Can someone do me a favour and see if they have any Squirrel Nut Zippers in their catalog? I'd rather not pass out my credit card details is they don't have what I need.
thanks

I'm having the strangest Linux error today. I keep getting "Command not found" trying to run an executable. The file is there, it's set executable to everyone, it's in the path and still "COmmand not Found". I've even tried full path to the binary.
Not even Google can help me :(

Is surprisingly not High School Musical 2. I'm not saying it was good or anything but it didn't make me claw out my own eyes.

Strange, strange kiwi film. But very enjoyable and touching. Thanks psychochiken and zantic.
For some inexplicable reason, I seem to have thrown away the christmas tree. This is not good.

Damn you Doctor Who Adventure Calendar, damn you to hell!
I have returned from the frozen wastes of Denmark. Had a lovely time, saw Bond (okay but most definitely a "middle" film), went to a Danish christening (they stand up for readings and sit down for hymns - backwards!) and was taken to see a great Norwegian band by the name of Kaisers Orchestra who had the entire hall in the palm of their hands. Great music and that's without understanding a word.
Last night they took a cigarette to the saddle. Obviously this is not accidental.
This morning I phoned the police. They advised me to report the crime but that it probably wont have any time put against it as they have more pressing problems. I'm leaning towards putting a note in the close however, saying the police have been involved.
Hopefully this will stop it all, otherwise I'm going to have to start keeping it in the bedroom :(

My geek fu is strong tonight. Now I can synch my iPod and google calendar. And post about it from the iPod.

Halloween was great, lots of people turned up to the party and much joy was had. Disco Jon repulsed all women, Gill was practically unrecognisable as a pink-haired punk, Antje Annie-Hall, Sandman Kieran, Hazel Hot-Lips, Ewan the Mac Daddy Pimp, Disco Daisy, Two-Tone Michael, Miggy Stardust, Mhairi's Bat Out of Hell, Velma and Daphne, Munchkin and Sharon's perfectt 70s couple and of course, Nigel's awesome "Play with my joystick" Pong costume. Smudge coped very well with the crowd, even managing not to savage my very drunk neighbour who chased him round the house for a stroke. Tidy up was suprisingly easy and the flat was in shipshape order by the time my mum arrived and we toddled off to the Good Food Show.
There was some very interesting things at the show, but far far too much cheese and oatcakes. We sampled lots of lovely food including some to-die-for Iberian ham, some gorgeous additive free colcannon from Mash Direct and a yummy black pudding from Ramsay's of Ayrshire. We also watched two demonstrations of amazing non-stick cookware, one Titanium and one ceramic. Both were pretty impressive in their non-stickness but the ceramic ones were way lighter. Overcome with show "must buy stuff"ness we bought a wok, grillpan, sautepan, omlette pan and saucepan which turned out to be not too much and almost 50% cheaper than buying it outside the show.
Next we sat down for out Winter Kitchen stint with James Martin who was hilariously funny, having a go at all the folk who phone in to complain that the chef's don't wash their hands on Saturday Kitchen, and Sainsburys, the sponsers of the Winter Kitchen.
Afterwards our throats were dry, so we headed to the drink side for the Gordon's Gin stand, only to find it shut. So instead we tried some lovely Sloe Gin Liquer, a very nice wine from Rickety Bridge (bought for further enjoyment last night), some Punk beers and two other breweries whose names escape me and some odd Swedish thing called Xante that was a bit pish.
By this time the doors were closing so we ran back, picked up our pots and took a taxi home.
Sunday we gave the pots a test run, frying an egg with no oil and it just slid off the pan. Then we put proper holders on the lovely deco quilts my Mum made me a few months ago, and went to ikea to get some of those hang-stuff-on-it tracks for the kitchen, my original hooks having disappeared into a black hole.
I had my one and only ski lesson, an experience I will never be repeating due to it's sheer awfulness. Then we went home and drank nice wine and watched Ironman.
