Big Bollocks

So Big Brother started last night. The biggest bunch of no-marks yet in Big Brother history. An all girl house. Yawn. Didn’t see that one coming right enough, after the 9th girl went in. The biggest question I have is what the fuck is up with Ravey Davey Gravy, otherwise known as Tracey the cleaner. [...]

Longing for a holiday

I’m dying on a break away from the usual. I enjoy my job greatly but it’s been so long since we had a proper holiday. Ok, we had 5 days in the North of Scotland I suppose but I mean a proper summer holiday.
With my wife being 5 months pregnant, flying isn’t really an option [...]

Freelance web design

I decided to give the website where I advertise my freelance web design talents a makeover. I’ve used and tweaked the same template as on here. If you could give me your feedback then I’d be grateful.

Early Mentalry my dear Watson

OK. Someone needs to explain to me the Japanese fascination with Sherlock Holmes. Every morning I pass the Sherlock Holmes statue at Picardy Place and it’s crawling with Japanese tourists, all taking photos and oohing and aahing over what is fundamentally a fairly average statue.
I’m not just talking about one or two Japanese. I’m talking [...]

Sunshine on Leith

It was sunny this morning when I left the house. Cheered me right up it did. Well, until the first splat of dried in puke that I discovered about 100 yards up Leith Walk. I got to thinking this morning that I see the same people walking the opposite direction every morning. I time myself [...]

The Incredible Adam Spark

A goestay the bookshop the other day. Wanting to find a book ken dudes.
Did you like that? I’ve just finished reading “The Incredible Adam Spark” by Alan Bissett. What a rollercoaster ride of laughs, sadness and sheer chaos it was. After taking a bump on the head saving a ‘wean’ at Hallglen gala day (during [...]

Wheels of Steel/Back in Azeroth

I’m off drinking in Glasgow tomorrow. It could get messy. Hopefully not as messy as the last time though. I’m going to see Saxon at the Glasgow Garage. Heavy metal. Back to the 80’s vibe. New wave of old wave of renewed interest in wave of British Heavy Metal.
Saxon in their heyday were brilliant and [...]

Nothing to see

That’s twice I’ve been to Manchester and twice I’ve seen nothing of the city. In 1998, I was sent to Wythenshawe to look at a printer. I flew down in the dodgiest propellor plane, then jumped in a taxi to the company I was visiting. I viewed the printer then taxi and plane back. I [...]

Accessibility Course

I am in the process of writing a course on Web Accessibility for Developers. Quite a challenge. I’m obviously well up on all matters accessibility but writing a course? At first I thought it would just be a case of putting all my knowledge into a powerpoint presentation, however it seems to be more about [...]

They won

Sad to say, but the Nationalists won the election. Will the last person to leave Scotland please turn out the lights. On the bright side, they don’t have a majority and none of the other parties will form a coalition with them so it’s still a bit up in the air at the moment. Here’s [...]
