People are scum – period

I don’t know why I used that horrific Americanism, period. Too late, no retractions. Last night I had an experience which made me lose all respect for humanity. I woke up around 3.30am and, being paranoid, made my customary out-of-window survey of Storm. Something wasn’t quite right. She was there, but I could see something… Read More »

Bored

Today I have not achieved a great deal. I have suffered a failed sale my panniers, but have another potential sale with somebody else. For those who do not know, I have been on a selling spree. I’ve so far sold some Java books and a pair of inline skates. I’m also trying to sell… Read More »

Virus Infected Spam, Spam, Spam

Afternoon. A lovely weekend. I did middle-aged, middle-class things like getting sunburned while cleaning my bike and cutting the grass with my shirt off. It’s still nice now, and I didn’t really want to come back from lunch. I had a phone call from Mum this morning about an email she’d had from a friend… Read More »

Weekend up “north”

Hello. I wrote a nice long update for this a while ago and forgot to save it. d’oh. Of course, I can’t remember anything that happened in that post so it will have to go with me to the grave. More recently (i.e. a short enough period in the past that my deficient memory can… Read More »

Horses, pah

Well it’s been a while since I updated, so I’d better do it now. I’m at work an hour early, because I had to drop Hannah off at the station so she could go to work. Freezing it is, hmm? There was frost on the saddle, and Storm took ages to warm up. Teach me… Read More »

Life’s grand

I am Adam, most powerful man in the universe! Well, maybe not. He-Man. Been looking at http://www.80snostalgia.com/ again. Anyway, a quick rundown of my weekend. I rode up to Birmingham on thursday night and then Hannah and I went to the Peak District on Friday. We were going to go to Litton for a walk,… Read More »

Bored, so what’s new?

I’m bored. I got to work yesterday, wasn’t acknowledged by anyone except the Simon, who rabbited on about bikes, again. I started to feel ill (tired, mainly, headache, queasy, etc) so I waited for a while and then went home. I was supposed to be moving departments yesterday, but nobody’s come to find me to… Read More »

Weekend

Well I got to Brum OK. It was a bit slow around the M42, but I was able to filter through between the cars, feeling very smug 🙂 We went to studio cycling this morning, and I don’t think I’ve been so knackered in a long time. I thought I was going to pass out!… Read More »

What’s so civil about war, anyway?

I don’t suppose anybody isn’t aware of this but… WE’RE AT WAR! and the stupid yanks have already killed a load of our guys. To be perfectly honest, I don’t know how I feel about the war in Iraq.

A post, a post

Right, assuming I don’t mess this up somehow, this is the first proper post for my shiny new blog. Where to begin, where to begin? I think I’ll have to assume that you know roughly who I am, and vaguely what I’ve been up to recently. News in brief from the last few months… I’m… Read More »
