You just can't beat a cup of tea and a bit of a lie-in on a Saturday morning...

Very sad. He was great.

Golden Amen

Well how very really jolly interesting. Your actual classic breakbeat building block is a fundamental fractal structure! Coo, well I never, stap me vitals, etc:

Amen Break / Golden Proportion

Junglist massive indeed.

Ooooh, look, Dilbert done gone all 2.0:

I think I might further clutter up my sidebar with it, unless anyone has any reasonable objections (or in fact anyone actually reads this nonsense :)

Yes, well obviously that's backscatter diffraction...

I know, I know.

Sorry, but after taking this just now:

I just couldn't resist:

Word to your mother, indeed.

Please Welcome

The latest addition to the Lightly clan:

A somewhat dramatic arrival (of which more later) but for now, we rest...

Overheard #38

After a month's hiatus, we're back with this from the kitchen table:

It's not 'Ally McBeal' just because it's got that woman in it...

Just Send Me An Email On My Camera And I'll Text You The Address From My Calendar

I liked this: There's a Phone in my Phone?

"Of course, I could use my cell phone to call my wife and tell her how upset I am about the traffic jam, but somehow, that seems wrong to me."

They Think It's All Over...

...actually it is now:

Manchester United 2-1 Arsenal

A game that sums up our season; rampant for the first third, failing time and time again to take our chances in the second and then losing all semblance of organisation whilst continuing to play the most pure, stunning, visionary, one-t0uch and yet utterly ineffectual football in the third, er, third.

Oh well :(

One particular personal highlight was having my text read out on 606 following the match, of which I am quite proud and stand by every word:

Have we all forgotten that Wenger said this team was "not ready", way back in August? If they finish third, they will have outperformed both expectations and last season. It is maturity that we need, and that will come. No need to panic buy; just build up the squad around the proven talent which is already there.

All true. If you read some of the Gooner blogs, you'd think we'd just been relegated from the Ryman's Premier. Have faith chaps, this is the third young team AW has put together. Rome (or should that be Milan?) wasn't built in a day*...
