Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified. Under One's Own Steam. 20 October 2010 • 7.41 pm. I’m can’t make out a thing Davros is saying! 8217; But really, no-one has the faintest idea what we’re going to use the available frequencies for. A three-year-old could tell you they amount to the same thing. I always thought. Deserved a better home anyway. The new channels are no better. Just shows re-runs of. All day. No-one who had a job watches. The News at Six. And that changed everything. Every little ...

Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified. Under One's Own Steam. 7 February 2012 • 10.57 am. Don’t make any journey through the snow, even if it’s absolutely necessary. I couldn’t really change half-way through or I’d never get going again. So, since the last thing I wanted was a broken paper, making the whole journey redundant, I plumped for the left-hand-over-the-brake option. Sadly, I was killed in the incident.

Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified. Under One's Own Steam. 24 February 2013 • 2.12 pm. The Curious and Unexplained Phenomena of Disney: an Attack on Science. Firstly, there were the accents. On one level, you have, say, Princess Jasmine from. Who has a perfectly ordinary American accent. Yet her father countenances his words with decidedly English diction: to a nine-year-old, this is confusing by itself. And it was exactly the same with the tea set in. Beauty and the Beast. I still liked the c...

It’s a race against time, keeping up with evolution | Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified

Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified. Under One's Own Steam. 26 October 2012 • 11.30 pm. It’s a race against time, keeping up with evolution. I’ve worked out that, by my current rate of progress, I could sort out the borders by the end of February if I spent just eight hours a day on them, I suspect work will start to get busier and I don’t want to miss out on my second year because of a few thousand dandelions.

My solution for Lent: give up exercise | Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified

Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified. Under One's Own Steam. 6 March 2011 • 2.57 pm. My solution for Lent: give up exercise. Insurance. And I haven’t even had it a year yet. It’s surprising what you can carry on one, too: I’ve safely transported a small bonsai before. And I know of one lady who, after re-decorating her bathroom as a student, realised what was required to finish the job was a red toilet seat. Guess how she got it home? Firstly, we are talking about a group of people whose reactio...

I’m sure there was a point to all this… | Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified

Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified. Under One's Own Steam. 28 November 2010 • 10.39 pm. I’m sure there was a point to all this…. I have a very odd sort of memory. That is to say, it doesn’t really work in any useful way. For most practical things, such as one might use in everyday life, it is hopeless. If you tell me that something’s going to happen on a certain date, I will instantly put it into my iPod to save forgetting it. If I don’t, then I won’t be there. What’s my mobile number? The gre...

Town bike is more at home in the country | Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified

Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified. Under One's Own Steam. 25 June 2011 • 7.59 pm. Town bike is more at home in the country. The frame isn’t especially good, either. It’s made from aluminium, so it’s light, but it also flexes so much you could measure the bending in whole centimetres. Even half-power makes it creak and groan and complain so much it’s a wonder the tubes are still welded together at all. So why have I put up with it for so long? Why don’t I just put it on eBay and walk? In the b...

Charles Ormrod's Latest Thoughts Embloggified. Under One's Own Steam. 24 April 2011 • 6.38 pm. Time’s fun when you’re having flies. Hullo, fried cuttlefish, a curved slice of space and a very merry Easter to you all! A bank holiday, people are more inclined to lift their behinds out of their settees, settle them comfortably into their cars and drive off somewhere, which hasn’t helped matters considerably. Still. Heigh ho. On a happier note,. Is playing at the K.P.A. at Keele University on Fri...I do apol...
