film would [...]

After seeing straws advertised which flavour normal milk, I’ve been keeping an eye out for them for ages. Finally at the weekend, I found some in Sainsbury’s. Yay!
I had seen Nesquik ones advertised, but they never seemed to materialise on the shelves. Maybe because of this.
The ones I found are called “Sipahh” and are made [...]

Yet another appallingly blurred photo from my mobile ‘phone camera. I really don’t know what’s up with it, but I shall be getting a new ‘phone soon. Hurry up iPhone!
Anyway, the ban on smoking in public places came into effect in Northern Ireland on the 30th April. One side effect of this has been that [...]

I had a very quiet weekend, getting my hair cut, going food shopping, all that kind of boring stuff you need to do every now and then. So until I’ve done something interesting enough to write about, here is the good news, and the bad news.
The bad news is that a bar in Florida has [...]

Most e-card sites like Hallmark.com are ok for generic happy birthday messages (although a real card is always better in my opinion!) but if you’re looking for e-cards with a bit of sarcasm and adult humour in them, check out someecards.com (some cards on the site are quite rude - disclaimer). The same categories as [...]

Did you watch Eurovision last night? I didn’t really as I was completely knackered after getting back from London. And I fancied Law and Order instead. I did however skim through it on my Tivo.
Russia’s act was called Serebro, and their lead singer is totally hot. That’s her in the middle of the pic above. [...]

I was a bit skint when I was in London, and was still keen to try and win something on McDonald’s Monopoly apart from a McMuffin, so it was McD’s for lunch.
My disappointment that Monopoly has finished was soon replaced by excitement that they have a new burger (two if you include a version with [...]

I was in London on Friday for work, so took the opportunity to stay over and do some quick shopping as well. I made my first visit to Abercrombie’s first store in the UK, in Burlington Gardens, just off Saville Row.
My thoughts? Well it is enormous for a start - much bigger than any [...]

Well I had a pretty lazy long bank holiday weekend there, which suited me after a frustrating week at work.
Saturday was lunch with G in Holywood, before visiting two shops I have never been to before. One was Matalan, which I wasn’t really that impressed with. The other was Lee Foods Oriental Supermarket, which I [...]
