Got them ol’ Blu Ray blues

13 April, 2009

A couple of weeks ago, Twilight came out on video. Not that the I was eagerly awaiting its release or anything, but the wife was, which meant that I was facing a couple of hours watching a chick-flick if I expected to fulfil my ‘conjugal rights’ later that night.  Still, I reasoned, it could be worse – it was a […]

Who’s gonna ‘drive your home?

19 March, 2009

Just before Christmas my eldest managed to frag the hard drive on his laptop.  I’m not sure how he managed it (probably deliberately, to get out of doing his homework), but when you tried booting it up you’d just get an “Operating System not found” message.  Freya has an identical laptop (to avoid sibling rivalry) […]

Turning Japanese #1: Food

10 February, 2009

14 January, 2009

I needed to send some important/urgent papers back to England, this week.  I had everything prepared over the weekend, and wanted to get them sent off on Monday.  There’s a Post Office about half a mile from my office, but it’s always crowded at lunchtime, so I thought I’d quickly nip out mid-morning.  Unfortunately, my plans […]

Roadside disservice

3 January, 2009

I’ve been having a couple of issues with my car, recently.  For some reason, when you turn the ignition, if it doesn’t start the first time, it won’t the second, or third, or fourth…you basically have to sit back for half an hour and then try again.  If I’d had the time and money I […]
