Bloody Airborne Rats!
Posted Jan 19, 2003
I awoke this morning to a funny scratching and rustling sound coming from the pavement outside my house. I opened the curtains to find that a bag of rubbish that I had put outside yesterday had been attacked and destroyed by some effing seagull, leaving rubbish strewn all up and down the street!
Now us Brighton folk are usually pretty cagey about putting out rubbish early, precisely because of this problem with the local wildlife. However I thought this bag would be fine as it contained no food, just the rubbish from inside my car. How wrong was I.
I've now been out and picked up all the (now soaking wet - it's raining) garbage from the street and rebagged it. The new bag is now sitting in my kitchen and I think I'll hand it personally to the refuse collectors next week.

I am Two Years Old Today!
Posted Jan 7, 2003
Yes, it is two now years since I stumbled across h2g2, a dot-com as it was in those days. And my, hasn't a lot changed in that time!
I've had a great time hanging around in here. I've met lots of wonderful (and in one notable case very wonderful 
) people who have enriched my life and helped me to become a better person. Thank you one and all 
And thank you BBC for buying this place. If they hadn't my hootoo career would have been about a fortnight long, and I'd have missed out on so much.

Heartbreaking...
Posted Dec 31, 2002
... to see the remains of the Brighton West Pier lying broken in the sea 
Early on Sunday, 29th December the supports holding up the back end of the ballroom on the pier finally gave up the fight against 130 years of erosion and battering by the sea and collapsed. Much of the building followed the supports into the sea, leaving what is left perched at a precarious angle. This too will probably collapse in the days to come.
There is a profound sense of shock and grief in the town that such a well loved landmark has been wounded in this way. Every day since the collapse the beach around the pier has been crowded with onlookers watching in silence, this despite the terrible weather conditions.
There is also a feeling that all the parties involved in the pier's restoration should now bury the hatchet, and actually get on and rebuild as they had planned, and not sit around arguing with one another as has been the case for oh so many years. We really want this pier back. It is part of the town, it is part of the family, and at the moment it just feels like there has been a death

Posted Nov 19, 2002
This is just a test to see if something that I think might happen will happen when I post the journal.
Well here goes...
