Sunday Roast: I knew archaeology conferences were useful for something

Do you ever have those books that you read as a kid and vaguely remember the plot of, but can’t for the life of you remember what it was called? Well, the Brainy Snail and myself had a joint one back in Liverpool. The description went something as follows:
There’s this boy, he goes to live [...]

Quote of the day…

Apparently a Canadian invented basketball. Who knew?

9rules Round Four

The 9rules network has just announced the date of the next round of submissions.
Am I really masochistic enough to do it to myself again?
For shizzle, this time around I’m not hampered by a .blogspot domain, and I’m quietly proud of my loyal readership and minions. My content (even if I do say so myself) isn’t [...]

Spam galore

Sorry anyone who’s tried to comment but been classed as spam accidentally in the last couple of days - there’s been a phenomenal amount of spam lately (we’re talking over 1000 pieces in the past three days). Akismet is doing sterling work behind the scenes, but I just can’t check every single bit to make [...]

1) Click on the big pink button on the embedded player below. (I know, pink, but I had no choice)
2) Go to the Odeo [...]

Sunday Roast: the Beach Boys have eaten The Eagles

As I discovered on the flight to Toronto. All “Eagles” tracks on the beloved iPod are now classed as “Beach Boys” tracks. Makes for one very odd playlist, let me tell you!
Anyway, a teeny tiny Roast this week. I blame jet lag and my currently jaded outlook on life. It’s taking a lot to impress [...]

Howdy

I’m back.
I’m writing a post, but it’s gonna take a day or so (jet lag is a bitch).
In the mean time, here are some pictures to keep you occupied.
Feel free to comment there, or here. I read both

Sunday Roast: I want to lie, shipwrecked and comatose

Just a mini Roast to keep you occupied till I get back on the 12th:
