Opera House Re-Launch

Just been to the new Opera House launch and to say its a bit of an improvement is a massive understatement! Really, really good! see pics and video, bit more and more video.

Almost good enough to hold a wedding reception – the pics just don’t do it justice!!

Philip J Fry (aka Fry the Cat)

After filming this I came back five minutes later to find Fry stalking the old car aerial I was using, waiting for it to move again!

Beneteau Oceanis 40

Its a Beneteau Oceanis 40 and its being delivered in October (which I think is a bit of a crap time to have a boat delivered!) I can’t wait! its got 3 double births and even a bow thruster (slightly excessive?) and of course all the gadgets (this is my dad buying this after all!)

Now all my rents have to do is find a marina, oh and a house – they move out on the 15th of June! Which means I have to find somewhere else to store all my stuff – our flat just isn’t big enough!

Emily

Emily has come to stay with us whilst Gem’s parents are relaxing round the caribean on a hooj cruise ship – its a little bit cramped but I’m enjoying the exercise to be honest! Although I did have to take her for a walk in torrential rain earlier :-/

Renault UK paid link broken, suprised?

I couldn’t help but smile a little bit when I noticed that the top paid link on Google for the keyword ‘Renault’ results in an error page! I guess even the big players get it wrong sometimes. I’ve let customer services know so I wonder how long it will take them to sort it…!

Koenisegg – Top Gear Killer..?

Another Koenisegg, another high speed crash involving top gear – when will they learn?

The largest traffic cone known to man had been left on the inside of the corner; a six-foot high lump of orange plastic with a solid, square-edged, extremely heavy base. We hit it.

120mph is a conservative estimate of our speed at the point of first impact.

oops.

CSS Margins – IE & Firefox

If you ever get margins in IE an Firefox being different then you should take a look at this article” by Andy Budd. Its all about the collapsing margins apparently! I’ve been having trouble with these for months and finally I have a way to avoid it instead of creating crazy workarounds that work for reasons I don’t know!! Yeah!
