My friend, the novelist Peter Moss who I met through the now defunct sixdegrees website has just posted an amazing series of B/W photos.

Chat Facilities (part two)

by Znethru @ 26 May. 2008 - 21.58:59

I am off all chat facilities all day long... i.e. for about twelve hours.

I suddenly switch them all on and about four people are around out of the possible twenty I'm in touch with.

I write to these four.

Only one is "at home".

A pattern is slowly beginning to emerge.

Game Plan

by Znethru @ 23 May. 2008 - 11.09:52

Can having a game plan work?

Your main weapon here is your diary and a red pencil.

Let's work out a weekly, montly and 6-monthly game plan!

Tomorrow - take the day off.

Next week - Blog about what you did on your day off.

In 6 months time, make a complete top to bottom change of lifestyle.

I am copyrighting the above useful information as I wouldn't want anyone to infringe it.

Chat facilities

by Znethru @ 18 May. 2008 - 00.35:00

I've got Skype, ICQ, MSN, AIM and YM not to forget Google talk...

Why is it in that case, that no one is ever around when I'd like to have a conversation?

Time to make some more friends in Australia, I think!

I've got one book on every subject.

Is this really England's best team?

by Znethru @ 15 May. 2008 - 00.13:14

England: Michael Vaughan (capt), Alastair Cook, Andrew Strauss, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Paul Collingwood, Tim Ambrose (wkt), Stuart Broad, Ryan Sidebottom, Monty Panesar, James Anderson.

Vaughan is on the way out and will soon be replaced by Collingwood. Strauss is in rather dubious form. Anderson is a bit wild. Cook is also in a lean patch.

Robert Key is likely to be recalled to the squad at some point and if Flintoff regains fitness he'll probably replace Anderson. I'd love to see Bopara get back into the side as well.

England are big favourites to win this series, but I think it will be a much closer battle than a lot of people are envisaging.

Znethru's 1st and 2nd telephone laws

by Znethru @ 13 May. 2008 - 12.05:51

1. Nobody is ever there when you want to speak to them on the telephone.

2. If they are there, they are so busy they can't speak to you.

Pimp your Profile

by Znethru @ 08 May. 2008 - 18.42:46

"Pimp" my profile? I am so glad that this option isn't hard sold on BCUK. Why on Earth would I want to "Pimp" my profile? Isn't it Pimpy enough as it is?

Welcome all non Brits to these humble blogging-type pages.

Bye bye and have a nice e-day.

Has Blogging become too slow a medium?

by Znethru @ 05 May. 2008 - 16.47:40

I am thinking of moving into film-directing, well, at least, making clips for YouTube.

Am on the verge of getting hold of a Camcorder and have quite a few ideas in development.

Teaming up with fellow conceptualist, Mr B, for at least part of the time and working under the soubriquet 'Znethru'.

"Happy go Lucky" the new Mike Leigh film.

by Znethru @ 05 May. 2008 - 11.19:03

Poppy is a 30-year old primary school teacher who doesn't take life too seriously. During the film she tries various different leisure activities - trampolining, flamenco and going out on a boating lake. Mike Leigh (for a change) shows us how someone with a sunny disposition interacts with the rest of society (who are generally a pessimistic lot).
The main point of the film is arguably the strange relationship that forms between Poppy and her driving instructor. If you've never seen a Mike Leigh film before, you will consider this to be 'very different'. Another thought-provoking effort from this original film-maker.

Chancers on eBay

by Znethru @ 01 May. 2008 - 22.20:35

I am bored after surfing eBay for a few minutes.

I've found a Piano for £6,900 possibly worth £1,750

a Camcorder for £199 possibly worth £65

and a collection of novelty rubber ducks for £30 possibly worth £8

...a pattern is beginning to emerge!
