When we recently returned to Cheltenham, I discovered that the Night Owl club had reopened. For many people my age, this club was the first they were able to get into, originally because the bouncers didn’t look too closely at the patrons, in terms of their age, and even when there [...]

Do You Remember?
Another Day in Paradise
So, to be a real travelpro, you need to ensure that you have all the basics with you, to cover most eventualities, without actually carrying any unnecessary clutter, that leaves less space for what you really need, and in extreme circumstances, can even end up costing you extra money, should your [...]
Take Me Home
Having recently finally finished watching the Sopranos TV series, I can see the advantages of having proper home theater seating installed, however you may want to hold fire until you actually have a big screen, or projector setup, to ensure you really get the total immersion factor, when it comes to watching the [...]
I Wish It Would Rain Down…
If you enjoy the sound and change in atmosphere that a thunder storm brings about, you may want to search for Alabama land for sale one day. If so, a quick search online revealed a wide plethora of companies who are only too happy to try and match up your needs with available [...]
You’ll Get 16:9 Eyes…
…watching that thing all day long!
After many months of our satellite system not working, we finally managed to get someone to come over and take a look at our dish. The man (who arrived a few days, and several irate phone calls late) thinks our LNB is the problem, and if all [...]
Happy Birthday Gramps…
Today is my Mum’s Dad’s (we call him Gramps) birthday, so this is just a short post to congratulate him on this special day, and to wish him as comfortable a time as possible as he recuperates following a hospital visit. Irina and I managed to see him when we visited Britain [...]

John’s New Site Is Live
As you may remember, John had a blog hosted over at Wordpress.com, however he needed a little more flexibility. Although the new site (www.CeltPhotographic.com) is currently simply a new home for the existing content, John hopes to use the site to primarily promote the actual photos he takes, with the [...]
‘Apply, Save, Swear’? Not Any More!
When it comes to Configuration Management, Uplogix have produced Envoy, a system that not only helps automate the day to day tasks network admins normally have to carry out manually, but also ensures that any unforeseen errors will not cause lack of connectivity.

What Rubs The Wrong Way…
I read on another blog how a person who had recently returned to Kazakhstan had found some things (points 3,4 and 5 especially) wound him up again, after his break away… this lead me to thinking what exactly gets on my nerves over here…
Driving - see the Kazakh Driving category for [...]
What Is On The Cards?
The Casino Bonus Center (or centre for those of us still preferring UK English spelling of such words ) has been setup with one aim in mind - to provide gamblers with a source of information concerning where the best deals and coupon codes (whether for just new registrants to casino sites, [...]
Aliyev Found Guilty, Even If Not Actually Present
Thanks to KZBlog for the heads up on this (check the post here) matter, as many will remember, Rakhat Aliyev fled to Austria to evade the Kazakh authorities, when he was finally accused of a range of crimes. See this search for previous posts that mention him, within this blog. The part [...]
Glasses
Despite their advertiser’s temporary case of amnesia when it comes to spelling the word discovery (head on over to their site to learn about the Great Discovry:$ 8 Prescription Glasses From Zenni Optical), the site itself seems reasonably well constructed, and easy to use.
If you know your eyesight prescription, and don’t necessarily want to be [...]
Not Again… Please
After last year’s infamous flooding in England, it looks as though some areas are in for more of the same, though most experts are predicting that river levels will not rise as high, meaning even though some properties will be effected, the scale and devastation will not be as large. Check out the BBC article [...]
Todays Episode Was Bought To You By The Symbol $…
One of the items on my To Do list is looking into Net Audio Ads a little closer. I looked at the system prior to Christmas, but until I have sorted out my new hosting account, I don’t want to get too distracted. The idea behind the venture is relatively simple - as a site [...]
