The bizarre case of the menacing hotdog stand...

Back from a weekend in London catching up with friends.... So little time to see even a few people. More changes since I have been away... former AI colleagues leaving, lots of gossip .. but still the same feeling when ever I am there....

......and of course talking complete bollocks in the pub with old friends never changes..... which brings me to the hotdog stand! Let's just say the next time you run for a bus in London, beware menacing hotdog sellers who stand in the middle of the pavement... MAN RUNNING TO BUS + HOTDOG SELLER AND METAL HOTDOG STAND = CRASH, BANG and facial injuries.

How personal is a blog?

I had a comment today that my writing thoughts in a blog was very unlike me. I guess it is true, normally I don't express my thoughts publicly. But hey, there is always a first time!!

The main difference seems to be that I'm writing this for myself more than for anyone else. I get a good feeling just writing these words now... not sure why..maybe because I don't have to go over them again and again (as I have to in my job) to ensure they are correct etc. Here I can just type any old bollocks (and that it is) without any worry!

Maybe it's just a fad and I will forgot about the whole thing (I am rather lazy after all) but maybe not...only time will tell!

Now back to work!!

A quiet day in a quiet place...

Not much to report. Emilie headed back to London yesterday so I have the city to myself!

It's so different to London.. So few people (only 200,000 if I'm correct) and so much more laid back. Traveling to work in the morning is surreal in comparison. No crowded buses or tubes, smelling people's armpits and reading their paper over their shoulders! Instead a ride on a super efficient (of course) Swiss Train with only a hand full of other passengers. Strange seeing open green fields instead of Newington Green and a lake Geneva in place of the small fountain on Islington Green!

Back to the big smoke on Thursday however to catch up with friends and, just perhaps, have a swift half in a local drinking establishment!

Over and out....

A burst of inspiration

After talking on messenger with a very good friend I feel a lot more inspired to write something! She has also just started her own blog (http://ladelentes.blogspot.com) and as you can see it is slightly better than this one. So quick tip... go to her blog instead!!!!

I have also just started using Gaim as my messenger client instead of MSN. It's a great tool (supports MSN, Yahoo, blah, blah) and open source to boot. Try it out at:

Ta for now!

Bored

Saturday afternoon in Geneva and not much going on. One of those days when you can't be bothered to do anything. I really am a lazy sod!

Can this blog get any less exciting? At this point it is probably best to abandon all hope....
