Incident on Snake Pass…

I’d forgotten how much of a genius John Shuttleworth is…Or maybe he’s an aquired taste icon_confused Either way, he’s currently on tour and I’d recommend giving it a go. And if you’re still not sure after the video, then check out his website. It’s full of info and more importantly has audio files for all of his Radio 1 late night shows from, staggeringly, 14 years ago icon_surprised Not too sure Radio 1 would let him loose for half an hour now days though!!!

Oh, and just to keep you posted on the recent site revamp… The mysterious blank comments page glitch seems to have miraculously cured itself??? So I might now set about hacking my sidebar to pieces… Expect carnage icon_eek

Angel 2.1 - A tentative 1st outing…

As usual with web/blog design, despite taking my time with the major revamp of this site, I’m now incredibly impatient to get the new look online… So, as it’s fast approaching the witching-hour and as I’ve already sampled a few glasses of red, I’m going to give the new look a tentative little outing. So if anyone is looking in and notices any glaring mistakes, or indeed a whole page of jargon, then do let me know icon_smile

I am a bit of a sucker for giving things a face-lift (probably too often than is really needed!!!) and felt this site was long overdue a revamp… And I’m not just talking about the blog part. To be honest, I dedicate so much time just updating the blog that I almost forget that this site is a lot more than it’s Rambling blog. There’s almost 4 years of stuff crammed away in the dark dusty recesses of this website… Most of which I would happily ditch and very nearly did, but according to the stats people do check out those forgotten about pages (mostly the early images which I simply loath icon_eek ), so I’ve imported almost all of the old stuff onto the blog part of this site (About - History - and those dreaded images!!!)… And that’s what has taken the time icon_rolleyes

Anyway, enough rambling. Time to push the button!!!

Tinkering…

Just a little word of warning… I’m in a tinkering kind of mood at the moment and any regular readers of this blog will know the consequences of that… Basically my blog could go pop at any moment icon_eek

I’ve been wanting to revamp the site for a while now and last week I set to work. Not being what you’d call an expert on css code design I usually trawl through the many Wordpress themes on the Internet and customize/completely ruin, to give it my own unique style icon_smile The only problem however, and this is a real problem with Wordpress (which I love) at the moment, is that, unlike Blogger (which I grew to hate) there is no preview feature when editing a new theme. So basically you have to blindly (well it is if you’re anything like me!!!) muck about with the css code until you think it will look ok, then open a bottle of red and hit the switch theme button icon_eek I’ve done it many times before and there’s always been massive problems… Well this time I wanted to get it right, so I’m taking my time icon_confused

So while I’m taking my time if you notice a few things disappearing or moving about then you’ll know why icon_smile

5 reasons why I’m a real sucker for Tomb Raider…

Over the years they’ve all playing their part in creating the top 21st-century female icon. From left to right, Lara Weller, Nell McAndrew, Karima Adibibe, Jill de Jong and Lucy Clarkson have all played the role of Lara Croft… I’m sure there are probably some other endearing qualities to the game, but at the moment I appear to be stuck with these five icon_cool

Fur…

Interesting documentary that I so wasn’t going to watch…Now people can argue the toss with me all night long on this if they want, but…

this is simply SO wrong on oh so many levels… It sickens me.

Calvin and Hobbes - Rain…

There does come a point in one’s life when your opinion of rain completely changes… I’ve no idea when mine did, but I’m sat here hating the bloody stuff at the moment icon_sad
