Monday, 15th December, 2003 Naughtius Maximus  You're a Roman! Beside the Tiber River, you and your people were created by the great Romulus and Remus. Beginning as a small, unheard of town in Italy, your people overthrew their rulers and grew to become the largest Empire known to man. Which ancient society do you belong to? brought to you by Quizilla --------------------------- Thursday, 11th December, 2003 If you like many others have bought the 2004 Good Beer Guide, you may have noticed that its cover is, well, rubbish. Apart from the stupid colour scheme - monochrome except for the beer, it looks like they've used a different photo and done a bad photoshop job on it. Notice the way none of the liquid seems level with anything else. Notice the bloke on the right doesn't seem to be holding his pint properly, if at all. Notice that the woman on the left, who seems to have been added as an afterthought, seems to have a "pint" glass of a different size to the others. I bet you could find a picture of these three in exactly the same position holding wine glasses. All in all, it looks like a vain attempt to make Jehohah's witness city types look like real drinkers. Well, IWD and myself (real drinkers if ever there were any) have produced an alternative front cover, depicting a far more realistic drinking scene. Fell free to cut this out and stick it to the front of your copy:  --------------------------- Wednesday, 26th November, 2003 I thought you might like to know what was no.1 in the UK charts on each of my birthdays.

--------------------------- Thursday, 9th October, 2003 I wonder if this was one of the 3,634 blogs surveyed by Perseus - The Blogging Iceberg which showed that 66% of blogs have been "abandoned"? --------------------------- Friday, 20th June, 2003 More Games Online Pictionary is rather addictive. I was rather proud at winning a game of it, until I realised I was playing a load of primary schoold kids. 3D Pool is wasting people's time quite a lot, but my PC at home isn't fast enough to run it. Here's another game here's one for my Welsh friends, and there's loads of other games here. --------------------------- Friday, 20th June, 2003 Coming soon! My infamous Welsh Colleges 2000 Dinner Romance Officer's speech! --------------------------- Monday, 2nd June, 2003 Games Here's a couple of games to keep you (well, me) occupied: Fly The Copter - South Coast Diaries - Seethru Zine This will drive you mad! --------------------------- Friday, 2nd May, 2003 This weeks top links If you think you've heard about some very strange people in this world, think again! This link and many others from www.memepool.com. If you, like many others, are worried that PTS is missing from the Visual Method Archive, you can rest assured that I've heard it on good authority that it (along with all the other treble place methods) will be back soon. Apparently I'm 70% snob. I have no idea what that means.... A friend of mine was sitting, bored, rifling through the Sunday newspapers, and discovered one of those advertising supplements. This had some classic items in it... have a look here for the scans of his favourites. Right, I'm off to play the sheep game for the rest of the afternoon..... --------------------------- Tuesday, 1st April, 2003 Close of Competition The competition is now closed, and I can now exclusively (of course it's going to be exclusively, I'm the one running the competition) reveal that the answer is that Iain Thompson owns www.percy.co.uk, which obviously I'd quite like. I've emailed him to find out, amoung other things, why he's got the website with this name, but haven't heard back from him. So if you're reading this Iain, email me. The winner is YAH, who says: "I'm thrilled, just thrilled, to have won the teastrainer, can you tell how thrilled I am? I'm so excited I can't think what to do with it - but I'm tempted to have it stuffed and mounted. Rest assured it will all be done in the best possible taste!". So congratulations to YAH. I should also mention Jim and Heather, who both sent in more suggestions than anyone else put together, and both receive a consolation prize of - a mention on this website. There'll be more equally as exciting competitions in the (probably distant) future. --------------------------- Friday, 28th March, 2003 Challenge! To pass the time until the close of my competition, take up my challenge: --------------------------- Wednesday, 5th March, 2003 Competition Time Right, as the start of a new effort to write more stuff on this site, I've decided it's time for an exciting competition. This question was originally posted sometime ago (and completely ignored) on the Ringing Drivel list. The question is: Ian Tompson has something I want. What is it? I've used a variation on the spelling of his name, so that those of you smart enough to use Google have a little more work to do. The first few correct answers (however many I decide, maybe only one) to be sent to competition@ucalegon.com before the closing date will be the winner, and will receive the fantastic prize of: a signed tea strainer! The closing date for this by the way is 31st March 2003. Rules are subject to change without notice. Judges decision is final and all that. --------------------------- Tuesday, 28th January, 2003 --------------------------- Wednesday, 8th January, 2003 I see the Central Council have produced a page containing the only two Royal methods worth learning.... --------------------------- |
