Back blogging on board

A screenshot of a PleasancePageI've decided that it's time to start blogging again. Or rather I've decided that I have time to blog again. I'm currently on-board a GNER train from London to Edinburgh (presently in York) and taking advantage of the wireless internet access. I had already decided that it would probably be worth paying the £10 to use wifi for the who journey, but as it turns out, it seems to be free of charge. Not complaining. Except that the service is provided by a company based in Sweden, meaning that I have a Swedish IP address. Not a problem, except that banner adverts are targetted at "Europeans" and I can't watch the live streaming of the Open Golf from the BBC. Damn it!

RabbitFive months after my debut as Cow, Friday night found me back inside a furry animal suit. This time I was dressed as a rabbit, for the ICU Easter Carnival.

Most people thought I was crazy to spend a Friday night (stuffed with the cold) sweating away inside a furry costume in a venue full of 1100 drunk students. But I can honestly report that it was a lot of fun.

It's a Mac!

I've invested in a new toy. The new Mac Mini with Intel Duo Processor. It's very sexy and, in fact, I'm posting from it right now. It's just so... nice.

Don't know if anyone is actually reading this now. Don't suppose so. If you are, you'll be pleased to know I'm home (in North Berwick) for Christmas now.

Life as a Cow

Submitted by simon on Tue, 06/12/2005 - 01:34.

Some time ago now, I performed for four days as a Highland Cow, as part of a promotion for a bagel company in London. Now, by the wonders of the internet, you too can enjoy 40 seconds of this delight.

Enjoy...
