tallinn

As regular readers will know, I travel to Tallinn (Estonia), several times a year for a week or two.
This year it looks like I’ll be going for the whole summer. I fly out in June, with no return flight booked. The kids are going into Nursery, and I’ll be doing some private English tutoring. If […]

430

Four hundred and thirty.
That’s the number of flights that have been cancelled since the Terminal 5 debacle began. That’s 430 planes worth of really pissed-off travellers.
The sheer scale of this colossal fuck up is astonishing. Bags are now being flown to Milan to be sorted. We’re so shit, we’ve started outsourcing our gaffs […]

casting the net - rightwing revisionism, and the left fighting back

Today’s netcast is up, over at LC.

Mrs. tyger is back from Madrid, and has brought back some tasty Iberian dried ham. It’s so yummy. I rushed out for fresh coffee and Petit Pains, and we had a continental breakfast to die for. Now Mrs. tyger and her sister have gone into Nottingham shopping - with […]

kumu

Kumu Museum (gallery) photoset is up.

I have just spent the day on a photowalk with my Nikon D80 DSLR. I have over 150 shots to upload of Tallinn. I’ll post the link (update: link) later after I’ve uploaded to flickr and done the required editing and rotating (uploading straight from SD rather than clogging my iPhoto software - my ageing […]

baltic dispatch

It’s wet and cold.
Maybe we’ll get snow on Tuesday, for New Years. Maybe.
Tomorrow is of course the big celebrations, New Years Eve. We’ve been invited to friends who have a huge house they built themselves - sauna etc. I’m looking at a late night. I don’t operate well if I haven’t had a decent night’s […]

casting the net - bye, bye 2007

It’s my *last* blog review of the year, and it’s up at LC.
The reviews will be back on 9th January.
I’m taking the holidays off. In fact, we fly out to Tallinn on Saturday for New Years (arriving back to Blighty on the 8th). I have tonnes of writing to do while I’m away, but […]

casting the net - better late than never

Today got off to a rubbish start. My internet was down. I was cut off from the world. I was cold and I was naked.
I couldn’t even leisurely play XBOX Live in my enforced free time. Because my internet was down! Annoyed I brought forward a meeting, so at least now I have this afternoon […]

missing the cubs

The Mrs. and the kids have been away in Tallinn now for 2-and-a-half weeks, and they’re going to be another month or so before I see them again. I’m really busy so I’ve been sort of okay, but then Mrs. tyger sent me some pics, and now I’m pining for her and my cubs…

Don’t […]

One of my own this time. Last year, for Mrs. tyger’s birthday, we went to Rome.
This is just down from the bus station.
Taken with a Pentax Optio X […]

Ah, the perfect holiday

A resort with no cell-phone coverage?

Falafel, mayo, and the £6-per-hr broadband

I have spent the last couple of days in Hertfordshire working out of our head office. Last night I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Aston Clinton, near the town of Aylesbury. It’s about 30 miles north of London.
The hotel was fine, even if the room was a little predictable. It […]

When I first visited Tallinn, a few years ago, I took Mrs. tyger to this Chinese restaurant. it was tasty. It’s not far from the main Viru entrance […]
