It was a long trip, let me tell you. The plane from Orlando to Chicago was jammed full like sardines packed in a can. A little snack which to be honest with you was consumed in 20 seconds flat.
I waited for a while at O’Hare and got involved in the book that Diane had sent [...]

I am going on a trip to England on Wednesday, from Orlando via Chicago. It’s ostensibly for a Christening of my niece and nephew, but I haven’t been home in several years so it’s also to see the rest of my family and catch up.
It will be a long journey and to make things a [...]

Yes I have moved! Did you even notice? After a year at thex.com who I work for on occasion I have decided to move my blog from a subdirectory to a place of pride with it’s own domain (www.theenglishguy.co.uk). Since I have used the name, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was NOT taken [...]

So it seems that we have dislodged one brutal, uncompromising regime, to have it replaced by another. Gee, aint that wonderful? I mean we spent countless billions in the fight against a regime that would execute people willy-nilly on a football field, prosecute and brutalize women for showing their ankles, to now see a man, [...]

You would think that having a large hosting company would mean your technical support would be on the spot, right? Well it seems that both Mel and I believe that. To our chagrin…
I mailed 1and1.com a couple of days ago, and again yesterday asking the same question about hosting. I still have not had a [...]

And you think YOUR nation’s Army has tough discipline? –

A Mexican soldier shot dead two subordinates for refusing an order to clean up their base on the country’s Caribbean coast, a police spokesman said on Monday.

I found this on Digg, thought that people might enjoy looking at (read: drooling) the SEAL’s new stealth ship. Quite a bad boy eh? Reminds me Batman though…
