During the week I am a boring IT consultant. However, at weekends, I transform into a massive, dance, trance, garage, hop-hip, mixmaster DJ, spinning vinyl, entertaining the masses at Glastonbury. No wonder I’m so tired every Monday morning.
I was wrong. I sincerely apologise. That wasn’t my worst nightmare at all. This is truly my worst nightmare.
Trevor Phillips makes an early (and unexpected) bid to succeed Bernard Manning.
Phew - what a relief. I often spend a night in the pub or a whole weekend at a beer festival and am completely flummoxed by such trick questions on my return such as ‘Well - what did you actually talk about ?’ or worse, ‘How are Janet, Jonathan, Jennifer and Jocasta ?’ A peculiar challenge for modern day parents: How do you ask your teenage son to tidy his room ?...
‘Oh look Henry. Over to the right. Isn’t that Nelson’s Column ?’
I upgraded to a Virgin Media V+ service three months ago. Although I have had some initial teething problems, I am pretty satisfied with the V+ service. The V+ box is a personal video recorder (PVR) similar to the Sky Plus service. The V+ box contains a 160GB hard drive which can store 80 hours of recorded TV programs.

Lots of people stumble onto this blog hoping to find technical information, reviews and images of a black Virgin Media V+ set top box. I presume this is either husbands trying to convince the wife that the box will comply with the aesthetics in the lounge or geeks trying to look at all those connectors on the back. Whoever you are, whatever you are, these pictures are for all you people out there....

I packed a lovely picnic (much to the envy of my neighbours), took a proper camera and enjoyed three matches in the sun: Brenda Schultz McCarthy (36 years old, 6 foot tall) beat Ayumi Morita (17 years old, 5 foot tall) in three entertaining sets....
On 3 May 2007, a four year old toddler (not girl), Madeleine McCann, was abducted from her hotel room in Praia Da Luz, Portugal while her parents enjoyed a well-deserved pizza and a glass of wine in a nearby restaurant. Since then the parents have launched a concerted and impressive campaign to keep Madeleine’s name in the media spotlight. The distraught mother is carrying Madeleine’s grubby, pink cuddly cat everywhere she goes....
Amusing story in Friday’s Torygraph about how a Sat Nav system left a poor, helpless 20- year old female student marooned on a level crossing in the face of a high speed train. Thankfully, this woman escaped with her life and will probably sue TomTom, her boyfriend and Carlos Tevez. However, Paula Ceely is so unbelievably stupid, hopefully she will manage to secure an early nomination for the Darwin Awards imminently....
