Catching up on my blog list has been fun. I was reading about the policy of E-mail zero where you aim to keep your inbox at 0 e-mails at all times by constantly properly filing your mail. Having fallen behind around 2 years ago mines is ever growing. I figured going for RSS zero was […]

Just found out that my Uncles brother-in-law Ben died today. He had been ill for a few years and was one of the friendliest guys you could ever meet. He taught me to play Chess when I was 5 holidaying in Aviemore. It was something which really set the seeds for my interest in games, […]

I am used to seeing all the scam letters from SEO companies guaranteeing first place on Google etc. Lately a friend has been getting pestered by phone calls. Today she had one from Google. Or at least a company impersonating Google. The company was First Search Consulting (). A bunch of snake-oil selling cowboys. I […]

Well I have just won my second competition in 6 months. On the SSP site there is a monthly competition run with philosophy football. I just won their Miners Strike t-shirt. The new competition is to win an International Brigader t-shirt. Edit – which I won too!

Some other things have been taking up part of my time over the past two months, cowboy builders, craft fairs, work on other sites so I have a wee bit of a backlog of things to post. These include: At least 3, possibly 4 vodka reviews Spicy burger reviews, with pics, woo blog living up […]

Recently on UGS I started a thread to keep any UGSers blogs in one place as we kept posting all over the place when someone created one. I figure I can make an exception to the post a paragraph on every link rule to help support the bloggers in that community. Loads of random reads, […]

Unfortunately that’s the time of year I’d be least likely to start cycling seeing as it will be starting to have heavy showers. I figure if […]
