Explosion in Oslo
There’s just been an explosion in Oslo, close to the offices of the Norwegian govt, central Oslo. No information yet as to wheher or not it’s a bomb. It may be an act of terror, and we’re not amused. But the timing is weird.. let’s keep cool, and check that everyone’s okay.
Anything is possible!
If you’re working this summer you might enjoy/need this! Link of the day: ZOMBO Originally forwarded to me by the Bloons in 2007, I often stop by Zombo.com to feel better in the office.

Mafia Meeting with Uncles, Aunts and Ass. Other Folk
Bollicks to this, I’m off to Kristiansand! We’re teaming up with my side of the family for a Great Outdoors Experience, with barbecue and sleeping in tents outside my grandmother’s house. It will be something completely different and I will enjoy some so-called quality time outside the reach of the cold hands of IT. Alas, […]

Truckin' June 2011, Vol. 10, Issue 6: Happy 9 Years of Truckin!
Yeah, that’s right! The decade old online rag of world-weary travellers’ tales has just turned 9 years old, and I’m celebrating tonight in Oslo by drinking Red Stripe beer (a Jamaican brew). The site was created by Pauly, edited by Change100 (big shout-out!) and written by some 120 alcoholics with typewriters. I have not published […]
