I really really really should check my posts.... a beer token for the first person to spot every typo on this page.

ok, don't know how I missed theJarcrew website.

But it's quite interesting... in line with the bands frenetic show... I like the ideas in the site, but I'm not too sure about the execution of some of them....

OK, just like Percy says, Tub cat is funny (esp. the guest book), but get's 11/10 for bad web design.

We didn't see Gosford Park at the weekend btw, but Monsters Inc instead. One of the most interesting thing about this weeks cinema experience, was that there appeared to be a plain clothes policeman in the cinema (his radio kept going off, that's how we knew). The labour conference was just across the road form the cinema,. in the CIA, so I guess he was keeping an eye out for suspicious looking individuals....

Poppy seemed to think that this policeman would be watching every film time and time agin, as we saw him go back up the escalator on his way down, but I can't imagine this was the case, surely it would be better for him to rotate..... I mean were there more than one bobby in there anyway or what? awww... my brain hurts. and I should be working...

ok, so like, my wife is great.

She works hard at a new job, then comes home and cooks me tea (some crazy butternut-squash/sun-dried tomato pasta thing - yum), then plays hostess to all the home-group, then fills in some forms for new bed before packing bag to go to gym at 6:45am next morning - wow.. I really really love her.

Discovered that someones reading the website in spanish! so hello spanish friends? Hmmm I hope it's not portugese and I'm massively offending you... or Catalan... Also spotted someone viewing it in german so hello german readers too! One of the funny things is that they don't realise that Poppy is actually my wife's name - it's translated into the spanish/german for Poppy... weird/cool huh?

In case you're wondering, thats "Mohnblume" in german and "amapola" in spanish.... and for our foreign visitors, in English, it's "P.o.p.p.y"

Heard Lamacq ay last night that lost prophets named themselves after a Duran Duran bootleg. Yet again, the LP's go up in my estimations. I'd heard their "View to a Kill" cover, but never realised their obsession went that far

Yes, I like Duran Duran ok?

Yes yes yes - mIRC 6.0 is out!

And guess what... it allows multiple connections! Now, I know that just about every other client in the world has been able to do this, but Im afraid I am an unashamed mirc addict. I love the little floating desktop windows that no other client provides.
