After my recent near death experience being very close to electrocuting myself, my sister in law (Nicola Jones) has taken to calling me “sparky”. Just to rub it in, she decided that the best way to emphasize what a dead numpty I could have been was to limit my access to electrical tools from now […]

After finding an old digital camera today, I smiled at the size of the 8MB memory card that was inside it and then headed to the shelf to get some comparisons 😉 Behold a 1.4MB floppy disk, the 8MB camera card, a 64MB card and a 4 GB card. The right hand unit holding over […]

The picture below is of a plane which is not zoomed in. It flew over the house at around 5pm tonight – talk about flying low … how to stop spam email

Still got a few bits left to do – amongst others, filling in the blackened hole which nearly killed me earlier… however looking pretty good from a distance anyway 🙂    

I nearly killed myself this morning. I drilled a hole through a mains cable and if it wasn’t for the rubber handle on the drill my wife would be saying goodbye to me down the morgue. I scared myself witless Even though I shot across the room with shock and an unbelievable urge to remove […]

Was feeling a bit stressed today so Simon, our graphics bod and a good friend decided to put a smile on my face and sent me this. Top man … although I can’t remember anyone with a camera when I was in rock mode the other week 😉

Lewis picked up 3 gold medals on Saturday at 60m, 150m and long jump over at the Telford Games. 2012 really is a bumper year for athletics golds!  Well Done Lewis !

My nephew, Lewis  is a top kid. Battling through health problems (not unlike me as a child) he has headed for sport, or more specifically athletics as his focus (whereas I went with computers). Every time I see him he tells me about the medals he’s won, or his dad (my brother) tells me he’s […]
