IT and all that....

These things happen from time to time, but I've had a few weeks from hell recently. Four separate PC's needing rebuild for different reasons. Thankfully all were backed up, but the time wasted was horrendous.

Tempted down the Apple route for next PC purchase....

A sad day...

Where do you start? We're just back from three days in London watching a terrific Test match between England and Pakistan. Also took in some shows, "Avenue Q", "The 39 Steps" and "We Will Rock You". All fabulous and worth making the effort to see.

However, things took a turn for the worse on the journey by train home. A train journey that reminds me why I should in future always drive. And more than that, the news broke on Twitter about the betting scandal. I know there's been talk of bit for years, but the evidence on this one is damning.

I'm not going to let it spoil what has been a great few days, it's just a sad day for a great game.

A general catch up....

It's been way too long since my last update. I always have the best intentions of being "regular" on here, but never quite seem to make it happen.

Right, so what's to catch up on? Playing much more golf for a start and thoroughly enjoying it. Handicap's back down to 18, but can still improve on that. So far this year have played the Brabazon at the Belfry and both Royal Lytham and Royal Liverpool.  Old Thorns down in Hampshire too. All great courses.

Recently booked to go and see Professor Stephen Hawking's lecture at the Royal Albert Hall in October. Can't wait for that, just wish my brain had some more bogomips behind it to assist with the understanding.

Have a few shows to go too, Spamalot tomorrow, and the touring Les Mis soon. 

Later this month me and Mikey are off to Lords for the Test Match against Pakistan. We're likely to take a show in there too, just depends what we can tickets for. While in London we're hoping to get to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.

All in all, lots of good stuff on. Work fine too, busy as ever, but still enjoying it, far better to be busy than bored.

Finally, (for now at least), very content with 2.2 Froyo (official) on my HTC Desire. Although it doesn't do some things as well as other phones, it is the first phone I've had that will actually do everything I want.

What is it about Lancashire....

Every time there's a sniff of a chance of them getting to a cricket final, I plan ahead and get tickets. This time for the T20 finals at the Rose Bowl.

And every time they get knocked out. Must be telling me something.

Still, Mikey and I will enjoy the day and play some golf.down there on the Sunday. All is not lost....

Exceeding expectations.

Short, and to the point. I'm talking about my new HTC Desire, and it does precisely that! Great phone.
