At The Going Down Of The Sun And In The Morning...

Posted by monza gorilla , 09 November 2005 - - - - - - · 21 views

It's Remembrance day tomorrow, 11th November. I always take time to think about the enormity of what this day represents. Makes you feel more than a little insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but also great pride, and gratitude.

Last night on TV the BBC broadcast a programme in which the last 27 surviving British veterans of WW1 shared their...

More Of The Same, With Added Drivel.

Posted by monza gorilla , 17 October 2005 - - - - - - · 24 views

Well, the grand move is set for Friday this week, and I'll be glad when it's over. For one thing, it'll mean the return of internet access at home, and I'll have somewhere to park the car.

A long time ago, I promised you all the latest news from the world of cheese. Actually, I can't be bothered. This is because the true cheese expert...

Sheep

More doom and gloom I'm afraid. This time it's the Kashmir region of India and Pakistan. Watching the TV last night, and reading newspaper reports, I'm once again mightily p**sed off with politicians. Aid workers in Pakistani Kashmir are not permitted to go to the assistance of those in Indian Kashmir, even though it's only a 20 minute...

Nothing

Posted by monza gorilla , 23 September 2005 - - - - - - · 35 views

Well, I see it's over 2 weeks since my last entry, so I suppose I ought to make another contribution, and I promise it won't be as gloomy as the last one, but it may be rather short as I am getting low on the hummus.
There's nothing much to report apart from the fact that it's raining and I don't speak Spanish (I discovered this last...

A Jaundiced View

Posted by , 06 September 2005 - - - - - - · 40 views

My apologies in advance, but it's a depressing and rather sober entry this time round.Watching the unfolding events in the USA this past week, I've been struck by the difference between refugees and victims of natural disaster in, say, New Orleans compared with people in similar situations in less developed nations.This is a sweeping generalisation,...

Goodbye To A 90s Lemon.....

Posted by , 24 August 2005 - - - - - - · 29 views

Another day, another car sold.This time it was my Sterling Coupe I waved bye bye to.A very confused car indeed. Designed for the American market it failed spectacularly, mainly due to apalling build quality, a stupid price tag, and the fact that the yanks were smarter than we thought ( :D ) and didn't fall for it. But on a good day it was like driving...

Goodbye To A 70's Icon.

Posted by , 15 August 2005 - - - - - - · 28 views

Some fool has bought the TR7!! :D Unfortunately I've lost the keys to the garage that it lives in. :( This is what is generally known as a bad thing, but brute force and some choice tools should do the trick. Did you know the TR7 was designed by Harris Mann as a convertible, but fear that American legislation would outlaw soft tops led to the...

Well, I've successfully vacated my house. This means that I no longer have internet access at home, so I now sneak visits from my office pc.No unpacking necessary as we're on the move again in 8 weeks to the baronial mansion we've just purchased.I promise that the next entry will not be about house moves.

It Just Gets Worse And Worse!

Posted by , 28 July 2005 - - - - - - · 35 views

My house is full of boxes, which are full of stuff I didn't know I'd got, and will probably never need.......My girlfriend's house is starting to fill up with boxes which are full of even more stuff I don't really want/need/use.......And, today, we sold her house as well..... Which means that when I've moved my worldly possessions and my...

Coooeeee! Mr Shifter!

Posted by , 26 July 2005 - - - - - - · 35 views

Woo! Yay! Houpla! I've sold my house at last! Unfortunately I've only got until Tuesday next week to move out. A man accumulates an awful lot of stuff over the years, most of it completely useless, but I just can't throw any of it away - I might need it one day. (sound familiar?) I think I'm about to become an expert in the...
