    Doing a spot of hiking

    Every time you mention you walked the Camino, I become very envious. I'd love to do that. Did you do the full route? How long did it take?

    Jeez, Ammanford is not exactly the inner city.

    Good socks. A thermos, if you want a hot drink while you're out.

    This Instant And Moment - 2024!

    What a beautiful evening. I stood around feeling useless (my neck is still not right) while my wife weeded the edge of the rose garden. The kids went through their "secret tunnel" through the bushes into the woods bit at the end of the garden. I could hear them giggling in there. I'm a lucky...

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    To be fair, if someone was attacked simply for being Jewish, it would be antisemitism. The police officer was in a very difficult position and did his best to maintain public order. I feel sorry for him.

    ***The Official Guitar Thread***

    The time has come to sell my Ibanez 7421. I bid on ebay one night when I was drunk twenty years ago and, to my horror, found I had won the auction when I woke up. I've probably played it for about a dozen hours in total in all that time. It's nice, but I just don't use it. It'll be going on...

    ***The Official Guitar Thread***

    I had a very early G&L L2000, with a mahogany body, and that always felt like I had a washing machine hung around my neck. Sadly, I sold it many years ago- they're pretty desirable now.

    Over-rated / terrible movies?

    That Dark Knight film with Heath Ledger was rubbish. It was at least an hour too long. Avatar was also rubbish. That was about three hours too long.

    What TV shows are you currently watching

    I finished watching The Detectorists last night. It's one of the best TV shows I've seen in years.

    What book are you reading...

    I just finished Old Soldiers Never Die by Frank Richards. It's his ww1 memoir. It's a fantastic read and pretty funny in places. Richards was at Le Cateau, the first British battle, and was still on the front line on armistice day. He was on the front line in nearly every major battle of ww1...

    Experiment 5. Chocolate digestives are also squirrel food.

    Scrabble scrambled scam

    Heh, I found out the hard way that "za" is apparently the short word for pizza, and acceptable.

    Scrabble scrambled scam

    Apparently Scrabble is too hard, because you need to know words and stuff. It's also too competitive and you don't get Special Powerup Cards. Never fear! If you don't like Scrabble, you can now play New Scrabble, with extra rules and Special Cards. No more trying to remember how to spell spell...

    Disabled couple snooped on and accused of fraud by the DWP

    No- that mean doesn't get distributed, it's just a calculation. This is a good way to understand the difference; The mean number of legs a person has in the UK is 1.98 legs, as some people have lost one or both legs. The median number of legs a person in the UK has is 2. Wealth is slightly...

    Disabled couple snooped on and accused of fraud by the DWP

    Jeez, that mean/ median thing comes up again and again, doesn't it. If you have five people, earning £1, £2, £3, £4, £1,000 the median is £3 and the mean is £202.
