Buggered.

Well, Dave's leaving do was fun. It involved going to the pub and drinking until no longer able to remember where my hotel was and so staying at Dave's house. Full english was offered at a local Mexican resteraunt (I know, doesn't make sense to me either) and I had an amusing stop off along the way so I could throw up in a gutter and on my shoes.

Fell asleep in the cab to the airport. Fortunately the cab driver was an honest sort and didn't take me to some field and summarrily rape me. Or something.


I'd forgotten how fun poisoning myself with alcohol to the point of incoherance was (errr... is)

Raided Dave's book shelf this morning and so will be hitting Fallen Angel once I have finished Altered Carbon.




To finish, have a look at this article on the BBC website about an invisibility coat from Japan. Everyone needs one of these; mine's on order.

Daipers in Taipers

Flew into Taipei yesterday afternoon for a site visit and met Dave for a drink last night. Of course, where Dave is concerned, that word is always plural and so we statred with a few sharpeners in the Shannon (a ... wait for it ... Irish pub) and moved on to the Brass Monkey where they also served guinness. I have spent today with an incongruously bad hangover and a case of Midnight Poo and am about to go out and make it worse by joining the frivolities at Dave's leaving do this evening.

Cricket season strats soon in HK so I'm thinking of giving that a shot. The trouble is I think they are all a bit serious but we'll see how lah.

See ya later

Guys

Just tried the "next Blog" clicker thingy at the top right corner of me blog (new blog tool bar, you see) I guess it brings up a random blog, I got Radical Christian which is some nut case writing about his interpretation of the bible from the lutheran perspective. I'm going top become a Lutheran, looks like fun;

Acceptable Lutheran wartime killing practices:
- gunshot
- garroting
- impalement
- disembowling
- dismemberment

The list goes on (and on). But the question is, which faction to join, LexCorp or LuterCorp?

This is too much fun to let work get in the way of

Bomber gets spammed

Well, I was just feeling all smug to get my FIRST unsolicited comment from fellow blogger at http://devilsteven.blogspot.com/ so I thought I'd support the genre and visit his site. What I found was a half dozen comments all along the lines of "STOP SPAMMING MY BLOG" so now I feel stupid. I did leave a rude message for him though (called him a tosser ... aren't I clever!)


Off to Taipers today to catch up on the 101 project. Seems that we may have arsed up the shipping, but we'll see later. Peter and Juergen rushed off to Korea yesterday in the latest episode in the farse that is my latest project; our JV partner has decided that they want the project for themselves. I can really see us ending up not doing this project at all.

8.30 again this work nonsense is getting ridiculous

Happy birthday to me happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me..eee; happy birthday to me. Plus a new look and hassley comments

3 or 4 of you might have noticed yesterday that the blog was, as Dave put it (slightly too technically for some) fucked.

Well, I figured I'd inadvertently put some open ended tag in the last entry which had reformated the entry text. Sounds plausible but I couldn't find it so was left with delving into the template I had used. That was far too technical for me so I opted instead to choose a new one.

They've added some new navbar to the blog pages and I think it screwed with something in the old template, conveniently making it someone else's fault that you are being forcefed a new look on the blog. Plus, the coding for the Haloscan comments was lost with the change in template so I thoiught it would be easier to use the blogger comment system instead. It's a little odd in that you're supposed to log in but never fear, you can post annonymously and put your name in the text so everyone can see whose clever quip that was...

Nothing much in the news today, except I am re-discovering Internet radio and currently have John Peel's latest show blasting out the speakers and disturbing the cat.

And bubble left this morning without a mention my new found age. Funny, if I give her the cold shoulder for the next week, then I'll be the patyhetic one, but when a guy forgets his wife's birthday, a mere weeek of the cold shoulder is seen as a compromise on the wife's part.

Funny old world.

Just looked at the clock and realised it's 1/2 eight so I should trot off. Internet is down at work (something about a wall and some fire and lost packages or something) so will have to wait for your miriad birthday messages 'till I get home

Mornin' all

back in the saddle, so to speak. I'll post the wedding pictures in the next day or so.

We both got upgraded on the way back, which was a result, frankly. Slept most of the way which made Monday back at work close to bearable.

Also got some good news confirmed on return; I've got a FREE ticket to the Shanghai GP in September; broom broom. Bubble's a little pissed off 'cause it's a corporate junket (sp?) type thing so I can't get her a ticket and anyway she wouldn't be able to go 'cause she wouldn't be able to get back by Sunday night. Doesn't stop it from being my fault, though.

Was pointed to a fascinating website this morning for the "Quantum Sleeper"; a bed which sells itself as "One more step in personal home security system and Homeland Security". Click to believe.

Oh and this, err; Julian Snelling Rosebud Anal Jewelry. nuff said. Actually; not enough. The front page of the site contains even more crazy items, like the Ball Stretcher Weight for CBT with optional LE330 Ball Crusher Attachment... Ball stretcher weight; ball crusher attachment? What sort of sick world have those B3tans exposed me to...

That's it, I'm off
