Place names are usually fairly descriptive, for example Hill Top Road is a road at the top of a hill; Hill Top Fisheries is a Chippy at the top of a hill; Little John’s Kebab Hut is a kebab hut owned by a man called John who happens to be vertically challenged. So, from that, what would you expect Four Lane Ends and Five Lane Ends to be? Logically it […]
Well, yes, it’s been over 10 weeks since I last blogged – and that was a rubbish one… So, what have I been up to? Well, lots really! Still working hard though! The main reason for the lack of updates was my main PC dying. The motherboard died but it wasn’t just a case of replacing it. Noooo… stupid MaFt decided to have one of those Small Form Factor PCs […]

Whoever thought up this one was a flippin’ genius! I mean, normally you get a one year guarantee on something that you can guarantee will break after one year and a day.

Or this Aboriginal painting from Queensland Or a Buddhist temple carving in Cambodia from around 1200AD: If dinosaur bones were only din the last 200 […]

One of the down-sides to working from home is the sever lack of blog material I encounter. Working at Leeds Uni was great as I used to commute via bus, train and foot every day. When I was at Nektar I had loads of time doing nothing (and getting paid for it) so blogging was easier. However, now I’m working at home I tend not to come across any peculiar […]

Postman Pat is one big lie and it’s about time something was done about it… Postman Pat (in case you didn’t know) MaFt **********http://maft.co.uk/blog
Is it just mine or do everyone’s MSN conversations take bizarre twists and turns within a short time? Yesterday I was talking to Bli and what started off fairly normal (a broken car) soon turned a bit weird (poo-powered terrorists)… Note that the colours have been changed to protect the innocent and the poor spelling left intact to protect our status as retards: Bli says:my car blew up on the […]
