Hi everyone!! Help yourself to a cup of  and some  .
Well I have to say I live in a pretty amazing place. The scenery's amazing, especially when it stops raining - which it's just done, but give it 5 minutes and it'll be raining again.
People come from all over the place to have a look at the Giant’s Causeway. It's really a big pile of funny shaped stones, but there's a great legend about the giant Finn McCool.
But if you can't get here yourself, at least have a look at some of Northern Ireland's attractions.
I can't really remember how I got introduced to Hitchhiker. It was ages ago anyway. I think we had three of the books just lying round the house, so I read them and that was it.
Now, I have two sets of the books, the TV series on video, the film on DVD, and a little teddy called Ford. Oh yeah, and my Ford Fiesta's called Arthur. (He's living up to his name too - scary to think how much work's been done to my car.)
Here's a real Ford Prefect car! I've never seen one in reality though.
Well, as you might have noticed, I'm a Queen fan. But I don't just listen to Queen. My CD collection includes:
The Beatles
Frank Sinatra
Simon and Garfunkel
Take That
Robbie Williams
Coldplay
The Eagles
I've heard some great tribute bands:
Talon is an absolutely brilliant Eagles tribute band - if you get the chance to see them, take it.
The Bootleg Beatles are the Beatles tribute band (obviously, clue's in the name).
Flash Harry does a fantastic Freddie Mercury/Queen tribute.
I've also started fanclubs for Dire Straits and the Beatles. So click on the badges if you want to check them out. And please join!

I've liked Star Trek and Star Wars, well, forever. And I have to say I'm loving the Doctor.
I'm a Professor at the Starfleet Academy, specialising in the Borg and a member of the Star Trek Appreciation Society. So all you Trek fans get over there and join up!
Play Space Invaders. Can you beat me? I got to level 7 with 20690 points before getting taken out.
I  detectives. I've been watching them for years and there are probably aren't many episodes of my favourites that I've missed.
My favourites would be:
Dalziel and Pascoe
Foyle’s War
Morse
Midsomer Murders
Poirot
Lynley
Miss Marple
By the way - you're being watched.......

Ok, I think I probably watch far too much TV for my own good. I'm a bit addicted to period dramas. (Weird combination, I know - sci-fi, detectives and period drama.)
Call me daft if you must, but there's nothing like a man with blue eyes, or in uniform, or in period costume. Or, even better, a combination of all three!
So if anyone knows any of these guys from these dramas, please point them in my direction.
Hornblower
Monarch of the Glen
Pride and Prejudice
Due South

I'm hoping that others out there apart from Kaz and myself have heard of, and indeed eaten, chocolate muffins. They are an ingenious invention, and need to be acknowledged as such. Therefore, it is only right that, as part of this acknowledgement, there be a smiley dedicated to such a wonderful invention. Please join our campaign - go here for the campaign page.
I know everyone has their own ideas and impressions of what a church is like depending on what their experience is. Don't worry, I don't preach at anyone. I firmly believe that everyone's entitled to their own opinions and beliefs and we should respect each other's beliefs.
Ok, my church is non-denominational and has only been going a few years. There's no pews, no organ, and no boring sermon. Actually, we don't even have our own building yet, but that doesn't mean we're any less fun. We ARE fun, and that's the way church should be. Lots of the people who come are in their teens, twenties and thirties, and everyone shows up in jeans or whatever. Very comfy.
If you want to find out more about the church, click here (My Church) to get to the church website.
I'm not alone - I've found the h2g2 Christians.

I just read an article about different "appearances" of Christ and Mary.
http://news.uk.msn.com/odd-news/gallery.aspx?cp-documentid=148035088
Always strikes me as a bit odd. The grilled cheese sandwich is the oddest I think. They say it's 10 years old, but has never gone mouldy.  Like the way they kept eating round the image though.
Always strikes me as odd. In some of the photos it's hard to see what we're supposed to be seeing. Like the Mars image. I can't see anything.
I have to admit I struggle to beleive them all. Not that I mean any disrespect to any of the people who have believed them though.

Scary news stories
(Oct 25, 2009)
Just been having a look at some of the random news stories out there this weekend.

Just for a bit of randmness. I know they're totally daft stories and wh yon earth do we really need or want to hear them, but is it just a little reassuring that tsomeone took the time to report on something that was a bit random rather than the usual recession and swine flu and other depressing stuff.

Advert Technobabble
(Oct 18, 2009)
What is it with adeertisers at the moment? Every other ad on tv seems full of fake science technobabble stuff.
OK, so I think it's a great idea not to think your audience are stupid. But still....
What exactly *are* "collogen biospheres" and "bifidus digestivum" anyway? Sounds so made up.

Why Facebook?
(Oct 10, 2009)
I haven't signed up to it yet. I don't quite trust it, which in a way seems daft as I'm on hootoo, but this is different.
People have told me that it's great for sharing photos with friends, but if I want to show my friends photos, I'll take the pics with me when I see them next, or I'll email them.
I also don't like the idea of uploading photos of my friends and family online for whoever to see. I know there are a lot of privacy options, but still...there could be ways around them. And besides, do you really want ot share pics with all your friends when they probably don't care that much?
I just can't see why I should sign up. I don't know how far to trust the privacy, so I don't see the point. I see most of my friends and family fairly regularly, and I have their email addresses and phone numbers anyway, so why should I sign up to *another* thing to contact them when I can email, text or phone them?

Sorry I've been away
(Feb 22, 2009)
but I'm back now. In between work, my PC dying, and having great trouble geting my new laptop to connect to the internet it seems I've been away for 2 months!! Didn't think it was that long. Sorry for the absence. I promise I wasn't ignoring anyone.
