It’s Official - Mike and Angel engaged :-)

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Mike and Angel have decided to take the plunge and have announced their engagement. Although I had been tipped off a few days ago, Mike sneakily announced in on his blog on Friday, so I’ve only just noticed that the news is public and that I’m now free to mention it. No need for Ning Nings no more!

Obviously I thrilled and overly excited about the whole thing - and wish them both the best luck in the world.

More news as it happens.

Is it time to go and buy a hat?

Also, there’s clearly something in water, as Suw and Kevin have also announced their engagement. Congrats to them too.

Update 1: There’s a date! - 11/11. Now I need to arrange to be in the right country at the right time.

Update 2: ‘No… Nings no more’ I’m sorry to do that to the english language, I do know the double negative is a complete no no.

Happy Birthday mate, welcome to the club. We’d go out to celebrate, but us oldies need to be in bed early. :-)

Disapointed Idealist

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

At work, I’ve often been called a cynic; I’ve defended myself by saying that I’m simply a disapointed idealist.

Henry Ford:An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.

Hmmm, so that makes me upset that someone else got all the cash? That’s actually about right :-)

Happy Birthday Angel

My lovely, priestess of the lady lumps, herder of cats, tamer of Mr Mike and general all round good egg.

Hope this year brings you all that you desire. And that the cats stop crapping all over the house.

(In-Joke to Mike: Ning, Ning, Still resisiting….)

Pragmatic,

It’s the opposite of hope.

Wow. Ouch. (wow.)

Supporting ORG

As Suw puts it, it’s that time of year again.

Time to anti in for the next round of copyfighting.

ORG made big strides last year, formation of the group, organising of the copyfigters (among others), the Gowers review and the hiring of a full time Exec Director. Good stuff.

Ze making a movie?
