Waste of Space
I don’t really mean it. Another specialist blog, this one about waste management (or mismanagement, in some cases.)

It’s been a long time since I’ve used the full Owen Spinneyhead alter ego, in fact, I don’t think I’ve even mentioned it on the blog. It’s been practically a decade, in fact, back to when I wrote for Grip. If someone’s searching for it they must be a real blast from the past.

Just a minute
One-minute movies at the bbc. MAybe this would work for my ‘make a film’ thing to do.
100 Things (part 3)
51. Make love outdoors
The roundabout incident doesn’t count as it was unplanned, drunken horniness. However, I could go for getting 46 at the same time.
52. Join the Mile High Club
53. Join the Mile Low Club
In a cave or down a mine.
54. Join the Two Metres High club
On a train. Sleeper carriages count.
55. Exceed 40mph on a bike
Downhill counts.
56. Build a house
57. Learn to play a musical instrument
58. Get a signed letter from a serving head of state
Probably not going to be Tony, though.
59. Break a record
Even if it is for the silliest ‘Hundred things to do’ list.
60. Burn all my CD singles to MP3
Just to give myself an easy goal and because that’s what I’m doing right now.
Only ten this time, I can see the last forty taking a while and getting sillier.
The End
If you weren’t there, the following probably won’t make sense-
As UMIST merges with Manchester University, so do the students Unions. Ladies and gentlemen, lower your heads and pray silence for the memory of UMIST Students Association (nee Union). No flowers please, but you can make a donation to the beer fund.
I was Welfare Officer (93-94 HAck), Tim was Education(?) (9?-9?, I can’t presume to know his hack status), Daz worked for Grip and was on Council (again,no presumption on hack status), most of us were involved with Rag and/or Events. And that’s before we spread the net to include FoS.
Oh yes, and congratulations to Ian B
Cittaslow
Ludlow has been designated Britain’s first Slow City. Typically, the Times sent an idiot to write the report and he spends the whole article looking down on the quaint country folks who prefer quality of life to crap burgers and overpriced coffee. In its defence, the paper also has a call to slowness as a path to improved health.
Netsky-V
Right I’m off to download an anti-virus update.
Q & A
