It's been yet another quick week. Little baby Stewart is due in three weeks if you can believe that - we're hoping that he or she comes a bit sooner than that because now is an ideal time, what with Claire and the kids being away. It would just be a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere for us to introduce the…

2012 eh? The Mayans thought the World would end - fucking idiots. Not the Mayans, but the people who misinterpreted their calendar. It was a mixed bag - some good, some bad, but mostly good. I started with the misconception that I could code - what a lol. It was a mixture of getting a new, powerful PC and a…

The Darkness. The lovely melatonin bought me this several years ago as a Secret Santa gift. I played it for a couple of hours, got bored, and stopped. Many years later I played Syndicate, a game by the same team that made The Darkness. Having loved Syndicate, I decided to revisit The Darkness to see if I was a little…

I was going to do a big old post detailing the day's events, listing everyone who came and trying to write about all the funny things that happened, but I think I'll keep this one private. Suffice to say, it was the greatest day of my life. I love her.

Wedding – Danger close

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I don't mean that in a bad way, honest. Danger close is what they say in wars when bombs are being dropped close to friendly locations, and while this bomb won't blow up and kill friendlies, it is pretty close. I wouldn't say I'm nervous, but I am a little anxious: I just want it to be a good day…

Stag OMG

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
David and I went out for my tiny Stag-Do last night - I can still feel the effects of all that alcohol. It was just David and I for the most part, but Lisa and Stuart did turn up at one point for a drink. I don't remember exactly what happened, but we drank some bottles of Corona, some bottles…

Halo 4

November is going to be awesome. Halo 4 and getting married? Sweet. Of the ten maps available at launch, 8 are known. One of which is familiar, the rest are new. Ragnarok - The new name for Valhalla. I'm very happy about this. Adrift - This was one of the first maps announced, it features a mech being built in…

Wedding day getting scary near

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I'm not sure if I have mentioned this, but Jane and I are getting married in November. While my cousin did instill a bit of confidence in me with his motivational run through of his recent wedding, I am still a bit nervous. I'm sure it will be fine. Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

Taking stock

After the madness of my cousins wedding and the holiday with the boys, I feel I need to streamline my existence, have a good sort out and tidy everything up. I started today (whilst catching up on Peep Show - the tail end of series 6 and start of series 7), just general organisational things really, and I have next…
