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!

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

Ladygrove

Why, a year ago, didi the local council find it necessary to put signs up denoting that the estate on which I live is "Ladygrove Park". When I say signs, of course - there are 4 entrance roads to the estate. The "Welcome to Ladygrove Park" sign went up on one entrance... I don't understand.

Morning!
Is it really called Ladygrove Park? Where's the park bit come from? More to the point, is there a park?
Three more words, Hwyl, chariots and arse.
good evening

Since lords have parks around their stately homes, I take this as a feeble attempt to make the residents of Ladygrove feel like lords. Although I was quite happy with my lot, I never felt like a lord when I lived there.

Hope you are well, Jonathan. Any Rafferty news?
