Heliwhopper...

The Virgin air ambulance landed in the garden square outside my house today. Feel sorry for whoever it was called for...

Anyway, it was kind of exciting as it flew over the house setting off car alarms in its wake. I managed to video it as it took off. Sorry about the shoddy quality - I only had my stills camera to hand which does rather basic video.

Gayer and gayer

I now have a blond spikey fin adorning my head. So gay...

That's all for now :)

Well I never...

According to the BBC, people talk about just 7 topics online. Let's see how we do shall we?

-popular culture er... maybe?
-solidarity what does that mean?
-food I think I occasionally mention that I'm going to eat
-relationships well, sex mainly
-money never
-social that could mean anything!
-activity again, anything!
-banter of course! bitching is what pooves do!

What a crappy survey that was, I think to sum it up, the conclusion should have been "people online talk about everything everyone else does offline". There - could have saved them a whole load of time & effort!

Aerobitches follow up

If you want to sign up to the aerobitches mailing list (meant for those who were in my year in aeronautics) visit here.

A mail has been sent out inviting all those I could find, but if you haven't got one, use the link above instead.

Original aerobitches

Originally this site (domain) was meant to be used as a way for my year of my undergraduate degree to keep in touch. That sort of fizzled out, but someone emailed me today asking where it had gone...

Anyway, I want to set up a mailing list instead for us all, so I'll endeavour to set one up, but in the meantime drop me an email (see the bar on the right) if you have any suggestions.

FUCKING BOLLOCKS!

A power cut brought the uptime of my server (which this is hosted on) down from 169 days to... 7 minutes (at the time of writing). Bugger!

In case you're wondering, it's a bit of an ego trip in the techhie world to see who can keep their server up the longest...

I think you have a tea fetish

Apologies for the utterly dismal showing recently - I've had the most dull week, so nothing to write about...

Anyway, having had a dig though the cupboards this morning, we currently have the following types of tea in stock:

- Assam (bag)
- Assam (leaf, Twinings)
- Assam (leaf, Whittards)
- Ceylon (leaf)
- Darjeeling (leaf)
- Lapsang Souchong (leaf)
- Jasmine (bag)
- Green (leaf)

Nice.

Ouch

Went into hospital this morning to have the first injection of some lovely cytotoxic drugs. Not for fun you understand...

It was slightly worrying in that the initial prescribing procedure involved opening a sealed packet with red & white tape and then pulling out the syringe covered in hazardous warnings symbols.

Then a small army of healthcare professionals agreed it was all correct, so I started rolling my sleeve up in preparation. Oh no, they said, it has to go into your arse. Bugger I thought.

Oh well; 1 down and only 7 more to go.
