By tim, on October 31st, 2010 at 5:02 pm Someone sent me an email recently and asked about the photographs that you see in the blog header now that I’ve fiddled with the template I use. They’re all photographs I’ve taken myself during the last two or three years (with perhaps one exception – my wife may have taken the photograph of Xlendi Bay in Gozo). Here are all 12 of the current blog headers, which are selected at random when you visit here.
Revelation, Chatsworth House – May 2008
Revelation is quite hypnotic when you see it in action. Water fills the central sphere which causes the . . . → Read More: Photographs
By tim, on June 23rd, 2010 at 6:25 pm So, the flags will be staying on my car for a few more days. Unless they manage to “fall” off on the way down to Bracknell tomorrow morning, that is …
You can have too much of a good thing, you know
By tim, on June 20th, 2010 at 9:43 pm I’ve been moaning constantly about the number of people driving round with England flags on their cars since before the World Cup started. Well, I need to have something to be grumpy about. I’ve been especially critical of people who have been flying cross of St. George flags with “England” written on them. A fellow blogger tweeted on 12th June that they reminded him of Kenny Everett talking about subtitles for the hard of thinking.
So, imagine my utter delight at receiving these beauties today. They are quite simply the best Father’s Day present ever. Thank you, Jessica.

By tim, on October 17th, 2009 at 9:29 pm I’ve spent quite a lot of today revising. That is, apart from a couple of hours fighting through the crowds at Asda (someone please remind me never to go there on a Saturday again) and subsequently using the bucket and sponge and the other lovely cleaning materials I purchased to give Huffty a wash. Compared to all of the other cars I’ve owned, she’s definitely high maintenance. But she’s lovely. <contractual obligation>Just like But not as lovely as all of the other beautiful women in my life</contractual obligation>.
Anyway, I’ve re-written the plan for my seen essay again today and . . . → Read More: ED209 – 4 days to go
By tim, on September 6th, 2009 at 5:54 pm Here she is …
She’s gorgeous. And to the owner of the Suzuki Liana who thought they could out-accelerate her on the A52 today – sorry, she may be small, but she’s way nippier than you are from a standing start!
By tim, on September 3rd, 2009 at 9:00 pm I picked up Huffty from Beechdale, the Alfa dealers in Derby at lunchtime on Tuesday. She looked absolutely gorgeous in the showroom and I was very happy when I drove her away. The first trip was a little under 2 miles, back to the office. And then the heavens opened. And they seem to have stayed open ever since. So even with less than 200 miles on the clock she’s filthy. She needs a good wash so I can take pictures of her before someone runs a supermarket trolley into her!
So something else to do this weekend along with . . . → Read More: Huffty – First Impressions
By tim, on August 28th, 2009 at 1:32 pm Now that I know the registration mark of my new car, it has to have a name based on it. So it’s going to be called Huffty – despite pleas from the women of the house to name it something a little more Italian.
There’s a heartwarming story in the Crewe and Nantwich Guardian about a MiTo and a bride to be. Either that, or it’s a very cleverly placed piece of advertising for the Mangoletsi dealership and her husband to be’s business The Leather Suite Warehouse.
