Mrs Clapton bought me a selection of books for Christmas one of which was Smiley's People by Le Carre. I never got around to reading this cold war series but starting with the third in the series would be a poor place to start. Another (late) Christmas present was an Amazon Kindle, the DX version, a...

Just got my bi-annual letter of demand in the post from HM Revenue & Customs for my half yearly tax bill. Those merry old souls always make sure it arrives just in time for Christmas. As I opened the envelope and withdrew the form it sliced into my hand drawing blood. They're not satisfied with just...

Okay, its probably heresy to post this link and hope the source (clue in the link) doesn't lead to a ban for me :-) , but in a photographic thread I can't let this link go unmentioned. Yes, you'll feel dirty just going there but... WARNING: Some definitely unsafe for work photographs (not in a tradi...

I was driving in and around Bolton all day today. In that whole time I saw just two gritter wagons. They were both on St Helens Road and one was just 250m behind the other. They were both gritting the same section of road!

Don't be embarrassed. I feel exactly the same. I have a sister who is Downs and I take it as a personal insult every time I see or hear the word.

Interesting weekend in Manchester! Saturday evening was spent in St Johns church in Chorlton in the company of Helen Watson and the Lovenotes. Five women singing acapella in magnificent surroundings. They did a range of Christmas songs with no religious connotations at all but a healthy dose of humo...

Thanks for that, Mummy. I never actually liked the song (how could anybody not love Rudolph?) but Steyn gives us a wonderful history there and I've bookmarked the site.

Okies, bought DragonAge yesterday. ....I have to say I'm impressed, although playing it on "normal" difficulty seems to make it fairly easy. I've had around seven hours game time on this so far and its just beginning to get interesting. There's still far too much standing around watching the cut sc...

This time last year the present Mrs Clappers and I watched some of the then current Spooks series and enjoyed it very much. I had seen the first two series but then for some reason missed the rest and she hadn't seen any of it at all. We decided to catch up with the whole thing before series 8 start...
