Courchevel

Wow.

Back from skiing in Courchevel. What a fantastic place!

Wonderful skiing. Great restaurants for lunch. Easy access to the rest of the 3 valleys.

Service Stations

An unremarkable article about a Which report on service stations. Apart from this comment.

Who wants to stop at a bloody service station serving "stuffed pheasant" and "chutneys"?

Note the quotes and the idea that somehow "chutney" represents the peak of culinary pretension.

Cool

I'm like the look of these...

Mr think he doth protest too much

Want to be a witness in a libel case?

Only if you have a mobile phone set to vibrate...

Pots and Kettles

Some geezer has decided he can no longer continue to do the voiceover for Chef in South Park.

Citing the reason..

"There is a place in this world for satire but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs begins,"

Ha. He is kidding. Intolerance and bigotry are religions' stock in trade.

Crazy Cycle Lanes

Looks like in ost cases you're going nowhere!

del.icio.us

del.icio.us is cool. It's meant to be about 'social bookmarking' or something like that.

However, my main reason for using it is so that my 'favourites' are centrally stored; i.e. I can access my bookmarks from work and home, etc.

I've even had a quick stab at integrating into this page as you can see on the right hand side. If it looks shit it's due to over-aggressive cacheing so hit CTRL-F5.

Boris on bikes

Boris J had a cycle accident in almost exactly the same circumstances to mine.

With just one detail missing; the French guy that took me out suggested that we go for a coffee!

Coool

Online boggle. The game I never lose. Until I lose.

Fish Oil Scam

Patrick Holford on the recent omega 3 story in the press.

And a quote..

“ It is disappointing that when the vast majority of the evidence points to the positive benefits of Omega-3 Fish Oils for heart, that one review paper can cause so much concern amongst consumers.”
