Owen Blacker,
All of us here at TFAW.com are chomping at the bit for
the new Serenity comic to be re...
King John hits out at ‘Magna Carta’ (805)
Shamelessly plagiarised from Sal (www.livejournal.com/~vervain_), but I liked it.
King John today described the Lords of the Realm as being ‘soft on terror’ after a council at Runnymede denied him the right to imprison men without trial by their peers. "Since the beg...
Odd day (893)
Gardaí removing bags of sterling (from the <i>Irish Independent</i>) Very excited earlier by half a dozen brief snow flurries. Not enough to settle yet, so no snowmen (sorry NotDan), but hopefully next we...
Looong day (692)
"Like finding a ten dollar bill you’ve lost down the back of the car seat"
But, we launched WriteToThem.com, which is like FaxYourMP on steriods, letting users contact any of their elected officials, from local authorities, through national parliaments, through Westminster, to MEPs. Very proud....
100 Greatest Tearjerker moments (679)
Watching it for an hour so far before I actually started getting teary. Obviously it had to be <i>Truly, Madly, Deeply</i>. But it’s #24 — what on earth is it doing that low down?! And someone really needs to shoot that

erm, Owen, oddly enough.

Allons enfants de la Patrie, le jour de gloire est arriv
Bloo! Been doing a load of FYR stuff today. Des came over, just as England were having their arses kicked, mainly by the gorgeous French #9 Dimitri Yachvili. Still, it’s unsurprising they weren’t kicking the Fre...
Lots of weirdness (713)
It’s very weird seeing Pierce Brosnan and Cait Blanchett speaking in their own accents. And quite wierd seeing Mark Hughes in the dugout for a team I’mnot supporting.
Hmm. 😊

Don’t panic — blame it on us.
Simply order from our site as usual, then when you get to the checkout pagesselect ‘Blame us’ as the gift wrap type. Your order will arrive w...
Odd day (567)
Howcome Charlie from Busted looks so much sexier when he’s being rockier and wearing a goatee?
Got all the M&S stuff done by lunchtime. Really cool feeling, knowing that I’ve just successfully extended some code that, three days ago, I’d never even seen before. And in Java too, which makes me feel much more confident in the language, even if all I did was create a new subclass of the abstract...
Fucking idiots (660)
Like Nancy Reagan said: Just Say No! Well, thanks to us living in a mature democracy, we now have to rely on a bunch of unelected toffs and cronies to defeat the most ineffectual, illiberal, expensive and pointless...
Hur (668)
Ebby’s blog has this great link on it: www.buggery.org/bugger[...]ory=hanky-ribbon-codes — comparing hanky codes with ribbon colors. I smirked.
LJ (565)
Ebby has set this up to be a syndicated LJ account at www.livejournal.com/~hoyw (it’s Welsh for poof). Hurrah!
In other news, Sal (vervain) has given upmeat+ and +alcohol for Lent! So I guess I sha’n't invite him to Sunday lunch at the Spoon...
Ooh yah! (587)
Well someone’s picked it up (489)
Eurgh, brain hurts. End of brain dump (in person, at least: there’s at least one topic that still needs to be handed over by email after Andy’s client drinks thing this evening). I now know how to do shedloads of different NS&I things and the M&S affiliates marketing XML feed.
In other news, +fin...
My head hurts! (621)
Finally, at twenty past three, I get to grab something to eat. Beenso busy this morning (after my late start).
And I just broke my head. Was working on the M&S thing, then had to deploy an NS&I thing, then had a five-minute phone call from Phil about NO2ID s...

Why are tube drivers such cunts and won’t reopen the doors for 30 seconds?
Gorau chwarae cyd chwarael-droed.jpg Very floaty-light today. Woke up at 0930 and belted it into work. Remembered to wear my pêl-droed kit and to bring the flag, though, so I’m relatively happy.
Today is Andy’s last da...
Give the bitchy nicotine queen her damn cigarettes! (551)
Lauren Booth writes for theMail on Sunday /?!
Yeah, yeah, camera phones are shit, I know. Giving up smoking is so deeply earling difficult.
Now, I guess most of my mates already know that I ain’t really giving up for the sake of my lungs or heart. D...

Aww! 😄 Yesterday was Des’s and my one-month anniversary. Now, obviously,I completely forgot about this (remembering instead that we met on Boxing Day and not making any effort to buy him something only a...

Lookit what I made! Saturday night was great fun, though, with a strip poker party. Amongst the guests were Russ and Gareth, who were both particularly pretty naked, though I’m still somewhat disappoi...
Mixed weekend (486)
Deev’s not lost his Mojo! Been feeling very crappy almost constantly since Wednesday night — been off work Thursday and Friday — but had a relatively fun weekend nonetheless. Chatted with Deev ...

Actual work?! (656)
Penblwydd hapus, Jordan!
Long day. Rather than being sat reading accessibility stuff all day and trying to resist the urge to succumb to my wikiholism, I’ve got some work to do for a client of ours, using a hacked-up version of another CMS (hacked-up to make...
Night everyone! (521)
Shameless is very funny. Even more so when stoned.
Good NO2ID meeting earlier. And we’ve printed a deeply cool Guide to Campaigning.
