The Death of English Cricket II

Following this mornings horrific capitulation in the Second Test I propose we retrieve the bails and cremate them to signify the death of English cricket. Perhaps we could put them in an urn and call them “the ashes” or something. It baffles me as to the kind of spirit and mental strength is running through

Money matters

Came across a fascinating website that really brings home how poor most of the world is. Global Rich List takes your income and tells you where you stand in the worlds richest. Apparently I’m inside the top 53 million (or to put it another way, the top 0.88%).

Fun little game care of the M&M web site. It’s in the form of a painting that contains clues to 50 films. Can you find them all? Game here I can offer hints if anyone posts queries as a comment

Kathryn gets her MCP

I suggested Kathryn write a blog entry but she hasn’t as yet so I’m going to. Last week Kathryn took her first MCP exam in Microsoft Clustering and scored 901/1000 which I think is pretty good. She revised loads and despite going in very nervous I had every faith in her passing. She’s now looking

Fitness Drive

Adding it to the blog so I can be heckled if I don’t stick to it. Decided I really need to push myself on the weight-loss/fitness-drive campaign so I have set myself the challenge of running 5K every day for the next couple of weeks to see where I get too. Planned on starting at

The Never Ending Kitchen

My new kitchen is almost complete but it’s amazing how long it’s taken and my dad has put a serious amount of hours into it (as have plenty of others). Below is the list of tasks that have been done to give you some idea. Design and purchase kitchen (done pre-Alaska) Demolition and disposal of
