You Know You’re in Your 30s When…
You leave gigs before the encore to “beat the rush”.
You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going clubbing.
Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the property section.
You prefer Later with Jools Holland to Top of the Pops.
Before going out anywhere, you ask what the parking is like.
Rather than [...]

Northampton v Bristol
Yesterday the Coles and the Selwoods had planned to meet up in Northampton to see the rugby, however due to illness the Coles were unable to attend. The blow was slightly softened by the fact that the match was on Sky Sports and Bristol won 14-8. (see BBC match report)
We are not having much [...]
Bryan 3 – Brad 1
In a further development of the rugby team rivalry between Bryan and Brad, there was a discovery early on Friday afternoon of a Saints sticker on Brad’s front bumper.
Initial findings suggest that this was put on the car the same time as the tax disc holder & air freshener.
For further information on this please see [...]
Clutter !!!
We all have some; that stuff that’s too good to throw out, or that might come in useful one day. I have a plan to try and de-clutter our house, whether it works or not is another question.
I recently came across a site called Freecycle. Freecycle groups match people who have things they want to get [...]
Understanding Engineers
Take One
Two engineering students were walking across a university campus when one said, “Where did you get such a great bike?”
The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, [...]
Bryan 2 – Brad 1
A couple of months ago, Brad did some work on Bryan’s car. So what you say; well Brad returned Bryan’s car with a Bristol Rugby sticker in the back window, (Bryan is a Northampton supporter). There was a strongly worded message left by on Brad’s voicemail once Bryan found it. Round 1 [...]
Idiots of 2006
Number One Idiot of 2006
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter [...]
Geocaching – About
I thought that I should add a quick explanation of what geocaching is now that we are starting to find a few caches.
First of all you need a handheld GPS and the co-ordinates of where a ‘cache’ has been hidden. One of the best sites for this is Geocaching.com.
Geocaching is like a treasure hunt. Some [...]
Happy New Year
Well another year is over. It has been an eventful & busy one for us, with the wedding and Brad (& Rob) taking over the garage.
We had a small party to see in the New Year, just 5 of us for dinner (Myself, Brad, Ali, Mouldy & Steve) with Trudi joining us later.
There was much food [...]
Geocaching – Take 2
So on Friday we set off on another geocaching trip. This time we were off to Leigh Woods. The weather wasn’t too great, but it stayed dry. Bea enjoyed herself, running around while we were searching for the cache, walking backwards and forwards trying to get a clear satelite link under the trees.
We found it [...]
