When browsing around other people’s blogs today, I stumbled across a post written by someone looking back over their blog from the time the started blogging. According to the post, when she first started blogging someone told her that you only start blogging well and properly after about 2 years of doing it; everything before that is a bit of a trial and not worth much. So I had a look back over my blog (started in March 2006) to see if this was true of mine – and I suspect that it was!

There is no excuse for poor grammar, or poor use of the English language, especially when putting up public signs on the outside of your shop:

Or stir-fry us in a wok.
Oh please don’t lightly poach us,
Or baste us with hot fat,
Don’t fricassee or roast us,
Or boil us in a vat,
And [...]

If you write directions on the label of a beer bottle and then followed them, would that count as driving under the influence of alcohol?

According to this site, I am modestly envoweled. This is because only 31% of my name is vowels. Oh well, sure I’ll live!
Apparently, my “personal power animal” is the Hamadryas Baboon, and Google and Wikipedia reveals that it is one of these charming chaps:
Lucky me! You can see all my results in the survey. Apparently:

We looked round a house just now, “newly modernised”, and it looks quite good! I’m ringing Adrian the landlord tomorrow morning to arrange a meeting and to (hopefully) get a copy of the lease, at the very least to look over it. So things are actually starting to move along!
On a different note, I’ve decided [...]

Student Cell was good tonight. We were looking at being lost, and relating it to Genesis 3:7-19. It covered six topics – Self alienation, spiritual alienation, relational alienation, physical alienation, ecological alienation and vocational alienation. Long words, eh? But there was lots of discussion etc and it was really good. It then moved on to [...]

Though my calendar does have jokes in it!!
From the 1st: What happens if you put a snowball in a glass of water? It gets wet!
From the 2nd: What is Father Christmas’ wife called? Mary Christmas

Is a really powerful film. I’m glad I didn’t watch it on my own.
Last nite, Clare Ruth, Dan and I watched it round Dan’s flat. It wasn’t as gruesome or horrific as I thought it would be, and it’s not the horror that gets me. It’s the fact that He went through all that pain [...]

Somebody has made quite a cool stop-motion piano and drum solo. It must have taken some time to make, and its a bit slow getting into it, but once it gets there it’s quite cool!
