It being the end of the day, I was reading some of the blogs I peruse and decided to have a flick through the Best of Scary Duck (Grauniad blog award winner) – and came across this story. It’s reminded me of a similar story once told by my a-level biology teacher. Now, Cambridge is […]

I just have to tell this story. It’s one of my favourite anecdotes. There comes a time in a relationship when you have to meet the parents of your partner. Now, most people dread this time, but not me; I get on well with parents. To be honest, I often get on better with parents […]

Random Owl Originally uploaded by Maltpress. I went into Cambridge today for a wander around and to enjoy the sunshine while I worked on an idea I have (more details to come soon). While I was there a local falconry centre or something was out in force with owls – just standing around letting people […]

I have no plans, but I know I need to make some otherwise I’ll get bored again. So, by Monday, expect one or more of the following: CheeseHelmet NoseBleed’s very own website More CheeseHelmet NoseBleed merchandise with a new slogan A post on here telling the story of my dad, my rabbit, and my first […]

Nothing really to bore you with today. So instead I’ll promote my band, CheeseHelmet NoseBleed. Currently we have only one member – me – one song, no talent, but enthusiasm in bags.

Rather than a dull rambling geek, which is what I *thought* I was. It’s quite reassuring. And means I can justify blogging at work while I wait for the kettle to boil and things – “honest, I’m on the bleeding edge and shaping trends with my opinionated spoutings on web content”. I’m not sure all […]

This has got to be a bad thing, right? That I can’t seem to survive a weekend off without descending into mind-numbing boredom? I’d like to think that’s because I have a massive mental capacity which, in the absence of a multitude of incredibly stimulating problems, rapidly gets a bit mardy and punishes me. But […]

I’m bored. Utterly, utterly bored. And that’s dangerous. Because this keeps calling to me. No way I need one, or can afford one, but mmmm. Shiny. Pros: I could test websites on a Mac and surf the internet watching TV. And it’s pretty. Cons: I don’t need one, can’t afford one, and I have better […]
