Worst crossing EVAH!

Posted on July 9, 2014 by Gary

Living on Garbage Truck Alley

Posted on July 8, 2014 by Gary

One of the less appealing things about the Chateaubriand Hotel is the corner it stands on. Every morning, starting way too early for holiday sleep-ins, hundreds of garbage trucks drive around it. It’s like living on Garbage Truck Alley. Apart … Continue reading →

Oh woe

Today I saw the worst English football team EVER. I thought they were bad two games ago but today saw them sink to new depths. The Germans played well and we had a goal un-awarded that was a goal, but, … Continue reading →

In the news

Posted on June 24, 2010 by Gary

I see that Australia has a new prime minister…and it’s a woman! Well done, I say! Mind you, it’s a bit like us and Gordon Brown. We didn’t vote for him but he replaced Tony Blair when he left mid-term. … Continue reading →

Movies, Cricket and Football

Posted on June 23, 2010 by Gary

Last night we watched two movies I’d actually not seen before. The first was a recommendation from someone Nicktor works with. Taking Lives. It stars Angelina Jollie and Ethan Hawke with a rather odd guest spot by Kieffer Sutherland. It’s … Continue reading →
