Got a wood burning stove whatsit in the kitchens at Chez Gorilla these days. Splendid thing, or will be when I find out how to stop the room filling with smoke that really ought to be going up the chimney. I suspect a simian malfunction at the installation stage. It's all about sustainability isn't it. No. It's about dead trees being much...

Relativity & Continuation

Posted by monza gorilla , 01 December 2010 - - - - - - · 117 views

Made a comment on Steph's blog back in February and it got me thinking. About the four G's. That'll be Gifford, Godfrey, Gwen and Garth. Siblings all and mad as cheese. And, regrettably, all now late. I knew them well. Godfrey featured in a long ago blog entry, lurking in a graveyard by moonlight, doing things illegal. Gifford was my...

A Fine Dusting Of Thick

Posted by monza gorilla , 27 January 2010 - - - - - - · 85 views

Been a long time since I rock'n'rolled wrote a blog entry. Seems like a year ago. The title doesn't mean anything in particular (or does it?). Just liked the way the words fit together. So, what to say. Firstly, chez Gorilla at last has a kitchen that doesn't include unsightly piles of power tools, saw dust, pieces of brick and naked...

It's Not Easy Being Green

Posted by monza gorilla , 22 January 2009 - - - - - - · 91 views

So then, how green are you? There was a debate, in a dark recess of the forum, about global warming a while back, and a good many of the forum regulars waxed sage on the doom that must surely befall us. I recall there was a good deal of - to paraphrase Mr Gilmour - "why should I try to see the other side when I know mine is right" going on. And I...

Mortality And Being Oblivious

Posted by monza gorilla , 30 November 2008 - - - - - - · 117 views

Mrs Gorilla had yet another birthday last week. So I carted her off to Marco Pierre White's place for some tip top fodder and so forth. Nice room, comfy bed and truly scrumptious food. I like a bit of offal, and consumed many kidneys. And best of all, no lager! Not on tap, or in bottles. Only proper manly beer, which is how it should be. I may move...

And So It Begins

They finally came and towed the Scim away this morning. I know this because I saw it half an hour ago sitting on the forecourt, between a DB9 and Jensen Interceptor, with bits of it's engine hanging out.
Here's the plan: originally we were going to drop in a cologne 3.9 as a straight swap, but I've come over all original and sympathetic since...

The Best Things In Life Are Free

Posted by monza gorilla , 29 March 2008 - - - - - - · 85 views

Oh yes. Have you ever sat out in the middle of nowhere, gazing at the mountains/sea/sky/generic natural wonder/scantily clad ladies beach volleyball team, and thought to yourself "this is as good as it gets"? Brilliant, isn't it.

Things Beyond Our Ken

Posted by monza gorilla , 29 February 2008 - - - - - - · 71 views

Hands up who believes in ghosts? And if you do, what do you think they are? Spirits of the departed? Echoes? A glimpse into another time as through a fogged window? Or the invention of a (wine) befuddled mind?
Happenings chez Gorilla these past months have made me consider all of the possibilities above. Chez Gorilla was built in the 1870s (we think,...

Dirt Is Good

Posted by monza gorilla , 27 February 2008 - - - - - - · 56 views

Have you noticed how many people (especially the dear little kiddywinks) seem to have allergies these days? Or asthma? Or food intolerance? I have. And have you ever wondered why this should be so? I have, and it piques my curiosity.
Now, without a doubt, there is more atmospheric pollution from road vehicles in our towns and cities which may contribute to...

Volte Face

Posted by monza gorilla , 13 January 2008 - - - - - - · 85 views

Well, that didn't last, did it? I altered my mind. It's a knack. I shall lurk in the cafe. And outside the F1 circus. Until sense and reason overcome hysteria and paranoia. And blind idiocy. That'll be a long time, then.

I've just enjoyed my turn at hosting the norovirus. It makes your ribs hurt. And there is the constant fear that...
