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
- Name: Jonathan
- 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

Some things in Norwich have not changed in decades. Some things have changed in the blinking of an eye. Mind you, every time Sam's father came up to Norwich, something burnt down (Library, Assembly Rooms, Roys of Wroxham...). It can't be said that the new library is not a vast improvement on the old one though!

Danone Activia
"I'm just feeling a bit bloated".
"Oh, I get that. I eat these new Activia from Danone"....
You get the gist. Turns out, her mother is well enough to steal her yoghurts and run off down the garden.
Basically, my love, you have a kleptomaniac mother who steals food from the mouths of her child, and hasn't got the intelligence to stop eating or let rip with an almighty fart to get rid of her bloatedness.
Have you ever heard anyone say "I feel a little bloated". Well, apart from Dan that is, and he's just looking for sympathy...
Star Trek
There, that's off my chest.
However, it is still not as good as the new series of Dr Who.

Albert Hall
Is this an unhealthy obsession that people have with wishing to fill every orifice of a public building? I'm sure some psycho-analysts would have a field day with that one.
