foolfillment: the blog

All thanks to tesco.com

With lots on at the moment it’s been good to just sit and tweak with the site tonight to take my mind off it. It has however thrown up a lot of things I want to fix, there is a lot of inconsistency in all the different pages and I’ve not put nearly enough comments in the templates for me to make sense of them straight off.

The change though tonight is the addition of categories, I started filing things in categories a while back but then stopped when I couldn’t really see much point, but then the other day I realised they are a good way to organise any photos I put up here, rather than having a separate blog I can just categorise them.

I still have to go through all the old entries, I need some better names for them and I’l get round to giving a decription to them too but these are all tasks for a rainy day, not a nice sunny one like today was, especially when I have lots of uni work that takes priority.

Celtic’s 77-game unbeaten home record ends

Apologies to anyone who wants an unbiased blog.

There’s something that appeals to me about situations where people behave like they are a completely different age, like the Vauxhall advert that’s on now with the two kids talking like they are the adults, but what I really like watching is something I’ve never really had the chance to watch before, but this year I can because I’m normally at home at the time it’s on – lots of grown-ups gather in a big grand hall and shout and argue and jeer like children watching a playground fight.

I am of course talking about Prime Minister’s Questions. No matter where you stand it’s always fun to watch, especially since Michael Howard became Tory leader, (he’s an ex-QC isn’t he?) who always seems to have a good time picking at Tony Blair.

I think my favourite bit is the crowd mentality of it all, the cheering/jeering after anyone has said anything. No matter if he* makes a valid point, or even makes sense then his fellow party members support him by groaning loudly. I’m not sure if I’m going anywhere inspirational with this, I’m just saying, like. It makes me laugh.

* ‘he’ in the non-gender specific way, you understand, I’m not implying that only men get the support I’m talking about, now go away you smelly pedant.

I’ve not been away walking since Christmas time (and I’ve just realised I didn’t make any mention of it here, Ben Vorlich if you’re interested, I didn’t get any good photos) and I’d like to get away again this term if I can. So I set about looking for a decent website that’ll tell me what hills I can get to by train from Glasgow but I couldn’t really find one, I couldn’t really find any websites that were actually any good. So, your task, should ou choose to accept it, is to tell me some hills I can get to (perhaps with an overnight camp) or the url to a good website that will tell me.

Or maybe an an invitation to the first blogmeet to be held above 3000 feet along with a lift there.

Or maybe I should go away and build a decent website myself, with the info you’re going to give me.

Waddya say?

It’s been a long time coming but finally the A1 is open between Haddington and Dunbar.

An update is perhaps in order.

I got back to Glasgow on Saturday (you can read about it here) after a three week Easter break from uni, it has been quite quiet over that period, hopefully I’ll be able to make up for that over the next few weeks.

I seem to have an influx of comments from nu-produkt regulars for some reason which I welcome, I’ve gotten a bit dry in my blogging recently and it’s the comments that make it worhwhile carrying on, I don’t imagine that I’ll have time to carry on when I get a grown up job. I’m still catching up on all the blogs that I’ve missed over my holiday, it seems the Audi Olympics have come to an end unfortunately, as has meish. Not good at all.

I’ll have some good photos to put up soon, and perhaps it’s time to start a proper photolog after so many aborted attempts. I’ll have something good to write soon but for now I’m off for a ood many drinks while Celtic get humped.

As a parting note to roughly cover the last few uneventful days in my life : do see Starsky and Hutch.

Answers in the comments please. I’ll give you a clue, the when was Saturday night.
