Economics, as I understand it

I never studied economics at school, so I sometimes feel a little bemused by the workings and terminology used. I have noticed a few things though:

When the price of oil goes up, the price of petrol goes up.

When the price of oil comes down, the price of petrol goes up.

When tax goes […]

On the move

Apparently I’m moving. Ooh er.

The server that hosts this site is setting off on a short voyage to a new data centre later today, so I may be offline for a while – hopefully not for very long.

The Breath of Life

Things I am not good at: reviewing plays. I offer as evidence the fact that this is my fourth (or is it fifth?) attempt to write a simple post. Could. Do. Better.

Cancel the review then, I’ll simply tell you that Sheffield Theatre’s David Hare season is highly recommended. Having managed to miss previous […]

Updating

I decided to allow the list of upgrades that had appeared for this blog.

This broke the blog. Grrr.

Oddly, the simple act of publishing this post seemed to fix the broken RSS feed problem. I’ll never understand feeds. Oh well, I don’t understand many things, just one more for the list!

Anyhoo, I think […]

Rolf Paints his Dream

Can you tell what it is yet?

With all the riches on offer during the recent Sheffield Doc/Fest, I could happily have moved into the Showroom Cinema for the duration, but alas, time and deadlines were against me, so I had to choose.

My choice proved to be a popular one. The promised appearance of […]

And the winner is…

…Henderson’s Relish!

It is now officially the Vegetarian Society’s Best Store Cupboard Ingredient Winner. Quite right too.

“Everyone should have this gem in the cupboard, a Worcestershire style sauce without the anchovies, perfect to add to almost any savoury dish.”

It may have been better if I hadn’t mentioned to Mr TLC that my […]

Friday Night Take Away

Could I just mention how flipping fantastic Miss Masala’s chicken jhalfrezi and Madhur Jaffrey’s naan bread are? I can? Excellent.

I’d show you a photo, but I was too busy nomming to remember to take one.

The naan recipe made enough to feed me, Mr TLC and approx 5000 others, so we’re trying an […]

Did someone mention Dr Who?

He’s proud of the BBC:

Me too.

And you?

This shouldn’t need saying again…

… but evidently it does.

Lots of lovely people visit this blog and many of them take the time to leave comments. You’re all most welcome, thanks for taking the time to do that.

I don’t moderate comments (apart from automated SPAM catching), but I do reserve the right to remove links or to delete […]

Going to the dogs

It is Monday and I am laughing.

This may be because I am mad.

Or it may be because I just stumbled across the latest gem of a video from OK Go!

Or it may be because OK Go! are mad.

Maybe all of the above are true. Whatever, enjoy it […]
