Imagine if you had some glass that could slow down light. You’d be able to see into the past.
I remember a discussion on this topic, on a biology school-trip to Aberystwyth, over 18 years ago. Yes, we had imbibed.
Ah yes. Remember the post I made about a digital calendar? And now O2 have the Joggler. [...]
England into semi-finals of World Cup! Cannot believe it. Tried to find it on the 50 channels of rubbish on TV this morning, but all you get is baseball, hockey, Dr Phil and What not to wear.
Drove out to Loon Lake today – very pretty, lots of B&B next to the lake. Passed a [...]

Made me laugh anyway. I’m probably well out of date, but saw it on a friend’s Facebook page.

Well – apparently food additives are not good for hyperactive children, according to the latest study. Jesus, this has been common knowledge for twenty years. Blue Smarties anybody?

Bus to the airport in Trondheim went through Hell again. Yes it is a real town name in Norway. The bus goes through a 4km tunnel – called the Hell Tunnel, I expected to see Cerberus but did not.
Hotel in Trondheim was a nightmare as it had a bar underneath that did not close [...]
I’m feeling very detatched from everything that’s going on around me at the moment. Not having a home anymore and travelling day to day is quite strange.
Oslo – central Oslo is dreadful, pretty much. So many beggars, bums and alcoholics.
Stockholm -very busy, but if you wander into the old-town (Gamla Stan) it’s very nice.
Oh yes, [...]
