I am known for my love of motor racing. I am one of those people who will rewatch races even though I generally can remember what happens if I’ve seen the race before. Much to the annoyance of those who have to sit with me while I watch them… Some are harder to watch than […]
I was listening to an interview with Richard Osman (the tall guy from Pointless and many other things who I have a lot of time for) where he stated that he believed that broadcast TV as we know it has around ten years left in this country. Now, in my lifetime, I’ve seen the 5th […]
Now then, this is of limited interest to most people – you will have needed to listen to BBC 5Live and to Richard Bacon‘s show to understand. I came across this all quite by accident one PPA afternoon earlier this school year. There was a man describing his battle with stomach cancer in the most […]
I have no clue where today has gone. Done a lot of things, seen a lot of people, but not actually made much progress on significant things. The geocache we found today was in a lovely location. The sun setting over a small lake/pond thing in Bradford. Which is a shame really, as that means […]
I don’t really know where today went – we did a few jobs around the house, went to Grange Moor band room to pick up some stuff for a job tomorrow, made a visit to an ice cream parlour, found a cache then… well, nothing much. The photo below is another ice cream parlour I […]
Today at work was good overall. We have constant issues with ICT over in our little hut, and teaching it is always a little daunting. However, opening one file from the shared server on each of 22 laptops really shouldn’t have been the utter chore it turned out to be. The task I had given […]
Now then, 1963 was the year that Doctor Who was first broadcast. As I type this, I’m in my Doctor Who themed t-shirt of a knitted style TARDIS and Dalek. So, I quite like the programme. Today the BBC announced that David Bradley will play the first Doctor William Hartnell in a BBC drama about […]
The plan is for this to be a rolling record of what I got up to today, when my place of work was closed for the day due to snow. Let’s see how far I get. Prepare yourself for a meandering day which is likely to flit around tenses. Sorry. 05:45 – My alarm goes […]
Harrumph. Today was one of those days where nothing much happened, thank you very much for asking. Of course, we did a cache – when don’t we? Well, tomorrow we won’t because we don’t need to. Playtime At Wyke (GC3WJFY) was the cache of choice tonight. A simple little thing stuck to a bench. I […]
I wanted this to be a considered and informed post, which is the reason I waited a while to write it. For those who don’t care (why are you reading this?), or haven’t heard, it was announced this morning that from 2012 to 2018 only half the F1 races will broadcast live on the BBC […]
