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

The Oxford Star

This is a free newspaper delivered within Oxfordshire. A selection of items this week:

Someone from Blackbird Leys won £25 for taking two photographs, one of something beautiful in the area and one of something grotty. Beautiful? The Kassam Stadium! (and this with a big picture of someone waving £25 in the air on the front page)

A bench has been built outside a hospital.

Someone had to cancel a gig and the club owners got someone else in at the last moment.

Alan Whicker came to Oxford.

The council have built a new office.

A letter addressed to Mill Road somewhere in Cornwall was delivered to Wolvercote, Oxford

Grandparents can get some money off on train tickets.

I got too depressed and suicidal to read any further.
