No improvement and have a few more episodes where pain has just knocked me out for several hours
Went to see my GP yesterday (my actual GP, not the duty emergency one). She gave me a lot more time for discussion and now know a lot more about what’s wrong with me. She doubled [...]

I’ve been a bit unwell recently.
Last Thursday, after getting home from work and having some dinner, I felt very full (even though I hadn’t eaten much) and experienced a fair amount of upper abdominal and chest pain. This started to become debilitating so lovely wife called for an ambulance (which arrived very quickly).
The paramedic in the ambulance did [...]

I finally upgraded my iPhone to an iPhone 3G this weekend.
Or more precisely, I bought my lovely wife an iPhone 3G and thought I might as well get one for myself at the same time

My TomTom (GO520) got a software upgrade yesterday, and seems to have gained three new features:

2. Kate now tells me she can’t find a faster route (IQ maps or something)
3. Lane assist

I’ve long wanted to clean this all up, but it’s just not [...]

It took a while, but after a lot of hard work by the team, we finally got it up.
Where ‘it’ is the One True Global* Puma.
* the other Puma being the dodgy one that only runs in the US
I watched The Incredible Hulk at the weekend (the one with Edward Norton).
For some reason I thought that most people believed that the previous film was rubbish and this was much better, even good, but I didn’t think so.
Or maybe I imagined that.
Anyway, how Norton got an Oscar nomination for it is beyond me. Hurt [...]
A number of people I see and people in the media are groaning about it still being October yet the Christmas decorations are up in some places, Christmas ads in magazines and shops etc, and it’s true, it’s all a bit much.
But the other day, whilst in Sainsbury’s, I saw Hot Cross Buns!
That’s like half [...]
