Minstresers, Popcorn and Christmas

I’ll start this post with “Minstresers”…

As you can see, this is a photograph of a Galaxy “Minstrel”, and a “Malteser” (made by Mars, I think).
Individually, they are great. Let’s not forget that fact.
However, together, eaten at the same time, they are amazing! We discovered this at University and decided to call the combined treat, the [...]

Wasteful packaging - the latest instance!

Wasteful packaging is something that kinda bugs me. To put it into perspective though, I don’t lose any sleep over it, and I don’t find myself thinking about it at random times during the day, but when I see an instance of wasteful packaging, it is slightly annoying.
The other day, a work colleague ordered a [...]

The HUGE full-English breakfasts!

I have several topics to write about today, so I shall dedicate my first post to the breakfast topic (as per the title of this post) and write my second post in a short while…
In the last 8 days, I’ve had 2 full-English breakfasts, both cooked by my girlfriend, Sarah, and I thought I’d post them on [...]

How on earth does this work?
It must be magic…

Not such a great weekend, but still enjoyable!

We had two events planned for this weekend - Haddenham Steam Rally on Saturday (which I wasn’t taking the Matchless to) and the 3rd Legion Bike Show on Sunday (which I was taking the Matchless to). Both events took place and we attended both of them. However, neither day ended up being quite as we [...]

Quite a good weekend, all in all…

There were two events this weekend - my Birthday on Saturday and the AJS & Matchless Owners Club Fenrunners 2008 Motorbike run on Sunday (today), and fortunately, both have been a complete success!
My birthday on Saturday was a quiet day… but I received gifts that I like (mostly from my Wishlist!) and generally had a very [...]

GCSE and A Level IT

I read something today in the humorous and fictional “DPM’s diary” section on the back of Computer Weekly magazine which related to why the “young of today” are not taking IT at A Level and it had a strange amount of truth to it… I quote:
<…snip>
Anyway, we were in the “what is wrong with the [...]
