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

Paul McCartney (sorry, Sir Paul) and Apple

There is something very ironic about Apple using Sir Paul McCartney's latest album on the adverts for iPod and iTunes. The Beatles' record company, Apple, have had a long history with Apple Computers, Inc., over many years of litigation over the name Apple. More specifically, Apple Records sued Apple Computers for promoting music using the Apple name. It all got sorted out until iTunes came along and Apple Computers turned into Apple (iPod), Inc.

So Macca advertising Apple Computer's main product is slightly strange. I guess he needs the cash to rebuild his dwindling fortune.
