If all red, boiled lobsters are dead, and all dead, boiled lobsters are red, does it follow that all red, dead lobsters are boiled?take the next left... Mar 19, 2005 No Comments
today...well, yesterday now, i did another pointless thing. On my way back from badminton i decided to take a different route home, in fact, the route i took, took more than twice as long, but i really enjoyed it. This had me thinking...as most things do, a car is all about freedom. now i know this has been said before the world over, but i guess i found this interesting because it want until that moment that i truly understood.this taking an odd route home has been going on a while now, and all seems to have come from myself and Naomi (who is first mentioned here). we have been lift sharing as we now both drive and discovered we live quite close. she is rather random, and i think most people agree i am, either odd, random, or both, so we make a rather odd pair in the car. so when we were behind someone from badminton in the car who was going the same way, we decided (she suggested, i was driving) to go a different way at the traffic lights just to confuse them. then, going down the road we were now on, we were talking about all the different ways to get home from where we now were, and she just mentioned the left turn i could take...and suddenly...i turned left (scared her a bit)...then the mp3 player stopped (random crash (of it, not the car)), so i pulled over to fix it...then off we went. Then we came a round-a-bout...after a slightly strange route, and decided to go to the village next door to our town, and so we went there, and went to the house of the person who we had followed in the first place...they weren't there, so we went off round the bypass and home....it was a mini adventure. it is nice just to do something random once in a while...just to keep things interesting
hmm, well, i cant think of a subject for this.... Mar 8, 2005 No Comments

Band aid Dec 9, 2004 No Comments
I have just watched a program about band-aid 20. You know, 20 years ago there was an event called band-aid and it raised vast sums for the millions starving in Ethiopia, and now they are having a kind of "revival" with mainly new singers etc. Well, the program was great, the cause was well worth it, the idea was brilliant and their motivation was astounding, yet I still see "comedians" having a laugh at people in Africa. WHY? What's the point? Do they deserve it. NO. It's people in richer countries that have quite often caused their predicament, either by lack of action, lack of helpful action or by negative action. There was only one thing it that program that made me smile, and it was Bob Geldof complaining that after 20 years they still couldn't get his name right on his badge.A load of food for thought Dec 8, 2004 No Comments
Humour. It's an odd thing really. What makes some people find something funny, and other, not only do they not find it funny, they don't even get it? How can you define humour. Is it just something that makes you laugh? What is laughing anyway, is it just you body telling you that you are beyond help? I always heard it was I sign of stress, so then why do we do it when we are not stressed as well. Perhaps we are stressed all the time and we just don't notice it much? People tell me I think too much. In fact, actually, I think it's only Craig Ackland, so really, its not "people tell me I think too much" it's "a person tells me I think too much". Maybe I do, that would explain the last couple of pages, but can you ever think too much? Isn't the human race just naturally curious. This is why when there is a car accident or something like that, even when there is no disruption to the road, and it is clear, there is always a queue. It's because people have slowed down to have look. We just seem to want to take a good look at other misfortune. Perhaps this is so that in the future, we may avoid such an incident. Maybe this has come from our early beginnings when we were just looking to go forth, multiply, and survive. But then we are back to the humour. Isn't there the sick joke, or satanical humour? (Well, I know there is, it was a rhetorical question). If so, it can't just be that we are looking to ensure we avoid such an incident, maybe it's because we actually enjoy seeing others suffer. This might also explain the nation's fascination with the soap opera. The chance to see your favourite characters every week fall in to some kind of mortal danger, you get to see hundreds upon hundreds of them kick the bucket in ever more fanciful ways. To quickly return to my earlier gripe with the spell checker, it now also doesn't like the word "satanical", I'm sure this is a word. I have just this second looked in my Collins dictionary (and no, they don't sponsor me! (I wish!)) And according to that, it is a word. So I hereby launch my complaint to Microsoft that such an important word to the English language has not bee included in their dictionary.This has just reminded me of a story that somewhat concerned me recently. The English Navy now has a Satanist aboard one of its submarines. This in itself is bad enough, but a judge has ruled allowing him to carry out satanic rituals whilst serving. This is in the same way that members of the Royal Navy are allowed to have time to pray etc. Now in all for equality, but what the hell (poor joke) is a Satanist doing aboard a British Navy submarine. Was the judge not aware of the problems this could lead too? "well, you said I could carry out my rituals, well, its part of my religion to sacrifice the odd person now and then, you know, just to keep Satan happy an all" What has the world come to?
As I way typing that last passage I became more and more frustrated with that good old corner stone of modern society, Microsoft Word™. When I typed the word "Satan" without a capital "s" at the start, It put that little red line under it indicating it was spelt wrong. However when I changed the "s" to a capital, then away went my friend the red line, indicating it was now spelt correctly. Now unless I'm very much mistaken, I haven't changed the spelling (please do correct me if I'm wrong). If anything, the green line should have been used indication a problem with the grammar, but no, good old Microsoft common sense strikes again! This later happened with another word, "British". Now you would have thought that I package like Word would be able to rectify this simple mistake for me, it's not much to ask, to capitalise a letter is it. Well, it appears this is dependant upon the word. If you type the word Microsoft, then suddenly, before your very eyes, the capitalisation of the first letter, funny that!
Please remove your feet from under my chair Jul 22, 2004 No Comments
well, your asking for a definition my loss but not yet found friend....it is simple, i have no idea what it means because, quite simply, we didn't get round to it. There I was, sitting with my feet underneath the other Craig's chair, and alas we stumbled upon a name, albeit an odd and somewhat misguided name, but it is a Name nonetheless. And it is one that we shall be proud to bear under the great banner which is the World Wide Web. Now as I am at a loss as to what to say, I bid you farewell, and wish you bon voyage on the long road ahead (why not).TTFN
