Getting Back Online – October 2007
After losing most of my summer holidays and September for updating the site due to the database getting corrupted, and the stupid host I used to have not being around anymore to give me a backup, I’m here again. Lots of things have happened. I’ve moved to another host, and then had to move again […]
Updates
I’m in the middle of updating the software that runs this blog malarkey. And it looks like there are a few problems… hence the rubbish look of the place at the moment. Expect it to be like this until I can finish the redesign (I think blue is the colour of choice) and things will […]
Repost: Real Detective
While merging the entries, I came across many interesting old ones. This was one I’d completely forgotten about. Well worth a fresh read. Originally linked to on 24th January, 2005. ——————————- Not the Law and Order bullshit you have all grown so fond of. Not CSI. Not Miami. The real deal. A veteran Chicago homicide […]

Merging Stuff
I’ve been quite busy today. Those of you looking at the site statistics will note that the number of entries in this blog has increased from 129 to 147 (at the time of writing, I’m about to do more…) This is because I’ve merged some different blogs together to put things in one place. It […]
Harry Potter
The Sun has reported how a primary school head ruined the new Harry Potter book for pupils by reading out the final page on the last day of term. What I find funny about this next bit, and I really shouldn’t, is the fact that the local authority felt they had to comment. Mrs Banfield […]
