Platform 10 , . . WTH?
but . . . but . . . but we’re ALWAYS on platform 9. I’m not sure I can cope with this much sudden change in one day!

Quiz time . . .
The BBC has posted a couple of quizes today, one on sporting rules and the other on sitcoms.
I managed a pair of pathetic scores of 1 on sporting rules (!) and 5 on Sitcoms . . . surely you can all do better?

New Star Trek trailers, now available
New Star Trek trailers, now available: I’m probably not quite as excited for the new Star Trek movie as I am for Watchmen but it will be nice to see a new, fresh and re-imagined version of Star Trek after 20 years of the same formula being re-re-re-re-re-re-hashed … and the Trailer’s not bad either. Full marks to Simon Pegg for the comedy Scotty accent ;-)•
Kitty Cat Hitches Ride on Back of a Roomba
Kitty Cat Hitches Ride on Back of a Roomba: Welcome to the anthisis of the previous post … a cat sat on a running Roomba. Now I don’t know if I’m just overly anthropomorphisising (real word or too many endings?) here but it looks to me like this cat is perfectly happy accepting this lift, but is somewhat bemused that he’s not ending up anywhere new or interesting, like at the food bowl.•
Police and teachers on BNP list
Police and teachers on BNP list:So a bunch of people are members of a an organisation that either a) they’re not allowed to be, b) they’re ashamed of being and c) aparently is pretty lacking in it’s data security procedures.
I have zero sympathy for any of these racist bastards being outed as being racist bastards …

Hubdub.com - free money ;-)
A friend recommended a site to me a couple of days ago, www.hubdub.com
The basic idea is to bet on the outcome of various news and sports stories . . . the fun thing is you can go nuts with it because there’s no real money involved. You can also set-up your own bets and publish them. Harmless fun or another route into chaos, drugs and organised crime

10 Gadgets That Have No Business Using a Jet Engine
10 Gadgets That Have No Business Using a Jet Engine: Clearly, this article has the wrong title … it should obviously be called “10 things you should go and do with a jet engine, NOW!”. Rather unsurprisingly Top Gear features in 2 vids ;-)•
Kayakers’ 300ft dam drop attacked
Kayakers' 300ft dam drop attacked: Clearly Welsh Water are just being killjoys here. No one else is allowed to use the lake so there was no chance of other people being hurt and, if the guys doing it had bent themselves in the process then it’s their own problem as they knew they were doing something that was, shall we say, a bit daft ;-) Looks damn good fun though …•
What a day . . .
No posts over the weekend which alternatly involved eating, drinking sleeping, DIY, travelling, eating drinking, sleeping, shopping, cooking, eating and yet more drinking . . .
This morning came as quite a shock, not least because I’d spent most of Sunday somehow thinking it was Saturday - hence the shock at wondering where my weekend had gone. The start to the week wasn’t helped when I awoke at 6am this morning. Tuesday to Friday my alarm is set for 6am in order for me to catch the 6.45 train from Cambridge but on Mondays I work from home and get, at least, an extra 2 hours in bed . . . but not today.
Today I awoke just before 6, lay in bed totally failing to get back to sleep for nearly 20 minutes before giving up the unequal struggle and getting up. Oh well, get a few misc tasks out of the way first thing, have breakfast and start work. Working from home is nice as I actually get more work done due to a lack of interruptions. I can chill out for lunch, watch a bit of TV, jump onto my PS3 or browse abound (and hopefully post a couple of blog items). I also do more work as I tend to work longer hours. It’s a nice way of easing myself into the working week.
I don’t know if not much has come up from my RSS feeds or I’ve just been very busy, I suspect both, but I haven’t even tweeted since I first got up this morning. My plan with the new site was to post at least one item, something, every single day. The weekend blew that one away but I was determined to not skip today - even if I just managed to post some of the reasons why I hadn’t posted (while finishing work)
Tomorrow is likly to be busy too but at least I’ll be able to sort out a few things as I left myself drift during the journeys too and from work . . .
