30 March 2004: Rant ‘n’ Rave Subcategories

I’ve been looking at the hierarchy for categories in this the site for some time and have been less than impressed with what I see.

27 March 2004: Stop!

Bye bye Mark and Lard.

24 March 2004: Keywords Metadata

It’s taken me a long time to realise, but I finally have. The meta keywords tag in HTML is now very pointless.

24 March 2004: The Foresters, Ealing

Every now and then you discover a pub you’ve never been to. And for this one, I’m indebted to Ealing Online whose relentless task of reviewing pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants in Ealing, led me to the Foresters door on Sunday.

24 March 2004: The New Inn, Ealing

I’m not going to look back on The New Inn with rose tinted glasses. It wasn’t that great before, and now it’s been done up, it’s still not. It always was a pub that had potential but I doubt the new look will do anything to solve its problems other than burn a hole in someones pocket.

18 March 2004: House Buying Updating Thing

Update into what’s going on in the house buying world.

17 March 2004: I Want My Peppercorn

15 March 2004: Ain’t Never Going to be predictable?

Sometimes I wonder if I’m too predictable.

15 March 2004: T.J. Duffy’s, Ealing

12 March 2004: Music, sweet music

Ever sat down and listened to a song and it was just so beautiful, so wonderful, so utterly amazing, that it made you want to cry? Just cry. For no apparant reason beyond the fact that it’s just so… so… so utterly fantastic?

10 March 2004: To the Graveyard (Shift) Again.

Mark Radcliffe is heading back to a familiar sounding timeslot, abliet on a different station. But what will feature in this show that sits in a timeslot often known as ‘The Graveyard Shift’?

9 March 2004: New Theme

Being bored is dangerous. It means I tend to mess with things. And lo, there is now a third theme to the site.

7 March 2004: Standing on the corner with two dogs

Whilst at Borough Market yesterday, Catherine spotted Sue Perkins - probably best known as one half of comedy double act Mel and Sue, and less well known as host of Radio 4’s The 99p Challenge.

3 March 2004: Thou Shalt Not View This Website

More ridiculous conditions websites like to ‘enforce’ agreement to.

2 March 2004: House Bungling Halifax

After giving a heart-stopping moment on the phone the other day where they applied the wrong credit score and told us we could only borrow £20,000 less than they originally told us, the Halifax screwed up again.
