http://jimmygulp.co.uk/redblog/modules/blog Sun, 24 Aug 2008 16:45:39 +0100 I've found the magic words to utter to the gallery so that everyone can add comments to the project365 photos, so, if you have something to say, feel free :) <br/> <br/>Jimmy http://jimmygulp.co.uk/redblog/modules/blog/index.php?post_id=96 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:15:32 +0100 Well, it looks like the Carling Leeds festival is underway, what with the A64 from Leeds to the M1/A1 turning itself into a car park :) <br/> <br/>However, in the list of things you don't see everyday on the A64 is the following: <br/> - People walking 5miles, backpack on their backs, case of carling under one arm, can of the filth in their other hand... <br/> - 2 Police volvo's pulling one chap over, for reasons unknown to me <br/>and finally: <br/> - A pair of festival goers, stark bollock naked, walking the last few hundred yards to the gate of the car park. The trucker they'd just past sounded like he appreciated it... (with his horn, not words). <br/> <br/>This concludes todays 'things you don't normally see $here' :) http://jimmygulp.co.uk/redblog/modules/blog/index.php?post_id=95 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 18:55:09 +0100 Well, being woken at 5.30 this morning by a dozen alarms going off, all because something had tripped the power off to the local area wasn't a delight... it went something like this: <br/>Michelle: Jimmy, is that our car alarm? <br/>Me: Uh, er, what, eh? No, its a house alarm somewhere, or 3... <br/>Michelle: Are you sure? What time is it? <br/>Me: (Looks at alarm clock, which isn't on, sound of the computer in the corner is absent, pick up mobile) Er, half five ish, looks to be a power cut... <br/>Michelle: Oh, okay... Zzzzzz...... <br/> <br/>So, after eventually getting up, having a bath (and falling asleep in it), the power appears to come back on. I check everything is running okay before heading out... <br/> <br/>Come this evening, I see that I've been booted off the ssh session I left going (naughty me)... and it looks like someone knocked the power off again around lunch time... hopefully, fixing whatever was broken this morning, and bodged to work for the time... :) <br/> <br/>Hopefully, the same won't happen again for a while, I like my sleep I do :) http://jimmygulp.co.uk/redblog/modules/blog/index.php?post_id=94 Sat, 09 Aug 2008 20:58:06 +0100 I didn't watch the opening ceremony, busy at Rocknations 08, but reading through a mailing list, I see this gem: <br/> <br/>&quot;Trust the Chinese to get the fireworks spot on&quot; <br/> <br/>A real laugh-out-loud moment, reading that one :) http://jimmygulp.co.uk/redblog/modules/blog/index.php?post_id=93 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 12:17:21 +0100 Well, I've been posting a picture a day for a month now, and its quite fun. I've managed to not miss a day yet, and have only had 2 photos from my mobile (one due to the flipping fire alarm at work). <br/> <br/>Hopefully I'll be able to keep this going for the whole year, quite exciting :) <br/> <br/>In other news, Lara had her 12-week injections last Wednesday, she wasn't happy about it, but soon got over it (hint, give your child calpol about half an hour before the appointment ;) ). <br/> <br/>Just this week she's discovered her hands (which she either eats, or wrings like an old granny), and her feet (which don't approach her mouth, thankfully). She also loves to smile at me and I've managed to teach her how to stick her tongue out too :) http://jimmygulp.co.uk/redblog/modules/blog/index.php?post_id=92
