Let The Battle Begin...




Its been a wee while since the last update - but as you are no doubt aware a lot has been happening this end - not least the swimming pool tasting session at Forte's!

On the technology front - thank god we finally appear to be getting some competition to itunes in the music downloads marketplace. At the start of last week I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from Play.com ( a company I have been a faithful customer of since the play247.com days) announcing they had introduced music downloads. Big deal I hear you say - well - they not only beat itunes on price - they also offer ALL their music in MP3 format at a minimum of 192kbps and a large majority of it is in fact at 320kbps - and the big AND - completely DRM free. Finally - now if a few more companies enter the marketplace - we might have some decent competition and some reasonable prices.

Two new sets of photos up in the gallery for your perusal.

Currently Reading: Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich

Currently Listening to: Leftfield - Leftism

Night Driving



It never ceases to amaze me the number of cars on the road in the early hours of the morning - I often wonder who they are, where they are going and where they have been. Doubtless they are asking the same questions of me.

A trip to the cinema recently resulted in a viewing of the excellent 'We Own The Night' - a truly stellar cast and really commendable performances from Eva Mendes and Joaquin Phoenix - means I have to give it a 'two thumbs up' definitely go see it.

In other news Marty and Odette are getting hitched so big congrats goes out to them both - well more commiserations to Odette on getting stuck with that edjit! No in all seriousness two great people who are well suited to each other!

Photos of the snow are now up for all to view. 4am in the morning doesn't phase yours truly and his sidekick from getting some nice photos of the new year snow. One was heard to later comment - 'they're bloody lunatics Sally'.....lunatics?!? - not a bit of it!.

Music perfect for night driving - Anything by Doves - but especially Lost Souls & Lost Sides - truly awesome.

More to follow shortly and as always stay tuned.
