Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

10 things to do before I die

I keep making this list and then forgetting what is on it, so I'm recording it here so I don't forget...:


  1. Stand for Parliament.
  2. Travel round the Peloponnese and take in all the archeaological sites of Ancient Greece.
  3. Have a conversation in Greek with a Greek in Greece without them realising that I am British.
  4. Score a try in a competitive rugby match.
  5. Record a CD of my own compositions.
  6. Take 5 wickets and score a 50 in a competetive cricket match (not necessarily in the same game!)
  7. Get to a level of fitness that I can walk up hill s without being out of breath...
  8. Learn to play the guitar to a reasonable level of competence.
  9. Finish reading Dostyevsky's "Crime and Punishment"



I still have to decide on the last two (Dostoyevsky might not stay on the list), but the rest should keep me reasonably busy!
