Posted on July 31, 2005 by Arthur

A pair apart

Posted on July 31, 2005 by Arthur

We saw both ‘Constatine’ and ‘The Village’ today. While I was aware of the clue of ‘The Village’, I had never seen it. I’m not sure if it was worth seeing: maybe Nigh Shyamalan should concentrate on finishing off ‘Unbreakable’. … Continue reading →

The Space race is over

Posted on July 27, 2005 by Arthur

Just a couple of minutes ago, I saw the BBC new ticker say that ‘NASA is grounding the Space Shuttle program because of foam that hit the shuttle’. You’ve probably seen the succesful launch of the Discovery, yesterday. Currently it’s … Continue reading →

Forth and Back

Posted on July 27, 2005 by Arthur

Last night, when returning home both my wife and I thought it was awfully quiet at home. For (almost) three weeks, my dad stayed around the place enjoying a long break from busy life in The Netherlands. We all had … Continue reading →

Posted on July 25, 2005 by Arthur

Talking about bombs, it appears there was a bombscare around town too: Truro police officers responded to an erratic driving incident and ended up calling assistance from the Halifax RCMP bomb squad. I wonder why someone would drive around with … Continue reading →
