Brilliant Wedding!

Well done Mel & Rick - and all of the folks involved. I mostly only saw the preparation and the clearup because I was on the road all day - but the bits I saw (tinted a bit by 4 glasses of red wine on an empty stomach) were excellent.

Good to see Glen's new Blog with a few posts reflecting on it.

New markup - ACML

File this under trivia.

I came up with a new markup language. ACML "Anti Corporate Markup Language". The two initial tags are <ugh> and <aah>. They are used like this....

<ugh>Microsoft Word ™</ugh>

<aah>Open Office</aah>

OK - so I lied....

I was saying how the canal towpath is so easy because it is flat. Well of course it isnt...

This is really a thinly disguised opportunity to brag - I made it to the Bingley 5 rise locks for a cup of crappychino - the stuff made in a machine made (probably) in Warrington.

Back home by 1.30 for lunch - not bad!

Took all afternoon to recover - not good!

Still it was 40 or 50 miles (not sure which - speedo broke)

Long time no blog

Kez pointed out that I had stopped blogging. I was thinking to myself that maybe I'd stopped being profound - but that assumes I ever was...

I did enjoy this from Simon

No excuses.. except laziness.

A challenge...

Watch this and remain untouched.

4 years on...

BBC news tonight is covering Iraq, 4 years on from the invasion.

On Gods politics is this.

Great evening out

Thanks to my brother-in-law Nigel (at the back of the photo somewhere in 2nd violins) I got an excellent seat Saturday night to see the RSNO.

They were playing a fave of mine - New World
along with a bit of Korngold (which I enjoyed) and some Stravinsky (which I expected to like & wasn't so keen)
