Circus of Horrors
We’ve just been to see Circus of Horrors at the Brighton Centre. Sadly, the scariest thing was the venue itself. Don’t take that the wrong way. The venue really was diabolically awful. We had seats (cheap seats, admittedly) on the … Continue reading
Google Musings
Aristotle is thinking laterally. This reminded me of a talk I saw last night by Jack Cohen. He presented a brilliant slide (which I appear to be utterly unable to locate) of a sign in some public place, with the … Continue reading
London Weekend
We spent the weekend in London. A nice little break after the christmas period (which was fun, but it’s nice to get some time alone). The initial reason was that my wife’s work was treating everybody with tickets to the … Continue reading
