Bristol weekend

After lengthy consultations with the Pipedream legal team it has been decided that for the benefit of those with a nervous disposition (as well as those under the age of 18) that not all of the pictures from this weekend's activities will be published online. For many of us, the night of March 14th will remain etched in our memorys, however for the rest of you, it will have to remain a well kept secret.

Instead here's a picture of Daver and Steve pretending to be gorillas at Bristol zoo ...

All my dreams come true?!

Did my eyes decieve me, or did I see some giant pastie people in Bath town centre today? I like to think I wasn't dreaming and so I took a quick picture. All this was of course before they kidnapped me and forced me into their shop and made me eat some of their fine Cornish produce - and damn fine it was too. West Cornwall Pasty Company is now officially the best pastie shop in Bath - OFFICIALLY - but also the furthest from my work so at least I can claim to burn off some calories as I march up there to get one!!

Beard update

For those keen to find out how the progress of the Ginger Beard of Justice, here's my latest work photo which was taken for our internal company website last week. As you can see it's fleshing out nicely and looks less and less like a straggly mess every day. It has also stopped itching, however I find myself stroking it far too often. Clearly my latent desire to be an evil genius is manefesting itself through the beard and I will soon find myself wanting to buy a white cat and then take over the world!
