Broadsword calling Danny Boy

I watched Where Eagles Dare last night. Interesting eh? I’d been playing with lots of PEAR stuff last night (notably the DB package), but the battery on my laptop finally died and I couldn’t be arsed to get off the sofa so thanks to the magic of sky plus I watched this film recorded from a few days ago.

On a different note, it seems the fantasy football stuff has taken off once again, so if you’re looking for the daily telegraph fantasy football password then you probably want to head over to my brother’s site. Don’t know why I’m getting loads of traffic for that stuff though - I don’t even like football!

Since being back from France I’ve been drinking rather a lot of Ricard (pastis) . It’s rather pleasant to have a nice cold glass when I get in from work, while I think about what exciting feast I’m going to rustle up for dinner. While over in France just about everyone I met said something along the lines of “Ah hello, you’re just in time for an aperitif! Would you like a Ricard?” With this level of consumption it was inevitable that I would get a taste for the drink…

The only downside to this is that it tends to make my evenings rather unproductive. Ah well, I’m getting more sleep these days

I’m pleased to say that my local supermarket stocks it too, much to the surprise of a couple of French folk I know over here. They say they’ve looked for it before but could never find it. Not looking hard enough I say. These French just lack a real work ethic me thinks…
