Me and My Drum, has tagged me with the “What’s on your desktop?” meme.
So I guess it’s Meme time again for me

Many would argue, including myself that 1995 until 2000 were great years for music.

Whilst re-modelling my blog I found the nice big Feedburner icon you can see to the right of this post. Looking at my measly Technorati icon I decided I wanted a similar one. After searching with no luck I decided to make one for myself.

It’s a monumental occasion when something hits a big number!

Today I just (sort of) moved into a new apartment and I just managed to start a job washing dishes in a kitchen.
It’s a very different life to the one I had in London where I owned a flat and charged [...]

I only just saw this clip today and thought I would share it.
