Hello, long time no post. Just saying. I was driving along in the RD mobile the other day and listening to a phone in show on the radio (who said men can't multi task eh?). The main topic on the show was to do with Michael Jackson, as the trial of his Doctor was beginning and big in the news. ...
LD, as we all like to call her, is five years old. Well, her blog is. And she deserves a whole post.There are blogs in the Lankanosphere that come and go, there are neeky (a word I got from the girls) ones, Action Man ones, photographic ones and those that say "come and stroll through life my with me and ...
One of the things I've realised in recent years is that women being from Mars and men being from Venus and all that sort of thing is actually wrong. It's giving the impression that there are similarities between the sexes, when in actual fact, as we all know, there aren't. And when I say "as we all know" I mean ...
1. This Southern Expressway thing. I worry about it. Really. 'cos let's face it, you lot aren't up there winning prizes in the best driver in the world competition, are you? The only rules of the road most Lankan drivers adhere to are the ones in your head. And you each have a different set in your head. This is ...
You first read about it here and I promised to tell you what happened. Well, here's the story. I give it to you a matter of moments after the event, with the playlist that was used continuing in the background and my breathing still a bit heavy after the effort. It was supposed to be freeing, liberating and all that, ...
I've got a whole half baked theory about the different types of personalities that play different instruments and, as it's only really half baked, I won't bore you with the finer details. But everyone I've shared it with agrees with me; there are definitley very specific personalities attracted to each instrument. And, by "each instrument", I mean each proper instrument; ...
It kind of went like this:Sunday afternoon - Arrive back from Sri Lanka, v knackered, v smelly (with that long distance flight smell that they must spray around the cabin when people are asleep, probably opening people's mouths and bunging a bit in there too).I unpacked, spoke to loved ones and attempted a poo. I failed in the latter task, ...
I visited some old friends the other day. I don't mean that they're very old in terms of age, just that I've known them for a long time, like probably longer than you are old.We chatted about all things Sri Lankan, about the fact that the things that are generally good for the country; hotel prices rising, cost of living ...
If all has gone according to plan you'll be able to look at my mindmap above and see the structure of this post. It might be on the left though, I haven't decided yet.It's a complicated mindmap, there are links, lines and ...
....for ugly people?Fuck off. Yes, you. The person who searched for that phrase and ended up here on my blog. I don't know. I don't plan to find out either. Ask Dinidu or Blacker. They'll know.Hmmm... I might be wrong about Dinidu, not because he's not ugly mind. ...
Is it just me who finds agreement stimulating and exciting? I ask this because I've noticed something in life that bothers me tremendously, something that I think is also reflected in the blogosphere and the Lankanosphere. It's exemplified by this; I write a post like this one, in which I take issue with the content of another post by Indi ...
So the new new iPad is now fully up and running and I'm just that little bit more of an Apple whorefan than I was before.Why?Well my iPad was stolen and it cost me quite a lot of money. But, had the same thing happened six months ago, my briefcase would have contained no iPad, just my hard copy of ...
I just had to share this with you.So many of the conversations I have with musos these days bemoan the lack of decent new music around at the moment, then I stumble on this.It reminds me of all that's good about music, the joy, the fun and what can be made by people with real talent.And it does what great music should do; it makes me smile. Check it out.
Over four years ago I wrote this post, in which I told you about M, one of my employees, and his somewhat unusual toilet behaviour. He's from the Ivory Coast, which probably explains everything. As we're taught in schools here, foreigners can't be trusted.At Christmas time M went back to the Ivory Coast for a one month holiday. It was ...
LD's post of the same name inspired me to whack out a quick one. I've been building an uncharacteristically slow list of posts to write, on "bigger" topics, but this is an update type of one, a what's been happening around these parts snippet. Well I've been seriously busy at work, and that's busy in all senses. I often think ...
..those who poo at the office and those who don't / can't / won't.And I fall into the latter category, pretty damn firmly I might add.I'm a home loving bird who likes my own toilet and has a certain level of bowel discipline that others, I fear, just don't possess, or perhaps don't want to possess. The whole procedure involved ...
Happy New 2012 to you. It's Sunday morning as I write this and the holiday season is rapidly coming to an end. I've just dropped C at Heathrow so she can return to Singapore and I'm mentally preparing myself for my return to work tomorrow. These long distance relationships are full of ups and those other things, downs, that's them, ...
Hello, sorry about the recent radio silence. Things have been madly busy at work and play and that looks like continuing for a while. So please don't go getting your hopes up by thinking "Oh great RD's back with some regular posts so I'll have something to smile about during my day". I must start by saying that I've got ...
Is actually very simple.Inconsistency, demonstrated by governments, the UN or pretty much anyone, is bad. It muddies the waters and confuses things. Consistent behaviour is much easier for anyone to understand.Anything that demonstrates intolerance for the abuse of people's human rights is good.That's it.
